Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
Use the machine, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the machine for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
LOG SPLITTER SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DO NOT ALLOW anyone to operate the log splitter who
has not read the operator's manual or has not been
instructed on the safe use of the splitter.
NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN OR UNTRAINED ADULTS
TO OPERATE THIS MACHINE.
IF SOMEONE is helping bring logs to be split, DO NOT
start the machine until that person is clear of the area by
at least 10 feet. Only one person should operate, load,
and unload the log splitter.
NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT OR RIDE ON THE
MACHINE.
NEVER TRANSPORT ANYTHING OR ANYONE ON THE
LOG SPLITTER.
HIGH FLUID PRESSURES ARE DEVELOPED IN HY-
DRAULIC LOG SPLITTERS. Pressurized hydraulic fluid
escaping through a pinhole opening can puncture skin
and cause serious injury and/or severe blood poisoning.
Observe the following instructions at all times:
a) Do not operate the log splitter if it has pinhole leaks,
cracks, and/or any damage to the pressurized hydraulic
fluid system, including the bleed screw, oil drain bolt/
dipstick, hydraulic fluid tank/bolts, fittings, or any other
hydraulic fluid system component.
b) Stop the motor and relieve hydraulic system pressure
before changing or adjusting fittings, hoses, tubing,
or other system components.
c) Do not adjust the pressure settings of the pump or
value.
d) Ensure all hydraulic fluid system components are
secured and in good condition before starting the
log splitter. Keep your body and hands away from
pinholes, cracked, or damaged bleed screw, oil drain
bolt/dipstick, hydraulic fluid tank/bolts, fittings, or
other hydraulic fluid system components. Leaks can
be located by passing cardboard or wood over the
suspected area. Look for discoloration. If injured by
escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious injury,
infection, and/or reaction can develop if proper medical
treatment is not administered immediately.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Page 3 — English
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
SERVICE
Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained.
KEEP THE OPERATOR ZONE and adjacent area clear
for safe, secure footing.
LOG SPLITTERS SHOULD BE USED ONLY for splitting
wood. DO NOT use for other purposes.
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. The operator zone is in the right
rear area as facing the log splitter controls and never
directly behing the ram.
LOGS TO BE SPLIT ON RAM-TYPE UNITS should be
cut as flat as possible on each end.
ALWAYS keep hands and feet clear of moving parts and
partially split logs during the splitting operation.
NEVER attempt to split logs larger than 10 in. in diameter
or 20-1/2 in. in length. Only split dry whole logs and not
partial, unevenly shaped, logs that will not sit flat on the
work table, or logs that will not sit flat against the ram.
Only split one log at a time and do not attempt to split
stacked logs. Some types of wood are harder to split than
others. If the log splitter is having trouble splitting a log,
never continue to try for longer than five seconds.
BE thoroughly familiar with all controls and with the proper
use of the log splitter.
ALWAYS wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
ALWAYS operate the log splitter with all safety equipment
in place and all controls operating properly.
ALWAYS operate the log splitter at manufacturer's rec-
ommended 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.
