Safety
Always keep bystanders, including children and pets, at least twenty-five (25)
feet away from the work area. Only the operator should stand near the
equipment and only within the safe operating area prescribed in this manual
(refer to the photos on safe and unsafe operating zones in the “Operation”
section.)
When the ram of the log splitter is in the return mode, keep your hands off the
machine — the log splitter is designed to automatically stop when the cylinder
is fully retracted.
ALWAYS disconnect the spark plug wire when the log splitter is not in operation.
Do not, under any circumstances, alter your log splitter. This equipment was
designed and engineered to be used in accordance with the operating
instructions. Altering the equipment, or using the equipment in such a way as
to circumvent its design capabilities and capacities, could result in serious or
fatal injury and WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
Never operate, or allow anyone else to operate this equipment while
under the influence of medication, drugs, or alcohol.
Never wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught or become entangled
in the log splitter.
NEVER place hands or feet between log and splitting wedge or between log
and ram during the forward or reverse stroke.
DO NOT STRADDLE OR REACH ACROSS THE SPLITTING AREA WHEN
OPERATING THE LOG SPLITTER.
Do not step over your log splitter when the engine is running because you may
trip or accidentally engage the ram.
NEVER attempt to load your log splitter while the ram is in motion.
Only use your hand to operate the control lever. NEVER use your foot, knee, a
rope, or any other extension device.
