5. Load log 

Load log onto beam between the wedge and an endplate, cut edge against the endplate - 
positioned for a lengthwise cut. 

Notes:   

a) The log splitter is designed only for cutting lengthwise with the grain, NOT for 

cutting across the grain. 

b) This log splitter is designed for cutting logs only up to 24″ long and 16″ in diameter, 

lengthwise with the grain only. Larger diameter logs could get stuck on the wedge 
and longer logs will not fit on the beam. 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

      

Correct Log Orientation                                         Incorrect Log Orientation 

WARNING:

  ALWAYS keep hands and feet away from the wedge and partially split 

logs while loading, operating and unloading the log splitter. 

 

Important safety instructions: 

 

Hold bark side

.  Hold the bark side of logs when loading or positioning, never the 

ends.  Never place your hands or any part of your body between a log and any part of 
the log splitter. NEVER place hands on log while splitting.  

 

Wedge moving.

 NEVER load or unload logs while the wedge is moving. 

 

Straddling / reaching across

.  Never straddle, reach across, or step over the beam 

while the engine is running.  You could trip, actuate the controls, and get seriously 
injured. 

 

Unsplit log pile

.  Do not pile logs to be split in a place that will make you reach 

across the log splitter in order to load them.  

 

Square log ends

.  Logs that are 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. 

 

Single log

.  Never attempt to split more than one log at a time.  Pieces of log can 

unexpectedly be thrown from the machine causing serious injury. 

 

Split along grain

.  Do not use the log splitter to split logs across the grain.  Doing so 

will damage the log splitter and could also cause pieces of log to be thrown, injuring 
the operator or bystanders 

 

Forked logs

. Splitting forked logs can cause damage to the log splitter. Trim the 

forked log with a chain saw prior to splitting the log. 

 

Changing splitting position

.  Do not change splitting positions (horizontal/vertical) 

with the engine running.  You may contact the muffler and receive serious burns.  Be 
careful to avoid contact with hot muffler even after the engine is turned off.
