It is designed for this use only. Any other use can cause serious injury
or death.

PREOPERATION SAFETY

1. BEFORE operating this log splitter, make sure that you wear safety
gear such as goggles or safety glasses, steel toed shoes and tight
fitting gloves (without loose cuffs or draw strings). Always wear a
protective hearing device when operating this log splitter.
2. NEVER wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be caught by moving
parts of the log splitter. Keep clothing and hair away from all moving
parts when operating this log splitter.
3. Check all safety guards and shields to be sure they are in the proper
position. Never operate with safety guards, shields, or other protective
features removed.
4. Make sure machine is on a flat, dry, solid ground before operating.
5. ALWAYS operate your log splitter in an open area. (Exhaust fumes
contain carbon monoxide which can be deadly when inhaled.)
6. ALWAYS operate your log splitter in daylight or under good artificial
light.
7. ALWAYS operate your log splitter on level ground. (Operating on a
slope could cause the log splitter to roll over or logs to fall off.)
8. ALWAYS block wheels to prevent unintended movement.
9. ALWAYS lock beam in either the horizontal or vertical position.
10. ALWAYS keep the work area clean. Remove split wood around the
log splitter immediately so that you don't stumble over it.
11. Check all nuts, bolts and hydraulic fittings are tight to be sure the
equipment is in a safe working condition.
12. Both ends of the log should be cut as square as possible to help
prevent the log from riding out of the splitter during operation. Do not
split logs greater than 25 inches in length. Uneven logs (e.g. knotted,
curved, etc.) should not be used.
13. ALWAYS check the oil level before you start the log splitter.
14. Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
