engineered in accordance with operating instructions.  Altering this equipment, or using this 
equipment in such a way as to circumvent its design capabilities and capacities, could result in

• 

NEVER use splitter for any other purpose than splitting wood.  Any other use can result in 
injury.  Your splitter is a precision piece of power equipment, not a toy.  Therefore, exercise

pull you into it.  Keep hair away from moving parts. 

 

• 

NEVER operate your splitter on wet, muddy, or icy surfaces. KEEP work area clean of split 
wood.  Safe footing is essential in preventing accidents.
