GENERAL SAFETY Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death. EVER NEVER allow children to operate this log splitter. NEVER allow adults lacking proper instructions and understanding to operate this log splitter. KEEP all people and pets a minimum of 10 feet away from your work area when operating this log splitter. Only the operator is to be near the log splitter during use.
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 or ram during forward or reverse stroke. Serious injury or death could result. NEVER straddle or step over the log splitter during operation. NEVER reach or bend over the log splitter to pick up a log.
HYDRAULIC SAFETY The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hose and components. NEVER check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death.
