• Remove partially split wood from wedge.
1)
If the log is clipped or jammed on the wedge, release the control handle and shut off the engine immediately.
Gently knock off the log with a hammer or mallet (not with your hands).
WARNING! Never remove partially split wood from the wedge with your hands. Fingers may become
trapped between the split wood.
2) Once removed from the wedge, split the wood from the opposite end or in another location.
• Shut off the engine after splitting and relieve hydraulic system pressure by cycling the valve control lever from forward
to reverse several times. Leave the handle to neutral before storage or maintenance.
NOTES
1. ALWAYS operate your log splitter in daylight or under good artificial light.
2. ALWAYS keep the work area clean. Remove split wood from around the log splitter immediately so that you don’t
stumble over it.
3. DO NOT allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to
inflict serious injury.
4. ONLY a single operator is allowed to load and operate this log splitter. Keep bystanders, pets, and children at least 25
feet from the machine while it is in operation.
5. ALWAYS use your hand to operate the control lever on the valve. NEVER use your foot, a rope or any extension
device.
6. NEVER place hands or feet body between the moving wedge and end plates. Failure to do so may result in crushed or
amputated fingers, toes, hand, or foot.
7. NEVER try to cross split a log.
8. NEVER try to split two logs on top of each other.
9. NEVER attempt to load your log splitter when the ram is in motion.
10. NEVER reach crossly and attempt to catch a falling split wood — let it fall.
11. NEVER leave this machine unattended with the engine running.
12. NEVER operate your log splitter when it is in poor mechanical condition or in need of repair.
13. DO NOT force the tool. It is designed to operate within its maximum speed and tonnage. Release the handle
immediately if you experience extremely hard wood to avoid permanent damage which will void warranty.
14. NEVER touch the muffler and other hot areas of the engine during operation. Wait until the engine cools down.
15. NEVER tamper with the engine to run it at excessive speeds. The maximum engine speed is preset by the
manufacturer and is within safety limits. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for your particular log splitter.
