Hydraulic Safety:
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid may be under high pressure or may be hot and can cause personal injury. Read, understand and
follow the following safety precautions.
1. The hydraulic system of the Log Splitter requires careful inspection. Wear eye protection and gloves prior
to inspection.
2. Hydraulic fluid may be under high pressure or may be hot and can cause personal injury.
3. Escaping hydraulic fluid can create a fire hazard and ignite if exposed to an ignition source.
4. Check for hydraulic fluid leaks by passing a piece of paper or cardboard underneath or over the area of
the leak.
5. Do NOT check for leaks with your hand.
6. Fluid escaping from the smallest hole, under pressure, can have enough force to penetrate the skin resulting
in tissue damage and cause serious injury or death. Machine operation should stop until any detected leak
is repaired.
7. Seek professional medical attention IMMEDIATELY if injured by escaping hydraulic fluid. Serious infection or
reaction can develop if medical treatment is not administered immediately.
8. Do NOT adjust the hydraulic valve. The pressure relief valve on the Log Splitter is preset at the factory. Only
a qualified service technician should perform this adjust.

Electrical Safety:

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the Log
Splitter's plug. When using the Log Splitter at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension
cord heavy enough to carry the electrical current that the Log Splitter will draw. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the
information provided below to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round
jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used. Only use extension cords of 50 feet
or less.
Cord Length In Feet
25' .............................................................................................................................................................. 14 gauge
50' .............................................................................................................................................................. 12 gauge
*A.W.G. = American Wire Gauge
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated
by the letters WA (weather approved) on the cord's jacket. Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose
or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
WARNING
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, Log
Splitter or other obstructions. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged, replace immediately. Never use the Log Splitter with a damaged
cord. Touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

Electrical Connection:

This Log Splitter is powered by a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is
120 volts, 60 hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). The power
supply circuit must be a 12 gauge wire - 20 amp circuit.
