LOG SPLITTER SAFETY RULES
SPLITTING THE LOG
1. Only a single operator should load and operate the log splitter. Keep all other living creatures, including children,
pets, and in-laws, a minimum of 20 feet away from the work area.
2. Use two hands when splitting. Pay attention and use caution at all times.
3. Use only your hands to operate the control lever. Never use your foot, knee, rope, or extension device.
4. The hydraulic log splitter is designed only for wood in a horizontal position. Wood may only be split while hori-
zontal and in the direction of the grain. Never split wood while in an upright position or against the grain. Both the
ram and the wedge should only contact flat surfaces of wood. Neither should ever contact the log’s rounded sides.
5. Split only one log at a time. Do not attempt to split two logs on top of one another.
6. The splitting tool poses a danger of injury to fingers and hands if improper feeding or placement of the wood
occurs. Danger of injury may occur from thrown wood due to improper holding or feeding. Carefully read the “Op-
eration” section of this manual and become familiar with its rules and guidelines.
7. Do not put your hands or feet between the log and the splitting wedge or between the log and the ram while the
tool is in operation.
8. Do not try to remove a split log until the entire splitting cycle is completed and the ram has fully retracted back.
WARNING: Keep your hands away from splits and cracks that open in the log. They may close suddenly, crushing
your hands and fingers in doing so.
9. Wait for the ram to stop moving before loading another log onto the log splitter. When loading, place your hands
on the sides of the log, not on the ends.
10. Never use your hands to remove a jammed log. If a jam should occur, release the ON/OFF push button. Follow
the instructions in this manual for removing a jammed log.
11. Securely stack the split logs to provide a safer, less cluttered work area.
MAINTENANCE
1. Disconnect the log splitter from its power source before making adjustments or repairs.
2. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
3. Connection and repair work on the electrical installation should only be carried out by a trained professional.
