AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
Put the log splitter on a 60 – 75 cm high, stable, flat,
and level work bench where there is plenty of room
for handling, and help the operator stay altert. Bolt
the log splitter to the work surface if it tends to slip,
walk, or slide.
Keep your work area clean and well lighted. Clutte-
red areas invites injuries.
Do not use the log splitter in wet or damp areas or
expose it to rain. Do not use it in areas where fumes
from paint, solvents or flammable liquids pose a po-
tential hazard.
INSPECT YOUR LOG SPLITTER
Check your log splitter before turning it
on. Keep guards in place and in working
order. Form a habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool area before turning it on. Repla-
ce damaged, missing or failed parts before using it.
DRESS PROPERLY
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewel-
ry (rings, wrist watches). They
can be caught in moving parts.
Protective electrically non con-
ductive gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended
when working. Wear protective hair covering to con-
tain long hair, preventing it from get caught in machi-
nery.
PROTECT YOUR EYES AND FACE
Any log splitter may throw foreign objects into the
eyes. This can cause permanent eye da-
mage. Always wear safety goggles. Eve-
ryday eyeglasses have only impact resis-
tant lenses. They are not safety glasses.
Do not put the log splitter on the ground
for operations. This is awkward operating position
that the operator has to bring his face close to the
machine, and thus risks being struck by wood chips
or debris.
EXTENSION CORDS
Improper use of extension cords may cause ineffi-
cient operation of the log splitter which can result in
overheating. Be sure the extension cord is no longer
than 10m and its section is no less the 2.5mm

to al-
low sufficient current flow to the motor.

tions. Connections must be made with protected ma-
