between the log and splitter wedge, or between the
log and the ram during the forward or reverse stroke.
4. Never place hands or body near a hydraulic
fluid leak or check for a leak with hands or other
body parts. High-pressure fluid can be forced

place hands or any body parts between a
log and any part of the Log Splitter.

for the specific hazards in the work area.
16. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
