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.

Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
•
Make sure machine is properly adjusted and in good
operating condition.
•
Store fuel well away from the wood pile.

•
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.

fumes away from operator's station.

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