GENERAL SAFETY
• ALWAYS keep the operator’s manual nearby for reference. Reread the manual periodically.
• ALWAYS establish a safety zone restricting bystanders to a 10 foot radius around the log splitter when log splitter is
in operation.
• ALWAYS ensure that all operators are properly trained and have read and understand the operator’s manual.
• ALWAYS operate the log splitter with a clear mind, free of the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
• ALWAYS wear close fitted clothing, free from lanyards, strings or jewelry which could be an entrapment hazard.
• ALWAYS keep clothing and hair away from moving parts.
• ALWAYS keep safety shields in place during operation.
• NEVER manually move the splitter uphill or downhill.
PREPARATION OF THE LOG
Both ends of the log should be cut as square as possible to help prevent the log from riding out of the splitter during
operation. Do not split logs greater than 24 inches in length.
WORK AREA
• ALWAYS operate this log splitter on firm level ground.
• ALWAYS wear proper footwear with adequate traction.
• ALWAYS operate your log splitter in an open area. (Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide which can be deadly
when inhaled.)
• ALWAYS operate your log splitter on level ground. (Operating on a slope could cause the log splitter to roll over or logs
to fall off.)
• ALWAYS properly chock the wheels to prevent movement of the log splitter while in operation.
• ALWAYS operate your log splitter in daylight or under good artificial light.
• ALWAYS keep the work area clean. Remove split wood around your log splitter immediately so that you don’t stumble
over it.
OPERATION OF THE LOG SPLITTER
The log splitter is designed for a single operator, who
stands in the “operator zones”, using the hand closest
to the log to operate the safety latch, and the other
hand to press the control handle. Failure to operate the
log splitter in this position can result in serious injury or
death.
• ALWAYS load the log onto the beam up against the wedge.
• ALWAYS be careful when moving or lifting the log splitter. Get help if unit is too heavy to move by yourself.
• ALWAYS properly chock the wheels to prevent movement of the log splitter while in operation.
• NEVER place hands, body parts or clothing under the shields during operation. Moving parts could cause
entanglement.
• KNOW how to stop the log splitter and disengage the controls before operating it.
• NEVER place hands or feet between the log and splitting wedge during forward or reverse stroke as this could result in
serious injury or death.
• NEVER straddle or step over the log splitter during operation.
• NEVER reach or bend over the log splitter to pick up a log.
• NEVER try to split two logs on top of each other.
• NEVER try to cross split a log.
• NEVER attempt to load your log splitter when the ram or wedge is in motion.
• NEVER use your foot, a rope or any extension device to operate the controls. Only use both hands.
• NEVER move the log splitter while the engine is running.
• ALWAYS shut off the engine even if you are leaving the log splitter for a short period of time.
• NEVER touch the muffler and other hot areas of the engine during operation. Wait until the engine cools down.
• ALWAYS make sure the engine is turned off while routinely cleaning debris from splitter, work area and engine
• ALWAYS make sure the leg is secured in the down position.
• ALWAYS make sure the tongue is fully retracted prior to splitting.
• NEVER use this log splitter for any other purpose than splitting wood.
