6.0
The log splitter should be kept in a horizontal position when in use.
6.1
ALWAYS
use the rear adjustable support leg when in use.
6.2
Lubricate the beam area where the splitting wedge will slide with a small amount of
engine oil.
DO NOT
use grease.
6.3
The log splitter is equipped with a control system that requires the machine to be
operated by both hands.
6.4
One hand will need to depress the safety handle while the other hand operates
the control handle.
This system keeps both hands clear of moving parts for safe operation.
6.5
The log splitter will stop working if either hand is removed.
6.6
Release the control lever to allow the log pusher to return to the start position.
6.7
DO NOT
continue to apply pressure once the log has been split, this causes
unnecessary stress on the rack teeth.
6.8
DO NOT
place your hands on the ends of the log when loading.
This is an unsafe method and could result in personal injury.
6.9
DO NOT
reach or step across the rail while the log splitter is running.
6.10
NEVER
attempt to split wood across the grain.
The log splitter was not designed for cross-grain log splitting and doing so could
damage.
6.11
Make sure both ends of the logs you are splitting are as square as possible.
This will prevent the log from slipping out of position while under pressure.
6.12
DO NOT
try and catch the split wood, allow it to fall to the ground.
6.13
DO NOT
attempt to split 2 logs at the same time. One of them may fly up and hit you.
