✘
Only use your hand to operate the control lever. NEVER use your foot, knee, a
rope, or any other extension device.
When lifting or moving your EZ Split, keep the engine level (prevent it from
tipping). Allowing the engine to tip may cause oil to leak into the carburetor,
making starting difficult.
Log Splitting Safety
✔
Always keep your fingers away from cracks that open in the log during the
splitting operation.
✔
ALWAYS make sure that both ends of the log you are splitting are cut as square
as possible. This will prevent the log from sliding out of position while under
pressure. Logs should be 18 inches or shorter in length.
✘
Never pile logs to be split in a manner that will cause you to reach across the
log splitter.
✔
ALWAYS keep full attention on the splitting zone to prevent injury. Hazards
can arise from wood defects (knots, irregular shapes, etc).
Maintenance and Repair
✔
Follow all safety rules because most accidents involving the operation,
maintenance, or repair of products occur because the owner/operator failed
to observe basic safety rules or operating instructions.
✔
ALWAYS inspect your log splitter before each use. Make sure all nuts, bolts,
screws, hydraulic fittings, hose clamps, etc. are securely tightened.
✔
ALWAYS check the oil level in the hydraulic oil tank and engine reservoir.
✘
NEVER operate your log splitter when it is in need of repair or is in poor
mechanical condition.
✘
NEVER tamper with the engine to run it at excessive speeds. The maximum
engine speed is preset and is within safety limits.
✘
NEVER make alterations to your log splitter in any manner. Such alterations
may cause the log splitter to become unsafe and WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
✘
NEVER attach a rope or extension to the control lever or add width or height to
the splitting wedge. Such ALTERATIONS may cause the log splitter to become
UNSAFE and WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
✘
ALWAYS clean the unit after each use. If possible, store the unit inside or cover
it completely if stored outside.
