(without loose cuffs or draw strings). Always wear a protective hearing device when operating this log splitter. • 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.
Page 10: General Safety
• KEEP all people and pets a minimum of 25 feet away from your work area when operating this log splitter. Only the operator is to be near the log splitter during use. • ALWAYS wear safety glasses.
Page 11: Operator Zone
SAFETY OPERATOR ZONE WARNING • ONLY operate the log splitter from the operator zone as shown in the diagram. The operator has the safest and most efficient access to the control valve and the beam in this location. Failure to operate the log splitter in this position can result in serious injury or death.
Page 12: Maintenance Safety
Serious infection or reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately. • ALWAYS be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the motor and moving the control handle back to stop position. • NEVER remove the vent plug from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log splitter is running.
Page 13: Fire Prevention
SAFETY FIRE PREVENTION WARNING • NEVER operate your log splitter near a flame or spark. Hydraulic oil is flammable and can explode. • NEVER smoke while operating or refueling your log splitter. Gas fumes can easily explode. • ALWAYS take a Class B fire extinguisher with you when operating this log splitter in dry areas as a precautionary measure against possible flying sparks.
Page 14: Electrical Safety
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. It should be con- nected to a power supply that is 115 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC).
Page 15: Speed And Wiring
A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.

Page 19: Log Prepratation
PRE-OPERATION LOG PREPARATION Logs should be cut with square ends. Never split logs larger than 10 in. diameter or 20-1/2 in. long. Uneven logs (e.g. knotted, curved, etc.) should not be used. Oil the wedge and upper side of the machine body. This will allow the log to move smoothly on the surface.
