Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained operators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only allow trained/supervised people to use this machine. When machine is not being used, disconnect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially around children. Make your workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental alertness is required for safe operation of machinery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live electrical components or improperly grounded machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and always disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. nect machine from power supply BEFORE making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

Always discon-

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool for its intended purpose—do not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or any condition that could affect safe operation. Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting cord-connected machines from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord may damage the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you experience difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

Additional Safety for Log Splitters

Serious crushing injury can occur from getting hands or fingers caught between logs and hydraulic ram/splitting wedge during operation. Pieces of logs can be ejected by log splitter and strike operator or bystanders, resulting in impact injury, eye injury, or blindness. Death can result from getting accidentally injected with hydraulic fluid. To minimize risk of injury, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.

SUPPORTING LOGS. Never use hands or any

part of your body to support a log when activating hydraulic ram. Avoid getting hands or fingers caught between logs and hydraulic ram and splitting wedge. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious crushing injuries.

CORRECT USAGE. Never split wood across grain, or use log splitter to split concrete blocks or rocks, or to bend metal. Never attempt to split more than one log at a time. Doing so may cause logs to fly off log splitter with great force, resulting in serious impact injuries.

WORKPIECE SELECTION. Logs with extensive knotting may be difficult or impossible to split. Making repeated attempts to split an unsuitable log will increase risk of operator or bystanders getting hit by ejected pieces of logs.

PROTECTING CHILDREN. Keep children away from log splitter at all times! It is not a toy. Never allow any child to climb or ride on log splitter.

MACHINE LOCATION. Always use log splitter on a level and stable surface, and block wheels to prevent rolling. NEVER leave log splitter unattended and always store it in a locked location.

FLUID INJECTION. Fluid pressures developed from this machine may be high enough to penetrate your skin and enter your bloodstream. Hydraulic fluid injected into your bloodstream is a medical emergency. If not treated immediately, this blood poisoning could result in an aggressive infection, amputation, or death. Keep body parts away from any high-pressure hydraulic leak.

TROUBLESHOOTING. If you suspect a hydraulic leak, DO NOT use your hands or fingers to locate it. Instead, keep your skin at least 12" away from potential leaking areas and move a strip of cardboard to where leak may exist and watch to see if hydraulic oil is sprayed onto cardboard. Some high-pressure streams can be almost invisible to the naked eye.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

Model T28192 (Mfd. Since 04/18)

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
