for safe operation. Failure to follow these rules may result in
serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

Logs that arc not cut square can
slide out while splitting and become a safety hazard
or cause excessive force to log splitter components.
Use a chainsaw to cut logs square on each end before
attempting to split them.
