environment is provided for the operator, bystanders and
the area around the work site. Untrained operators are not
qualified to use the machine.
Many features incorporated into this machine are the result of
suggestions made by customers like you. Read this manual
carefully to learn how to use the machine safely and provide
maximum operating efficiency. By following the instructions in
conjunction with a good maintenance program, your log splitter
can provide many years of trouble-free service.
IMPORTANT! Make sure all operators understand how to
put the log splitter in a Safe Condition before working with
this machine. See Safe Condition on page 9.

Each operator must be trained in the proper set-up and operating
procedures before using the machine.
1. Move the unit to a large open area to allow the operator
to become familiar with control functions and machine
response.

can endanger themselves and others, or damage property
and the machine.

with the work site prior to starting.
