SYMBOL AFFIXED TO THE

z
UNDERSTAND YOUR LOG SPLITTER
Read and understand the owner’s manual and the labels affixed
to the log splitter. Learn its application and limitations as well as
the specific potential hazards peculiar to it.
z
DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND MEDICATION
Do not operate the log splitter while under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or any medication that could affect your ability to use it
properly.
z
AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
Put the log splitter on a 60 - 75cm high, stable, flat, and level
work bench where there is plenty of room to work. Bolt the log
splitter to the work surface if it tends to slip, walk, or slide.
Keep your work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered work areas
increase the likelihood of injuries occurring.
Do not use the log splitter in wet or damp areas or expose it to
rain.
Do not use it in areas where fumes from paint, solvents or
flammable liquids pose a potential hazard.
z
INSPECT YOUR LOG SPLITTER
Check your log splitter before turning it on. Keep guards in place
and in working order. Frequently check to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool area before
turning it on. Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before
using it.
z
DRESS PROPERLY
Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist
watches). They can be caught in moving parts.
Protective electrically non conductive gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair, preventing it from getting caught in
the machinery.
z
PROTECT YOUR EYES AND FACE
Any log splitter may throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can
cause permanent eye damage. Always wear safety goggles.
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They
are not safety glasses.
Do not put the log splitter on the ground for operations. This is an
awkward operating position and may cause the operator to bring
their face close to the machine and risk being struck by wood
chips or debris.
