b . Only using your hand, push the control
lever forward (towards the log). If the
log moves before it is contacted by the
splitting wedge, release the control
lever and then reposition the log.
Operate the log splitter only when
standing in the
safe operating area ,
as shown in the picture.
CAUTION
Make sure you stand clear from the
engine’s exhaust. Hot exhaust is
intense and can cause serious injury.
CAUTION
If you find you must hold the log
until the splitting wedge touches
it and holds it in place, be very
careful not to put your hand between the
log and the end plate or the log and the
splitting wedge. If you must, hold the log
on top and in the middle. Remove your
hand immediately when the splitting
wedge engages the log. Never use your
hip or any extension device to operate the
valve control handle.
WARNING
Do not operate the log splitter by
reaching across the rail. Do not
reach or step across the rail while
the log splitter is running. This is a very
UNSAFE method which could cause
personal injury or even death.
