Familiarize yourself with all of the controls in a safe environment before starting to work with this
•
machine.
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Do not check for leaks with your
•
hand. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious
personal injury. Leaks can be located by passing a piece of cardboard or wood over the suspected
leak and looking 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.
Split only one log at a time. Never attempt to split two logs on top of each other.
•
Do not straddle or reach across the splitting area while operating the splitter.
•
Do not step over splitter when the engine is running. You may trip or accidentally activate the
•
splitting wedge. Walk around to get to the other side.
Never place hands or feet between log and splitting wedge or between log and ram during forward
•
or reverse stroke.
Never attempt to load splitter while splitting wedge is in motion. When loading log splitter, place
•
hands on the sides of the log, not the ends.
Only use your hands to operate the control lever. Never use foot, knee, rope or any extension
•
device.
Always keep fingers clear of splits that open in log during splitter operation.
•
When splitter is in the return mode, keep hands off the machine.
•
Only operate splitter on level ground, not on the side of a hill. It could tip or rolling logs, poor
•
footing, etc. could cause an accident.
Never operate or allow someone to operate this equipment while under the influence of alcohol or
•
drugs.
Always block the wheels to prevent movement while using splitter.
•
Never operate your splitter on wet, muddy, or icy surfaces. Safe footing is essential in preventing
•
accidents.
