Have your log splitter serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts
. This will ensure that safety is maintained.
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS FOR LOG SPLITTERS
• All personnel must read the manual or receive correct training before
they use the log splitter.
• Before starting work, check for soundness of welded joints, securing
nuts & bolts.
• Examine the hydraulic system for leaks before you start work,
Hydraulic fluid can create hazards, causing you to slip and fall, your
hands to slip while using the machine, and it is also a potential fire
hazard.
• Make sure that the log splitter functions as expected before use.
• NEVER tamper with the log splitter.
• NEVER use the machine whilst under the influence of alcohol, drugs,
medicines, or when you are tired. A clear mind is essential for safety.
• The operator must take all necessary precautions to minimise the risk of
accidental damage or injury due to wood being ejected from the
machine.
• The log splitter is designed for one person operation.
• Do not allow split logs to accumulate; always clean up as you work.
Accumulated split logs and wood chips can create a hazardous work
environment.
• Split wood in the direction of the grain. Do not attempt to split a piece of
wood across the grain as this could seriously damage the machine.
• Please note some particular characteristics of wood when being
split. A small log can sometimes be hard to split if it has knots or
particularly tough fibres. It is important NOT to persist if the log does
not split fairly easily because the pump may be damaged.
