9 the log splitter must always be operated by one person only. other people must keep a safe distance from the log splitter especially

when it is in operation.
9 ensure that there are no nails, screws or other foreign objects in logs to be split.
9 the end of logs should be cut square.
9 Always pay attention to the movement of the log pusher.

8 Do not attempt to load a log until the log pusher has returned to the stop position.
8 Do not allow another person to help you with a jammed log, for use by 1 person only.
