SAFETY
YOU
are responsible for the
SAFE
operation and maintenance of
your Surge-Master Trailer Woodsplitter.
YOU
must ensure that you
and anyone else who is going to operate, maintain or work around the
Woodsplitter be familiar with the operating and maintenance procedures
and related
SAFETY
information contained in this manual. This manual
will take you step-by-step through your working day and alerts you to
all good safety practices that should be adhered to while operating the
Woodsplitter.
Remember,
YOU
are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only
protect you but also the people around you. Make these practices a
working part of your safety program. Be certain that
EVERYONE
op-
erating this equipment is familiar with the recommended operating and
maintenance procedures and follows all the safety precautions. Most
accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury or death by ignoring good
safety practices.
• Woodsplitter owners must give operating instructions to operators or
employees before allowing them to operate the machine, and at least
annually.
• The most important safety feature on this equipment is a
SAFE
op-
erator. It is the operator’s responsibility to read and understand
ALL
Safety and Operating instructions in the manual and to follow these.
Most accidents can be avoided.
• A person who has not read and understood all operating and safety
instructions is not qualified to operate the machine. An untrained
operator exposes himself and bystanders to possible serious injury
or death.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modification
may impair the function and/or safety and could affect the life of the
equipment.
• Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
