SAFETY

KNOW YOUR LOG SPLITTER

Read this manual and all labels to understand your YARDMAX log 
splitter and its limitations and potential hazards.

DRUGS, ALCOHOL, AND MEDICATION

Do not operate your log splitter while under the influence of 
drugs, alcohol, or any medication that could affect your ability to 
use it properly.

AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS

Secure your log splitter on level ground. Keep your work area 
clean and well lighted. Cluttered areas may cause injuries. Do not 
use your log splitter in wet or damp areas or expose it to rain. Do 

not use it in areas where fumes from paint, solvents, or flammable 

liquids pose a potential hazard.

INSPECT YOUR LOG SPLITTER

Inspect your log splitter before turning it on. Keep guards in 
place and in working order. Regularly check to see that keys 
and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool area before 
turning it on. Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts before 
using it.

DRESS PROPERLY

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry (rings, watches) that 
can be caught in moving parts. Wear protective nonconductive 
gloves and nonskid footwear. Pull long hair back or wear a hat to 
prevent hair from getting caught in the machine.

PROTECT YOUR EYES

Always wear safety glasses. Log splitters can throw foreign 
objects into the eyes, causing permanent eye damage. Everyday 
glasses do not have impact-resistant lenses and should not 
replace  safety glasses. Z87 rated glasses are recommended.

PROTECT YOUR BODY

Always stand behind the log splitter and be alert. Logs can 
become a projectile under force of the ram in any direction.

KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY

Only one person at a time should operate the log splitter. 
bystanders should keep a safe distance from the work area, 
standing behind the operator. never have another person help  
you free a jammed log.

EXTENSION CORDS

Improper use of extension cords can result in overheating. Your 
extension cord should be no longer than 30 feet and a minimum 
of 12 gauge with a 3-prong grounded plug.

AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK

never open the pushbutton box on the motor. For any service 
please contact YARDMAX or an authorized service center. Make 
sure your fingers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when 
plugging or unplugging the log splitter.

INSPECT YOUR LOG

Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in logs to be split. 
The ends of the logs must be cut square. branches must be cut 

off flush with the trunk. Knots can make a log split differently and 

could cause the log to become a projectile.

DON'T OVERREACH

Do not operate your log splitter on a slippery surface. never 
stand on the log splitter.

AVOID INJURY FROM ACCIDENTS

Always pay attention to the movement of the log ram. Do not load 
the log until the log ram has stopped.

PROTECT YOUR HANDS

Keep your hands out of the way of all moving parts. Keep your 
hands away from splits and cracks that open in the log; they may 
close suddenly and crush or cut off your hands. Do not remove 
jammed logs with your hands.

DO NOT FORCE TOOL

Your log splitter will do a better and safer job at its design 
rate. never try to split logs larger than those indicated in the 
specifications table. This could be dangerous and may damage  
the machine. Do not use your log splitter for anything other than 
splitting logs.

NEVER LEAVE TOOL UNATTENDED

Do not leave your log splitter until it has come to a complete stop.

DISCONNECT POWER

Unplug your log splitter when not in use and before making 
adjustments, changing parts, cleaning, or servicing. Consult the 
technical manual before servicing.

PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

Take used oil to an authorized collection point. Do not pour into 
drains, soil, or water.

MAINTAIN YOUR LOG SPLITTER WITH CARE

Keep your log splitter and its parts clean.

CHILDPROOF YOUR WORKSHOP

Store your log splitter away from children and others not 

qualified to use it.

WARNING! Stay of clear of all moving parts!
