SAFETY AND/OR PROPERTY OF YOURSELF AND OTHilRS. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE AT
TEMPTING TO OPERATE YOUR LOG SPLIHER. FAILU iE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL IN
A
JURY. WHEN YOU SEE THIS SYMBOL-^HEED
ITS WARNING.
DANGER
Ai
Your log splitter was built to be operated iiccording to the rules for safe operation in this manual. As
with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious
injury. If you violate any of these rules, y lu may cause serious injury to yourself or others.
A
A
A
TRAINING
1. Before operating this splitter, read and understand this nanual
compietely. Become familiar with it for your own safety. To fail
to do so may cause serious injury. Do not aliow anyone to i ¡perate
your splitter who has not read this manual. Keep this mmual in
a safe place for future and regular reference and for o'dering
replacement parts.
2. Never use your splitter for any other purpose than splitting wood,
it is designed for this use and any other use may cause an injury.
Your log splitter is a precision piece of power equipmeni, not a
piaytoy. Therefore, excercise extreme caution at all timns.
3. Never allow children to operate your log splitter. Do not allov/ adults
to operate it without proper instruction. Only persons v^ell ac
quainted with these ruies of safe operation should be allowed to
use your log splitter.
4. Only the operator is to be near your log splitter during usn. Keep
all others, including pets and children, a minimum of 20 fent away
from your work zone. Flying wood can be hazardous. If £ helper
is assisting in loading logs, never activate the control until thi: helper
is clear of the area. More accidents occur when more tf an one
person operates the log splitter than at any other time.
5. No one should operate this unit while Intoxicated or whilt taking
medication that impairs the senses or reactions. A clear Tiind is
essential for safety. Never allow a person who is tired o other
wise not alert to use your splitter.
PREPARATION
Never wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be caught t y mov
ing parts of your log splitter and pull you into it. Keep i Nothing
away from all moving parts of your log splitter.
2. Wear proper head gear to keep hair away from movinii parts.
Always wear protective hearing devices as needed.
3. Always wear safety shoes. A dropped log can seriously inji ire your
foot.
4. Always wear safety glasses or goggles while operating yo ur split
ter. A piece of splitting log could fly off and hit your e/es.
5. If you wear gloves, be sure they are tight fitting without loo se cuffs
or draw strings.
6. Use your log splitter in daylight, or under good artificial light.
7. Never operate your splitter on slippery, wet, muddy or icy sur
faces. Safe footing is essential in preventing accidents. Never
operate your splitter while attached to a towing vehicle.
8. Only operate your splitter on level ground and not on the side of
a hill. It could tip, or rolling logs or poor footing could cause an
accident. Operating the splitter on level ground also prevents the
spillage of gasoline from the fuel tank.
9. Never attempt to move the log splitter over hilly or uneven terrain
without a tow vehicle or adequate help.
10. Always block the wheels to prevent mcwement of log splitter while
in operation.
11. Check the fuel before starting the engine. Gasoline is an extreme
ly flammable fuel. Do not fill the gasoline tank indoors, when the
engine is running, or while the engine is still hot. Replace gasoline
cap securely and wipe off any spilled gasoline before starting the
engine as it may cause a fire or explosion.
12. Both ends of each log must be cut as square as possible to help
prevent the log from riding out of the splitter during operation.
A
OPERATION
1. Stand behind the ram when operating. See illustration.
2. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls.
3. Never place hands or feet between log and splitting wedge or be
tween log and ram during forward or reverse stroke. To do so
may result In crushed or amputated fingers or toes, or worse, you
may lose an arm or foot.
4. Do not straddle the splitter when using it. A slip in any position
could result in a serious injury.
5. Do not step over your log splitter when the engine is running. You
may trip or accidentally activate the ram if you step over. If you
need to get to the other side, walk around.
6. Never try to split two logs on top of each other. One may fly out
and injure you.
7. When loading the log splitter, place your hands on the side of the
log, not at the ends. Never attempt to load your splitter while the
ram is in motion. You may get caught by the ram and injured.
8. Only use your hand to operate the ram or control lever. Never
use your foot or a rope or any other extension device. This could
result in your ability to stop your splitter quickly enough and cause
injury.
9. Always keep fingers away from any cracks that open in the log
during splitting operation. They can quickly close and pinch or
amputate your fingers.
10. Never attempt to split woods across the grain. Some types of wood
may burst or fly out of your splitter and result in injury to you
or a bystander.
11. For logs that are not cut square, the longest portion of the log
should be rotated down and the most square end placed against
the ram.
12. Keep your work area clean. Immediately remove split wood around
your splitter so that you do not stumble over it.
13. Never move the log splitter while the engine is running.
^ 14. Never leave your log splitter unattended with the engine running.
Shut off the engine if you are leaving your splitter, even for a short
period of time. Someone could accidentally activate the ram and
be injured.
15. Do not run engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust gases contain car
bon monoxide. This odorless gas can be deadly when inhaled.
16. Be careful not to touch the muffler after the engine has been run
ning as it is HOT.
17. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine
and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warn
ing of trouble.
18. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make certain all moving
parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the
wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.
3. Replace all damaged or worn parts such as hydraulic hoses and
fittings immediately with manufacturer approved replacement parts.
4. Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the
engine. This increases the hazard of personal injury. The max
imum engine speed is preset by the manufacturer and is within
safety limits.
5. Do not alter your splitter in any manner such as attaching a rope
or extension to the control lever or adding to the width or height
of the wedge. Such alterations may cause your splitter to be unsafe.
6. Perform all recommended maintenance procedures before you use
your splitter.
7. Do not service or repair your log splitter without disconnecting
the spark plug wire.
8. Never store the equipment with gasoline in the tank inside of a
building where ignition sources are present, such as hot water
and space heaters, clothes dryers and the like. Allow the engine
to cool before storing in any enclosure.
9. Always store gasoline in an approved, tightly sealed container.
Store the container in a cool, dry place. Do not store in a building
where ignition sources are present.
10. To reduce fire hazard, keep engine free of grass, leaves, wood
chips, and excessive grease and oil.
11. The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspec
tion, along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace frayed,
kinked, or otherwise damaged hydraulic components.
12. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Do
not check for leaks with your hand. Escaping fluid under pressure
can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious per
sonal injury. Leaks can be located by passing a piece of card
board or wood over the suspected leak and looking for
discoloration.
13. Shouid it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic
fitting or line, be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the
engine and moving the control handle back and forth several times.
14. Do not remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while
your log splitter is running. Hot oil under pressure could cause
injury.
15. The pressure relief valve on your splitter is preset at the factory.
Do not adjust the valve. Only a qualified service technician should
perform this adjustment.
16. Completely drain fuel tank prior to storage. This guards against
accumulation of fuel fumes which could result in a fire hazard.
17. Never store log splitter outside without a waterproof cover. Rain
will cause rust on the inside of the cylinder.
A
MAINTENANCE
1. Do not operate your splitter in poor mechanical condition or when
in need of repair.
2. Periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hose clamps and
hydraulic fittings are tight to be sure equipment is in safe working
condition. Where appropriate, check all safety guards and shields
to be sure they are in the proper position. Never operate your split
ter with safety guards, shields or other protective features removed.
These safety devices are for your protection.
NOTE: This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered
or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If
a spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in effective working order by the operator.
In the State of California the above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar
laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. A spark arrester for the muffler is available through your nearest engine authorized service dealer.
