2.15 Wood Processing Safety
The WP200 Series Wood Processors are designed
to winch, cut to length and split logs for firewood.
Review and follow safe operating and winching safety
instructions in this manual. Also review the safety
guidelines included with your chainsaw.
Below is an example of a safe work area. Not all work
areas are the same, but the principles presented here
can be applied to any work area.
The safe work area is divided into four zones:
Safe Zone
– Bystanders or any one not directly
involved with the work are allowed - outside of the work
/ danger zone, minimized hazards.
Work Zone – Workers helping the operator and
wearing the appropriate PPE are allowed - outside of
the danger zone, limited hazards.
Danger Zone
– Workers / bystanders should always
make eye contact with the operator before entering the
danger zone. Unauthorized Workers / bystanders are
not allowed in the danger zone. Hazards are present.
Operator Zone – Only the operator should be in
the operator work zone, do not operate the machine
outside of the operator zone.
