OPERATING SAFETY RULES

• 

Only adults that have read this operation manual are allowed to operate the Log Splitter. 

• 

This Log Splitter must be operated by only one person at a time. 

• 

Do not split logs bigger than the specified log size capacity or logs too small to fit the 

Log Splitter properly. 

• 

Do not split green logs. Green logs may jam frequently due to moisture content.

• 

Remove all foreign objects from the logs, which may jam or damage the Log Splitter, 

such as nails, screws, and wires before splitting. 

• 

Remove all branches from the logs before splitting. 

• 

The log end surface must be level when placed on the Log Splitter. 

• 

Always split logs along the direction of vein.

• 

Do not put logs vertically on the Log Splitter. This may damage the Log Splitter.

• 

Always use both hands to handle the control device. Do not use other means to oper-

ate the control device. 

• 

Always Position the Log Splitter on a surface 60-75cm high. The surface must be free 

from any objects for complete freedom of movement for the operator while working. 

We recommend using a special Log Splitter platform.

• 

Do not operate the Log Splitter from the ground. This increases the risk of injury due 

to splinters or chips and makes the operation difficult. 

• 

Split only one log at a time. Do not split 2 logs at a time as the log may jump up and 

cause an accident. 

• 

Do not put or change logs while the Log Splitter is running.

• 

When operating the Log Splitter make sure other people and animals are at least 5 

meters away from the Log Splitter. 

• 

Do not tamper with the protective device of the Log Splitter. Also do not operate the 

Log Splitter without the protective device. 

• 

Do not force a log for more than 5 seconds on the Log Splitter. This may cause damage to 

the Log Splitter. In case this happens, stop the Log Splitter then turn the log 90 degrees.
