Splitting Operation
18
Important safety instructions:
•
Operator position
. ALWAYS operate the log splitter from the manufacturer’s
indicated OPERATOR POSITION. (See diagram above.) Other positions are
unsafe because they can increase the risk of injury from crushing, cutting, flying
objects, or burns.
•
Remove hands
. Remove both hands from log before activating the split control
lever.
•
Hand activate
. Use only your hand to operate the Split Control Lever. Never
use any other body part, or a rope, cable, or other remote device to actuate the
control.
•
Second person
. Many accidents occur when there is more than one person
involved in loading and operating the log splitter. Only one person should
operate the controls.
If a second person is assisting in loading logs, the operator
must NEVER actuate the split control lever until the assistant and all bystanders
are at least 10 feet away. NEVER allow an assistant to hold the log in place
while the operator actuates the Split Control Lever.
6. Stop wedge
Release Split Control Lever to stop wedge movement when log is split.
WARNING:
Cracks in logs can close quickly and pinch fingers. Keep fingers away
from any cracks that open in partially split logs.
