environments. Do not use the log splitter
in wet or damp conditions, and do not
expose it to rain. In order to avoid potential
fire hazards, never use the log splitter in
an explosive atmosphere where there
are fumes from paint, solvents, and other
flammable liquids.
• Keep children and visitors away. Never
allow children or untrained adults to
operate the log splitter.
• Make the workshop childproof. Disconnect
the power cord. Store the log splitter away
from children and other individuals not
qualified to use it. Keep the workshop
locked.
SAFE OPERATION
• Always check the oil level before using the
log splitter.
• Keep all guards in place and in working
order.
• Always inspect the log splitter before
turning it on. Make it a habit to check the
log splitter for oil leaks around the ram
cylinder. Do not operate the log splitter if
oil is leaking. Refer to the Troubleshooting
section in this manual.
• Check for damaged parts. Inspect the log
splitter, including the splitting wedge and
guards, for any malfunctioning or damaged
components, cracks, and deformation.
Replace damaged, missing, or faulty parts
before using the log splitter.
• Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, mounting and
any other conditions that may affect the
operation of the log splitter.
• Do not place the log splitter on the ground
during operation. Doing so creates an
awkward operating position in which the
operator’s face is close to the machine
thus increasing the risk of being struck by
wood chips or debris.
• The log splitter must always be operated
by only one person. If another person is
helping to load logs to be split, do not start
the machine until that person is clear of the
operating zone. Never ask another person
for help in freeing a jammed log.
• Inspect the log before loading it on the
log splitter. Ensure there are no nails or
foreign objects in the logs to be split. The
logs should be cut as squarely as possible.
Branches must be cut off flush with the
trunk.
• Always pay attention to the movement of
the log pusher. Do not load a log until the
log pusher has stopped. Do not attempt
to remove split logs until the machine has
totally completed its work cycle and has
stopped.
• Never attempt to split more than one log
at a time.
• Do not force the log splitter. It will do the
job better and safer at the feed rate for
which it was designed.
• Do not attempt to split logs that are
larger than the log capacity indicated in
the Specifications section. Doing so is
dangerous and may damage the machine.
• Only use the log splitter for its intended
purpose. Do not force the machine to do a
job for which it was not designed.
• Never leave the log splitter unattended
while it is running. Turn the power off. Do
not leave the machine until it comes to a
complete stop.
• Consult the instruction manual before
servicing. Product repairs and service
must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel.
• Maintain the log splitter with care. Keep
the log splitter clean and the blade sharp
for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
• Do not dump used oil into drains, soil,
or water. Dispose of used oil only at an
authorized collection point, or follow the
regulations that are in effect in your area.
• Only use the parts and accessories
supplied with this product or specifically
designated for use with this product
by the manufacturer. Using other parts
and accessories not designated by the
manufacturer could result in personal injury
or property damage.
