WARNING!
Risk of pinching or crushing hazard between the
wedge or push block and the log!
Never place hands at the ends of the log.
Always grasp logs by the sides when loading or
removing.
• Always grasp the log by the sides not the ends
when placing in or removing logs from the
splitter. This minimizes the chance of the operator
getting fingers, hands or arm between the wedge /
push block and the log.
• Any logs or debris remaining on the splitter bed
should only be removed after it is safe to do so.
