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. 

 

 

 

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 

 

5.  Extend wedge 

Move Split Control Lever toward the end plate to move the wedge and split the log.
