GENERAL SAFETY Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death. EVER NEVER allow children to operate this log splitter. NEVER allow adults lacking proper instructions and understanding to operate this log splitter. KEEP all people and pets a minimum of 10 feet away from your work area when operating this log splitter.

HYDRAULIC SAFETY The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components. NEVER check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death.
