12.

Avoid accidental starting.  Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. 
 Plugging in the splitter with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.

13.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the splitter on.  A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.

14.

Do not overreach.  Keep proper footing and balance at all times.  Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the splitter in unexpected
situations.

15.

Use safety equipment.  Always wear eye protection.  Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

16.

Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform.
  Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

17.

Do not force the splitter.  Use the correct splitter for your application.  The
correct splitter will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

18.

Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must
be replaced.

19.

Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the splitter.  
Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

20.

Store idle splitter out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
The splitter is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

21.

Maintain splitter with care.  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.  Properly
maintained splitter with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.  Do not use a damaged splitter.  Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until
repaired.

22.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the splitter’s operation.  If damaged, have
the splitter serviced before using.
  Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
