•

accidents occur when more than one person operates the log splitter than any other
time.

Always wear protective gear such as safety goggles, protective hearing device, steel-
toed shoes, and tight-fitting gloves without drawstrings or loose cuffs.
•
Never wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be caught by moving parts of the

this manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the

injury to yourself or others.
