WARNING: ALWAYS keep hands and feet away from the endplate, wedge, and
partially split logs while loading, operating, and unloading the log splitter.
Important safety instructions:
• Hold bark side. Hold the bark side of logs when loading or positioning, never the ends.
Never place your hands or any part of your body between a log and any part of the log
splitter.
Note for vertical position loading: Place the log on the endplate and turn it until it leans
against the beam and is stable. If the log is too big or oddly shaped, stabilize the log with
wooden shims between the log and the endplate or ground. DO NOT use your leg or knee
to stabilize the log. NEVER stabilize the log by placing your hand on top of the log.
• Wedge moving. NEVER load or unload logs while the wedge is moving
• Straddling / reaching across. Never straddle, reach across, or step over the beam while
the engine is running and the log splitter is in the horizontal position. You could trip,
actuate the controls, and get seriously injured.
• Unsplit log pile. Do not pile logs to be split in a place that will make you reach across
the log splitter in order to load them.
• Square log ends. Logs that are not cut square can slide out while splitting and become
a safety hazard or cause excessive force to log splitter components. Use a chainsaw to
cut logs square on each end before attempting to split them.
• Single log. Never attempt to split more than one log at a time. Pieces of log can
unexpectedly be thrown from the machine causing serious injury.
• Split along grain. Do not use the log splitter to split logs across the grain. Doing so will
damage the log splitter and could also cause pieces of log to be thrown, injuring the
operator or bystanders.
Move Split Control Lever toward endplate to extend wedge and split log.
