✔
ALWAYS make sure that both ends of the log you are splitting are cut as square
as possible. This will prevent the log from sliding out of position while under
pressure. Logs should be 24 inches or shorter in length.
✔
ALWAYS keep full attention on the splitting zone to prevent injury. Hazards
can arise from wood defects (knots, irregular shapes, etc).
✘
NEVER try to split two logs on top of each other.
✘
Never pile logs to be split in a manner that will cause you to reach across the
log splitter.
Maintenance and Repair
✔
Follow all safety rules, because most accidents involving the operation,
maintenance, or repair of products occur because the
assembler/owner/operator failed to observe basic safety rules or operating
instructions.
✔
ALWAYS inspect your log splitter before each use. Make sure all nuts, bolts,
screws, hydraulic fittings, hose clamps, etc. are securely tightened.
✔
ALWAYS check the oil level in the hydraulic oil tank and engine reservoir.
✘
NEVER operate your log splitter when it is in need of repair or is in poor
mechanical condition.
✘
NEVER tamper with the engine to run it at excessive speeds. The maximum
engine speed is preset and is within safety limits.
✘
NEVER make alterations to your log splitter in any manner. Such alterations
may cause the log splitter to become unsafe and WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY.
✘
NEVER attach a rope or extension to the control lever or add width or height to
the splitting wedge. Such ALTERATIONS may cause the log splitter to become
UNSAFE and WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
✘
ALWAYS clean the unit after each use. If possible, store the unit inside or cover
it completely, if stored outside.
Towing
✔
Raise the support leg to the highest position when towing.
✔
ALWAYS check before towing to make certain your log splitter is correctly and
securely attached to the towing vehicle. Be sure that the ball hitch you are
using is the proper size for the hitch coupler on the log splitter (see
“Specification” section). Be sure the safety chains are properly hooked to the
vehicle leaving enough slack for turning.
✔
ALWAYS allow for added length of the log splitter when turning, parking,
crossing intersections, and in all driving situations.
✔
ALWAYS be careful when backing up. You could jackknife your log splitter if
care is not taken.
✔
ALWAYS disconnect your log splitter from your towing vehicle before
attempting to use it.
