Page 5: Preparation Of The Log
PREPARATION OF THE LOG Both ends of the log should be cut as square as possible to help prevent the log from riding out of the splitter during operation. Do not split logs greater than 20 in. in length. WORK AREA NEVER operate the log splitter on slippery, wet, muddy or icy ground. - Page 6 ALWAYS check for damaged parts before operation. Do not operate until it is repaired. NEVER use an extension cord longer than 25 feet. Minimum cord gage must be 16. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. NEVER stand or ride on the log splitter.

Page 7: Repair And Maintenance Safety
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY NEVER operate your log splitter when it is in poor mechanical condition or in need of repair. ALWAYS unplug the power cable before performing any maintenance and repair. Periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic fittings and hose clamps are tightened. NEVER alter your log splitter in any manner such as adding a rope or extenstion to the control lever or adding to the width or height of the wedge. -
Page 8: Hydraulic Safety
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 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. -
