Before Each Use – Work Site Selection and Set-Up
Step Three: Work site selection and log splitter setup
WARNING
It is important to select an appropriate work site and properly set up the log splitter in order to
minimize the risk of slips and falls, equipment rolling or tipping over, carbon monoxide poisoning,
and accidental fires.
1. Select Location Select an appropriate location for operating the log splitter. Inspect worksite for possible
hazards before each use.
Requirements:
1. Dry-level surface with good footing. Stay clear of areas with mud, ice, tall grass, weeds,
brush, or snow.
2. Outdoors, away from air intakes.
WARNING:
The running engine gives off carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can
kill you. You CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it.

ONLY run log splitter OUTDOORS and away from air intakes. NEVER run log
splitter inside homes, garages, sheds, or other buildings or semi-enclosed spaces.
These spaces can trap poisonous gases, EVEN if you run a fan or open windows.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the log splitter, shut off the engine
and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide
poisoning.
2. Fire Precautions Take the following precautions against fire:
1. IMPORTANT: If your splitter will be used near any unimproved forest, brush, or
grassy covered land,
then engine must be equipped with a spark arrestor.
(See the "Specifications" section of this manual to determine if your splitter already has a
spark arrestor. Contact Brave Product Support at 1-800-350-8739 for information about
obtaining a spark arrestor for your log splitter if it is unequipped.)
2. Make sure you comply with applicable local, state, and federal codes.
3. Keep a class ABC fire extinguisher available as a precautionary measure when operating
the log splitter in dry areas.
