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.
Make sure you stand clear from the
engine’s exhaust. Hot exhaust is
intense and can cause serious injury.
If you find you must hold the log
until the 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 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.
Do not operate the log splitter by
reaching across the rail. This is a
very UNSAFE method which
could cause personal injury or even death.
