SAFETY WARNINGS & INSTRUCTIONS
• UNDERSTAND YOUR LOG SPLITTER
Read and understand the owner's manual and labels affixed to the log splitter. Learn
its application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it.
• DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND MEDICATION
Do not operate the log splitter while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication that
could affect your ability to use it properly.
• AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
Put the log splitter on a 60 - 75cm high, stable, flat, and level work bench where there is plenty of
room for handling, and help the operator stay altert. Bolt the log splitter to the work surface if it
tends to slip, walk, or slide.
Keep your work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered areas invites injuries.
Do not use the log splitter in wet or damp areas or expose it to rain.
Do not use it in areas where fumes from paint, solvents or flammable liquids pose a potential haz-
ard.
• INSPECT YOUR LOG SPLITTER
Check your log splitter before turning it on. Keep guards in place and in working
order. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool area before turning it on. Replace damaged, missing or failed
parts before using it.
• DRESS PROPERLY
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches). They
can be caught in moving parts.
Protective electrically non conductive gloves and non-skid footwear are recom-
mended when working. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair, prevent-
ing it from get caught in machinery.
• PROTECT YOUR EYES AND FACE
Any log splitter may throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can cause permanent
eye damage. Always wear safety goggles. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact
resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.
Do not put the log splitter on the ground for operations. This is awkward operating
position that the operator has to bring his face close to the machine, and thus risks
being struck by wood chips or debris.
• EXTENSION CORDS
Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of the log splitter which can result
in overheating. Be sure the extension cord is no longer than 10m and its section is no less than
2.5mm2 to allow sufficient current flow to the motor.
Avoid use of free and inadequately insulated connections. Connections must be made with pro-
tected material suitable for outdoor use.
