SAFETY WARNINGS & INSTRUCTIONS
SYMBOL AFFIXED TO MACHINE
UNDERSTAND YOUR LOG SPLITTER
Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed to the log splitter. Learn its
application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards related to it.
DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND MEDICATION
Do not operate the log splitter while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication
that could affect your ability to use it properly.
AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
Put the log splitter on a 59-76 cm (23 in-30 in) high, stable, flat, and level work bench where
there is plenty of room for handling. Bolt the log splitter to the work surface if it tends to slip,
walk, or slide. Keep your work area clean and well lighted. A cluttered area invites injuries. Do
not use the log splitter in wet or damp areas or expose it to rain. Do not use it in areas where
fumes from paint, solvents or flammable liquids pose a potential hazard.
INSPECT YOUR LOG SPLITTER
Check your log splitter before turning it on. Keep guards in place and in working order. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool area before
turning it on. Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using it.
DRESS PROPERLY
Do not wear loose clothing, neck ties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches). They can get
caught in moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive gloves and non-skid footwear
are recommended when working. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair, preventing
it from getting caught in machinery.
PROTECT YOUR EYES AND FACE
Any log splitter may throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage.
Always wear safety goggles. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are
not safety glasses. Do not put the log splitter on the ground for operation. This is an awkward
operating position that the operator has to bring his face close to the machine, and thus risks
being struck by wood chips or debris.

EXTENSION CORDS
Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of the log splitter which
can result in overheating. Be sure extension cord is approved for this application. See
specifications. Be sure the extension cord is no longer than 10m (30 ft) to allow sufficient
current flow to the motor. Avoid use of free and inadequately insulated connections.
Connections must be made with protected material suitable for outdoor use.
AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with the power,
voltage and frequency of the motor. Check that there is a ground connection and a regulation differential switch upstream. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerator enclosures. Never open the pushbutton box on the motor. Should this
be necessary, contact a qualified electrician. Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug’s
metal prongs when plugging or unplugging the log splitter.
KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY
The log splitter must always be operated by one person only. Other people should keep a safe
distance from the work area, especially when the log splitter is in operation. Never have
another person help you with freeing a jammed log.
INSPECT LOG
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in logs to be split. The ends of the logs must
be cut square. Branches must be cut off flush with the trunk.
DO NOT OVERREACH
Floor must not be slippery. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Never stand on log splitter. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
Do not store items above or near the log splitter where anyone might use the log splitter to stand
on in order to reach the items.
AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT
Always pay full attention to the movement of the log pusher. Do not attempt to load the
log on until the log pusher has stopped. Keep hands out of the way of all moving parts.
PROTECT YOUR HANDS
Keep your hands away from splits and cracks which open in the log, as they may close
suddenly and can cause severe injury. Do not remove jammed logs with your hands.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL
Never try to split logs larger than those indicated in the specifications table. This could be dangerous and may damage the machine. Do not use log splitter for purposes in which it was not
intended.
NEVER LEAVE THE LOG SPLITTER RUNNING UNATTENDED
Do not leave log splitter unattended until it has come to a complete stop and is unplugged.
DISCONNECT POWER
Unplug when not in use, before making adjustments, changing parts, cleaning, or working on the
log splitter. Consult technical manual before servicing.
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
Take used oil to an authorized collection point or follow the stipulations in the country where the
log splitter is used. Do not discharge into drains, soil or water.
