away from the wedge and beam slide.
Serious accidents can happen when other people are allowed inside the work zone. Keep
everyone besides the operator out of the work zone while operating the control lever.

Only use the log splitter in daylight/with adequate lighting so you can see and safely operate the
log splitter.

CAUTION
If a log gets stuck or will not split completely, push the control lever in the reverse direction and
allow the splitter to strip the log from the wedge.

carefully use a sledge hammer and crow bar to remove the log.
ALWAYS keep hands clear of the log and wedge when the log splitter is retracting.
