DANGER
NEVER
reach into saw area while engine is running. Saw chain
is extremely dangerous if in motion. One can lose body parts by
saw before one knows what happened.
NEVER
reach into splitting area while engine
is running. Extreme pressure is applied as
splitting ram pushes wood through wedge.
Wood will at times snap upward from where
ram is pushing against. Hands can potentially be pinched in or
be hit by flying wood. As wood passes through splitting wedge,
at times the piece will fling off small pieces as it breaks open, or
piece will at times completely fly out of the splitter itself. Severe
injury or loss of a body part will result if hands are caught or
pinched in this action.
NEVER
reach in around motor chains, deck chains, cables,
sprockets, or any moving component of this machine. Never
remove any guarding of any kind.

DANGER
Never attempt to process logs with nails, wire, stones, any kind of
hardware or foreign object. These objects can cause breakage of
equipment and become a potential missile.
Never attempt to process logs with vines or vine-like materials
wrapped around the log. This can result in dragging in body parts
or catching onto machine components causing machine damage
or personal injury. If vines or branches get wrapped around
sprockets or shafts, immediately stop the engine and remove the
material.

WARNING
After new machine has been in operation for approximately 2
hours, stop machine and go over all hydraulic fittings. Watch
for any leakage or oily spots around hose connections. Tighten
any fitting that seems to be loose. Beware of potentially hot oil
causing serious burns. Always check oil temperature at any time
before attempting to work on the hydraulic system. Allow oil to
cool down to ambient temperature before doing anything with the
system. Never work with hydraulic oil or its components without
hand protection and eye protection.

DANGER
ALWAYS
remember to remove the canvas cover from engine
before starting the engine. Heat from the muffler will ruin the
cover and potentially engulf the engine in flames.

DANGER
Always secure safety chain on the discharge conveyor. Do
not use winch cable to support your conveyor. Never stand
underneath conveyor even if it isn’t running. Failure of the cable
winch or safety cable will allow the conveyor to collapse resulting
in severe injury. Be sure the log deck leg pins are properly in
place before loading logs onto the deck. Log deck will collapse
if pins are not in place. Always install safety brackets onto the
conveyor before transit.
