KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM SPLITS AND CRACKS WHICH
OPEN IN THE LOG. THEY MAY CLOSE SUDDENLY AND CRUSH OR AMPUTATE
YOUR HANDS.

on the sides of the log, not on the ends.
16. WAIT FOR THE PUSH ROD TO STOP MOVING before loading another log onto the log
splitter. Do not try to remove a split log until the entire splitting cycle is completed.
17. Use only your hands to operate the control lever. Never use your foot, knee, rope, or
extension device.
18. Never use your hands to remove a jammed log. If a jam should occur, release the ON/OFF
push button. Follow the instructions in this manual for removing a jammed log.
