1. Read the Operator’s Manual completely before attempting to use this log splitter.
2. Do not allow anyone to operate your log splitter who has not read the Operator’s
Manual or has not been instructed on the safe use of the log splitter.
3. Never allow children or untrained adults to operate this machine.
4. Many accidents occur when more than one (1) person operates the log splitter. If a
helper is assisting in loading logs to be split, never actuate controls until helper is clear
of the area.
5. Never allow anyone to ride on the machine.
6. Never transport cargo on the log splitter.
7. High fluid pressures are developed in hydraulic log splitters. Pressurized hydraulic
fluid escaping through a pin hole opening can puncture skin and cause sever blood
poisoning. Therefore, the following instructions should be heeded at all times.
–
Do not operate the unit with frayed, kinked, cracked or damaged hoses, fittings, or
tubing.
–
Stop the engine and relieve hydraulic system pressure before changing or adjusting
fittings, hoses, tubing, or other system components.
–
Do not adjust the pressure settings of the pump or valve.
–
Do not check for leaks with your hand. Leaks can be detected by passing
cardboard or wood over the suspected area. Look for discoloration. If injured by
escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if
proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
8. Keep the operator zone and adjacent area clear for safe, secure footing.
9. Your log splitter is equipped with an internal combustion engine including a spark
arrestor but is not intended for use near any unapproved federally controlled forest,
brush, or grass covered land. Always be sure you comply with your local municipality,
provincial, and federal codes when operating your log splitter. Always take appropriate
fire-fighting equipment with you in case of an event.
10. Log splitters should be used only for splitting wood. Do not use for other purposes
unless the manufacturer provides attachments and instructions.
11. Only split wood WITH the grain. NEVER split perpendicular to the grain.
