Using a Power Extension Cord
If it is necessary to use a power extension cord:
1. We recommend one that is moisture-proof. Moisture can produce a voltage drop, which
can impede the electrical motor from gaining full power and reduce the Log Splitter’s
performance.
2. Use only power extension cords that are 10 meters or less in length and 2.5 square
millimeters or more in diameter. Do not use power extension cords longer than 10 meters
in length or thinner than 2.5 square millimeters in diameter.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SAFETY
Always check for hydraulic leaks before using the Log Splitter. Spilled hydraulic fluid can
cause accidents such as slips and falls. Hydraulic oil on your hands can also cause your
hands to slip while operating the Log Splitter. Spilled hydraulic oil can also cause a fire. Be
sure the Log Splitter and your work area are clean and free of oil spills.
Never operate the Log Splitter if the hydraulic system is not working properly. This may
cause damage to your Log Splitter and may be hazardous to the operator.
PHYSICAL SAFETY
Operating the log splitter presents some possible physical hazards which can be
minimized by doing the following:
1. Always wear the proper safety gloves, safety hard-toed shoes, and the approved eye
protection gear when operating the Log Splitter.
2. Never operate the Log Splitter while under the influence of drugs, alcohol and certain
medication.
3. Never stay on top of the Log Splitter. You risk bodily injury if you fall.
4. Clean up as you work; accumulated split wood and wood chips can create a hazardous
work environment.
5. Always check the Log Splitter for lodged splinters to avoid possible puncture injury or
potential jamming of the Log Splitter.
6. Do not work in a cluttered work area, which may cause you to slip, trip or fall.
7. Keep onlookers away from the Log Splitter, and do not allow unauthorized persons to
operate the Log Splitter.
8. Always keep a safe distance between your hands and the log, and between the pusher
and the wedge. When the splitter is turned on, do not put your hand on any moving parts of
the Log Splitter.
9. Remove all jewelry and ornaments, and never wear loose clothes when operating the Log
Splitter. These can get entangled with the log chips which may cause injury.
