Operation
Do not attempt to operate the log splitter without fully understanding
all our instructions, safety precautions, and/or warnings.
If any doubt or question arises about the correct or safe method of per-
forming anything found in this or other Brave Products’ manuals, con-
tact your Brave Products’ dealer or call the Sales and Service representatives at
our main headquarters. Proper care is your responsibility.
When operating the log splitter make sure you
are standing in the
safe operating zone , as
shown in these pictures. You must stay in the
safe operating zone at all times when the
splitting wedge is in motion (whether extend-
ing or retracting). Never place any part of your
body in a position which would cause an
unsafe operating condition.
1 . Position your log splitter on flat, dry ground.
Make sure you read all the recommenda-
tions from the “Safety” section, before
using the log splitter.
2 . Make sure both ends of the log you are
splitting are cut as square as possible.
This will prevent the log from sliding out of
position while under pressure. All logs
should be 24 inches long or shorter.
Never attempt to split wood across the
grain. The log splitter was not designed
for cross-grain splitting. Doing so will
damage the log splitter and may cause
personal injury.
