Worksite Safety
✔
To avoid tripping, do not leave tools, logs, or other components laying around
the work area.
✘
NEVER operate your log splitter on slippery, wet, muddy, or icy surfaces. The
location you choose should be flat, dry, and free from any tall grass, brush,
or other interferences.
✘
NEVER operate the engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes contain car-
bon monoxide that can be deadly when inhaled. Make sure the area is well
ventilated.
✘
NEVER attempt to move your log splitter over hilly or uneven terrain without a
tow vehicle.
✘
NEVER use your log splitter at night.
✔
ALWAYS operate your log splitter on dry, solid, level ground.
✔
ALWAYS block the wheels to prevent movement of the machine while in
operation.
Operating Safety
✔
ALLOW ONLY ONE (1) PERSON TO LOAD AND OPERATE THE LOG
SPLITTER.
✔
Allow only adults to operate the log splitter. No one under the age of 18 should
be allowed to operate the log splitter.
✔
Always keep bystanders, including children and pets, at least twenty-five (25)
feet away from the work area. Only the operator should stand near the equip-
ment and only within the safe operating area prescribed in this manual (see the
photos on safe and unsafe operating zones in the “Operation” section.)
✔
When the ram of the log splitter is in the return mode, keep your hands off the
machine — the log splitter is designed to automatically stop when the cylinder
is fully retracted.
✔
ALWAYS disconnect the spark plug wire when the log splitter is not in operation.
✘
Do not allow any person to operate the log splitter until they have read and
understood the safe operating instructions contained in this manual.
