PREVENT FIRES
Do not smoke or have open flames when operating or refilling the log splitter. Never
operate the log splitter near a flame or candle. Oil is flammable and can explode.
•
KEEP BYSTANDERS AWAY
Allow only one person to load and operate the log splitter. Always keep bystanders,
including visitors, children and pets away from the work area, especially when the
log splitter is under operation. Only the operator should stand near the machine and
only within the safe operating area prescribed in this manual. Never use another
people to help you with freeing jammed log. No one under the age of 16 should be
allowed to operate the log splitter. Any individual under the age of 18 should have
the necessary training, skills to perform the functions properly and safely and should
always be under the supervision of adult.
•
INSPECT YOUR LOG
Never attempt to split logs containing nails, wire or debris. Always make sure that
both ends of the log you are splitting are cut as square as possible. This will prevent
the log from sliding out of position while under pressure. Branches must be cut off
the trunk.
•
DON’T OVERREACH
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Never stand on log splitter. Serious
injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
Do not store anything above or near the log splitter where anyone might stand on
the tool to reach it.
•
AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT
Do not straddle or reach across the splitting area when operating the log splitter.
Never pile logs to be split in a manner that will cause you to reach across the log
splitter. Only use your hands to operate the control levers. Never use your foot,
knee, a rope or any other extension device. Always pay full attention to the
movement of the wedge ram. Never attempt to load your log splitter while the ram is
in motion. Keep hands out of the way of all moving parts. Never try to split two logs
on top of each other. One of them might fly up and hit you.
•
PROTECT YOUR HANDS
Keep your hands away from splits and cracks which open in the log. They may close
suddenly and crush or amputate your hands. Do not remove jammed logs with your
hands.
•
DON’T FORCE TOOL
It will do a better and safer job at its design rate. Don’t use log splitter for a purpose
for which it was not intended. Do not alter the equipment, or use the equipment in
such a way as to circumvent its design capabilities and capacities. Never try to split
logs larger than those indicated in the specifications table.
•
DISCONNECT POWER
Unplug when not in use, before making adjustments, changing parts, cleaning or
working on the log splitter. Consult technical manual before servicing.
