et log splitter into either the horizontal or vertical splitting position
The HORIZONTAL splitting position is used for lighter logs that can be easily loaded onto
the beam. The VERTICAL splitting position is used for light logs as well as heavy logs that
are difficult to load onto the beam.
Note:
Musculoskeletal injury can result from lifting logs onto the log splitter if proper lifting
techniques are not used or the logs are too heavy for a person's size, weight, or strength.
In some cases, logs as small as 8" in diameter and 14" in length may be heavier than what
some persons should be repeatedly lifting onto the splitter.
The use of the vertical splitting position can greatly reduce the need to lift logs onto the
splitter. Employers are advised to consider NIOSH lifting guidelines when assigning
employees to log splitting tasks for an extended period of time.
WARNING : NEVER change splitting positions with the engine running. You
may contact the muffler and receive serious burns.
Make sure beam is locked securely in the horizontal position by checking the horizontal
lock.
