IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

NEVER

 use an extension cord longer than 25 feet. Minimum cord gauge must be 16, an undersized cord 

will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating. 

ALWAYS

 use your hand to operate the control lever and the switch. NEVER use your foot or any extension 

device. 

NEVER

 modify the plug provided if it will not fit the outlet. Have the proper outlet installed by a qualified 

electrician.

ALWAYS

 use a 3-wire extension cord with 3-prong grounded plugs and a 3-pole receptacles that accept 

this plug

NEVER

  loosen  or  remove  the  hydraulic  fitting  or  the  cap  of  the  hydraulic  tank  while  the  log  splitter  is 

running. 

NEVER

 operate your log splitter when it is in poor mechanical conditon or in need of repair. 

ALWAYS

 unplug the power cable before performing any maintenace and repair. Periodically check all 

nuts, bolts, screws hydraulic fittings and be sure the hose clamps are tightened.

NEVER

 check for leaks of hydraulic fluids with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost 

invisible. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious injury 

or even death. Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of cardboard over the suspected leak and looking 

for discoloration. 

ALWAYS

 seek medical attention immediately if injured by escaping hydraulic fluid. Serious infection or 

physical reaction can develop. 

ALWAYS

 be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the negine amd moving the valve control handle 

back anf forth should it become necessary to loosen or remove the hydraulic fitting. 

NEVER

 remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log splitter is running. Hot oil under 

pressure could result in serious injury.

a qualified service technicial should perform this adjustment. 

NEVER

 

operate your log splitter near a flame or spark, hydraulic fluid is flammable and can explode.
