SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
■ MAKE SURE THE LOG SPLITTER is on a level
surface. Block the splitter as required to prevent
unintended movement.
■ ALWAYS OPERATE the splitter from the
manufacturer’s indicated operator zone.
■ LOGS TO BE SPLIT ON RAM-TYPE UNITS should
be cut as squarely as possible.
■ THE MACHINE OWNER should instruct anyone
assisting him or her in safe log splitting operation.
■ ALWAYS operate the log splitter with all safety
equipment in place and all controls properly adjusted
for safe operation.
■ ALWAYS operate the log splitter at manufacturer’s
recommended speed.
■ WHEN LOADING a ram-type log splitter, place your
hands on the sides of the log not at the ends. NEVER
place your hands or any part of your body between a
log and any part of the log splitter.
■ ON RAM-TYPE log splitters, NEVER attempt to split
more than one (1) log at a time unless the ram has
been fully extended and a second log is needed to
complete the separation of the first log.
■ ON RAM-TYPE log splitters on which the logs are not
square, the longest portion of the log should be rotated
down and the most square end placed against the ram.
■ CLEAR DEBRIS from moving parts but only when
the power source is shut off.
■ USE ONLY YOUR HAND TO OPERATE THE LOG
SPLITTER CONTROLS.
■ ALWAYS UNPLUG FROM THE POWER SOURCE
while repairing or adjusting the splitter except as
recommended by the manufacturer.
■ CIRCUIT CAPACITY AND FUSES:
a) Use only an electrical circuit having adequate capacity
as recommended by the log splitter manufacturer.
b) “Blowing” a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker is
usually a warning that you are overloading the
machine or have too many devices taking power
from the circuit, or both. Do not install a higher
capacity fuse!
■ LEARN AND UNDERSTAND all controls and the
proper use of the equipment.
■ SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use to instruct other users. If you loan
someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
