These important safety labels are illustrated below,
and are shown here to help familiarize you with the

questions regarding their meaning or how to comply
with these instructions, reread the complete Important
Safe Operation Practice text or contact your local
dealer.
Should any of the safety labels become unreadable
because of being worn, faded or otherwise damaged
during the use of your log splitter, please contact your
local authorized dealer to order replacement label.
The safety labels are easily applied, and will act as a
constant visual reminder to you and others who may
use the equipment. Following the safety instructions
