The operator should wear suitable PPE including eye
protection, gloves and safety boots. Close fitting
clothing should be worn to reduce the risk of
entanglement. The safety decals and other labels on the
machine are shown on the following page.
•
Never stand either side of the log splitter whilst
operating. Logs can sometimes split apart violently e.g.
due to knots. Stand in front of the machine to minimise
risk from falling debris.
•
Never hold the top of the log whilst setting in place or
splitting.
•
Never split two logs on top of each other.
•
The log splitter is very powerful but some hard or wet
wood can be difficult to split. Do not force the wedge as
this could cause injury to yourself and cause damage to
the log splitter.
•
Never let children operate machinery.
•
Do not leave machinery unattended whist it is running.
•
Both ends of each log should be cut as square as possible
to help prevent the log from riding out of the splitter.
This is also aided by the three holes in the log platform
having raised edges to reduce the risk of slipping.
•
Always choose a working area free from obstructions
and then keep the working area free from obstructions
such as logs and split wood.
•
Machine is for
single person operation only using both
hands on the operating lever
.
•
Operate splitter on solid ground level.
