Determine where the split wood is going to be piled
ahead of time. Make sure it does not interfere with
safe loading of wood into the splitter.

Precut logs so wood is ready to load into the
splitter. Do not run a chain saw and the splitter at
the same time.

Determine a safe work area location:
• Area must be clear of stones, branches or
hidden obstacles that might cause a tripping,
hooking or snagging hazard.
• Ground should be firm and level.

Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
5.
Make sure machine is properly adjusted and in
good operating condition.

Perform the

.
7.
Do not operate on hillsides or when working area is
cluttered, wet, muddy or icy to prevent slipping and
tripping. Operate only on level ground.

Do not operate machine inside a closed building to
prevent asphyxiation from engine exhaust.

Stop engine when leaving the machine
unattended.
