If your log splitter is equipped with an

internal-combustion engine and intended for

use near any unimproved forest, brush, or

grass covered land, the engine exhaust

should be equipped with a spark arrestor.

Make sure you comply with applicable local,

state, and federal codes. Take appropriate

fire-fighting equipment with you.

Log splitters should be used only for splitting

wood. Do not use for other purposes unless

the manufacturer provides attachments and

instructions.

If unit is to be used by someone other than

original purchaser; loaned, rented or sold,

ALWAYS provide this manual and any

needed safety training before operation.

Operation

Before starting this log splitter, review the

"Rules for safe Operation." Failure to follow

these rules may result in serious injury to the

operator or bystanders.

Never leave the machine unattended with

the power source operating.

Never operate the machine when under the

influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.

The machine owner should instruct all

operators in safe log-splitter operation.

Always operate the log splitter with all safety

equipment in place and all controls properly

adjusted for safe operation.

Always operate the log splitter at

manufacturer's recommended speed.

Always keep hands and feet clear of moving

parts.

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 unless

the ram has been full extended and a

second log is needed to complete the

separation of the first log.

On ram-type log splitters on which the logs

are not cut square, the longest portion of the

log should be rotated down and the most

square end placed against the ram.

Use only your hand to operate the log

splitter controls.

Do not refuel the engine until it has cooled

for several minutes.

Before starting engine ensure that control

lever is in neutral position.

Operate unit only when there is sufficient

light to clearly see work area.

NEVER allow children to operate or play on

or near unit.

Operate unit only when standing in operator

zone. Unit stabilizers must be extended

before starting unit.

Use wheel chocks to prevent movement of

unit during operation.

ALWAYS keep hands away from all moving

parts during operation. Moving parts can cut

or crush body parts.

DO NOT operate in the rain or in wet or

damp locations. Assure that operator zone is

free or debris and provides good footing.

Know the weight of logs. Limit logs to those

you can safely control and the unit can

safely handle.

Logs should be cut with square ends before

placing on splitter.

Position logs against end plate grips before

operating hydraulic cylinder.

On logs that are not square place the

longest portion of the log closest to the

beam and the most square end against the

splitter wedge.

Do not attempt to stabilize logs with legs or

feet while operating. Moving parts can cut off

or crush body parts.

Split logs end to end in the direction of the

grain, not against the grain.

Keep fingers and hands away from cracks in

logs while splitting. These can quickly close

and pinch or crush body parts.

Maintenance and Storage

Always shut off the power source while

repairing or adjusting the splitter except as

recommended by the manufacturer.

Clean debris and chaff from engine cylinder,

cylinder head fins, blower housing rotating

screen, and muffler areas. If the engine is

equipped with a spark arrester muffler, clean

and inspect it regularly (follow

manufacturer's service instructions).

Replace, if damaged.
