IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Operation
1. Before starting this log splitter, review all safety rules. Failure
to follow these rules may result in serious injury to the
operator or bystanders.
2. Be sure to confirm all hose connections and hose clamps are
tight before each use. It is possible for connections to vibrate
loose over time.
3. Never leave the machine unattended with the power source
operating.
4. Never operate the machine when under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or medication.
5. The machine owner should instruct all operators in safe log
splitter operation.
6. Always operate the log splitter with all safety equipment in
place and all controls properly adjusted for safe operation.
7. Always operate the log splitter at manufacturer’s
recommended speed.
8. Always keep hands and feet clear of moving parts.
9. When loading a ram-type log splitter, place your hands on
the sides of the log, not the ends. Never place your hands or
any part of your body between a log and any part of the log
splitter.
10. On ram-type log splitters, never attempt to split more than
one (1) log at a time unless the ram has been fully extended
and a second log is needed to complete the separation of the
first log.
11. On ram-type log splitters on which the logs are not cut
square, the longest portion of the log should be rotated down
and the most square end placed against the ram.
12. Only split logs with the grain of the wood.
13. Use only your hand to operate the log splitter controls.
14. Do not refuel the engine until it has cooled for several
minutes.
Maintenance and Storage
1. Always shut off the power source while repairing or adjusting
the splitter except as recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Clean debris and chaff from the engine cylinder, cylinder head
fins, recoil starter cover, and muffler areas. If the engine is
equipped with a spark arrestor muffler, clean and inspect
it regularly (follow manufacturer’s service instructions).
Replace, if damaged.
3. Never store the unit indoors with fuel in the tank. Fumes
might reach an open flame spark. Allow the engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure.
4. Clear debris from movable parts, but only when the power
source is shut off.
5. Check to be sure all nuts and bolts are tight to assure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
