WORK AREA

•
ALWAYS keep the work area clean. Remove split wood and debris from on and around the log splitter immediately to
prevent being a hazard to the operator or potentially causing damage to the machine.
PREPARATION OF THE LOG
Both ends of the log should be cut as square as possible to help prevent the log from riding out of the splitter during
operation. Do not split logs greater than 24-1/2 inches in length.
OPERATION OF THE LOG SPLITTER
ONLY operate the log splitter from the operator zone as
shown in the diagram. The operator has the safest and
most efficient access to the control valve and the beam
in this location. Operating the log splitter in another
location can result in serious injury or death.
•
ALWAYS block the wheels to prevent movement of the log splitter while in operation.
•
KNOW how to stop the log splitter and disengage the controls before operating it.

serious injury or death.

NEVER move the log splitter while the engine is running. Shut off the engine if you are leaving the log splitter, even for
a short period of time.
