Do not attempt to operate the log splitter without fully understanding
all our instructions, safety precautions, and/or warnings. If any doubt
or question arises about the correct or safe method of performing any-
thing found in this or other Iron & Oak Products’ manuals, contact your
Iron & Oak Products’ dealer or call the Sales and Service representatives at our
main headquarters. Proper care is your responsibility.
When operating the log splitter, make sure you
are standing in the
safe operating area
, as
shown in these pictures. You must stay in the
safe operating area
at all times when the
splitting wedge is in motion (whether extend-
ing or retracting). Never place any part of your
body into a position that causes an unsafe
operating condition.
1
. Set your log splitter on flat, dry ground.
Make sure you read all the recommenda-
tions from the “Safety” section before
using the log splitter.
2
. Make sure both ends of the log you are
splitting are cut as square as possible.
This will prevent the log from sliding out of
position while under pressure. All logs
should be 24 inches long or shorter.
Never attempt to split wood across the
grain. The log splitter was not designed for
cross-grain splitting. Doing so will dam-
age the log splitter and may cause person-
al injury.

. Place a customer supplied lock or lock pin
into the latch assembly of the hitch cou-
pler.
Making sure the log splitter is securely
attached to the vehicle is the responsibili-
ty of the owner/operator. Failure to
securely attach the log splitter can cause
loss of control of the vehicle or the log
splitter being separated from the towing
vehicle, resulting in serious injury or death.
