The diameter listed is indicative of the maximum 

suggested size. A small log can be difficult to split when 

it contains knots or a particularly tough fiber. On the 

other hand, it may not be difficult to split a log with 

regular fibers even if its diameter exceeds the maximum 

indicated above

IMPORTANT!

SAFETY WITH GASOLINE - POWERED MACHINES

1.2

Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid. Gasoline also gives 

off flammable vapor that can be easily ignited and cause 

a fire or explosion. 

WARNING!

Always follow these precautions:
• Never run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation as engine exhaust contains carbon 

monoxide, which is an odorless, tasteless, and a deadly poisonous gas.
• Replace rubber fuel lines and grommets when worn or damaged and after 5 years of use.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors with the engine off and allow the engine to cool completely.
• Allow the engine to cool completely before storing in any enclosure. Never store a machine with gasoline 

in the tank or a fuel container.
• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running. Shut down the engine, disconnect the spark 

plug wire while keeping it away from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting, and then wait 5 minutes 

before making adjustments or repairs.

• Never tamper with the engine’s governor setting.

• Never cover the machine while the muffler is still hot.
• Do not operate the engine with the air filter or the carburetor air intake cover removed. Removal of such 

parts could create a fire hazard. Do not use flammable solutions to clean the air filter.
• The muffler and engine become very hot and can cause severe burns; do not touch them.
