c. Hold the control lever, extending the
splitting wedge, until the log is split or
the cylinder rod stops at its maximum
travel position. As the log is being
split, DO NOT reach forward and
attempt to catch the split wood — let it
fall to the ground.
d. Once the wedge reaches its full for-
ward travel, pull back on the control
lever to the full retract position. The
ram of the cylinder will automatically
retract into the cylinder. It is not nec-
essary to hold the control lever as the
cylinder retracts. When the cylinder is
fully retracted, the control valve will
automatically shift to a neutral posi-
tion.
e. DO NOT load another log or remove
split pieces until the wedge has com-
pletely stopped and the control handle
automatically returns to the neutral
position.

b. Only using your hand, push the control
lever forward (towards the log). If the
log moves before it is contacted by the
splitting wedge release the control
lever and then reposition the log.
Operate the log splitter only when
standing in the safe operating area
shown in the picture.
If you find you must hold the log
until the wedge touches it and
holds it in place, be very careful
not to put your hand between the log and
the end plate or the log and the wedge. If
you must, hold the log on top and in the
middle. Remove your hand immediately
when the splitting wedge engages the log.
Never use your hip or any extension
device to operate the valve control handle.
Do not operate the log splitter by
reaching across the rail. This is a
very UNSAFE method which
could cause personal injury or even death.
Do not reach across or step
across the rail while the log split-
ter is running. This is a very
UNSAFE method which could cause per-
sonal injury or even death.
