Correct Log Placement—Horizontal
• Always grasp the log by the sides not the ends
when placing in or removing logs from the
splitter.
This minimizes the chance of the operator
getting fingers, hands or arm between the wedge /
push block and the log.
•
Any logs or debris remaining on the splitter bed
should only be removed after it is safe to do so.
6.12 Splitting Wood
WARNING!
Risk of pinching or crushing hazard! The worker
loading the splitter MUST be the only one in

wedge.
Only one worker should operate and load the
wood splitter.

Hydraulic Control Valve Positions
IMPORTANT! Do not hold the valve lever to extend
or retract the cylinder once it has reached the end of
it's stroke. Doing so can overheat the oil and could
damage the engine.
5.
If the log is large enough to require another split,
reposition and repeat steps.
6.
Pile the split wood close to the working area, but
do not allow pieces to pile up and clutter the area.
A cluttered working area can lead to tripping and an
accident.
