Operation
b. Only using your hand, push the control
lever forward (towards the log). If the
log moves before it is contacted by the
splitting wedge, release the control
lever and then reposition the log.
Operate the log splitter only when
standing in the safe operating area, as
shown in the picture.
WARNING
Make sure you stand clear from the
engine's exhaust. Hot exhaust is
intense and can cause serious
injury.
CAUTION
If you find you must hold the log
until the wedge touches it and
holds it in place, be very careful
not to put your hand between the log and
the end plate or the log and the wedge. If
you must, hold the log on top and in the
middle. Remove your hand immediately
when the splitting wedge engages the log.
Never use your hip or any extension
device to operate the valve control handle.
WARNING
Do not operate the log splitter by
reaching across the rail. This is a
very UNSAFE method which
could cause personal injury or even death.

WARNING
Do not reach or step across the
rail while the log splitter is run-
ning. This is a very UNSAFE
method which could cause personal injury
or even death.
c. Hold the control lever, extending the
splitting wedge, until the log is split or
the cylinder rod stops at its maximum
travel position. Stop the log splitter
(forward movement), at any point in
the splitting process, if you feel an
unsafe log splitting condition is occur-
ring. As the log is being split, DO NOT
reach forward and attempt to catch the
split wood — let it fall to the ground.
d. Once the wedge reaches its full for-
ward travel, pull back on the control
lever to the full retract position. The
ram of the cylinder will automatically
retract into the cylinder. It is not nec-
essary to hold the control lever as the
cylinder retracts. Stop the wedge if the
log sticks (see caution below). When
the cylinder is fully retracted, the con-
trol valve will automatically shift to a
neutral position.
e. DO NOT load another log or remove
split pieces until the wedge has com-
pletely stopped and the control handle
automatically returns to the neutral
position.
