SPLITTING OPERATION / ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
When loading or positioning a log always use the bark side, never the ends. Never place your
hands or body parts between the log and the splitter.
2.
Never load or unload logs while the ram is moving.
3.
Do not pile logs to be split in a place where you need to reach across the splitter to load them.
4.
Log ends need to be cut square, so they do not slide out while splitting and cause a safety
hazard or excessive force to the log splitter components. Use a chainsaw (not included) to cut
the logs ends square before attempting to split them.
5.
Never attempt to split more than one log at a time. A piece of a log can unexpectedly be thrown
from the machine, causing personal injury.
6.
Do not use if there is any indication of damage to the hydraulic cylinder.
7.
Do not use the splitter to split logs across the grain. Doing so will damage the log splitter and
could cause log pieces to be thrown, injuring the operator or bystanders.
