SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • NEVER operate or allow someone to operate this equipment while under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication. Being coherent is essential for safety. • NEVER use splitter for any other purpose than splitting wood. Any other use can result in injury. Your splitter is a precision piece of power equipment, not a toy. Therefore, exercise extreme caution at all times. • ONLY a single operator is to load and operate the log splitter.
TOWING SAFETY • Be sure support leg is in the travel position and coupling secure. This must also be retracted so it does not interfere while towing. Retract support leg by removing pin, pivoting up, and replacing pin. • Never exceed 45 MPH while towing your splitter. Be extra cautious when traveling over rough terrain, especially over railroad tracks. • Always be careful while backing your splitter. You could jackknife your log splitter if not careful.
When using the Log Splitter in the vertical position, make sure the beam latch is engaged as shown on page 6. Pull the bent pin outward then twist and release it to hold the I-beam in place. ASSEMBLY This log splitter has been mostly assembled at the factory. Refer to uncrating and assembly instructions to complete the final assembly step. Refer to the drawings and part lists should it become necessary to disassemble the unit for repair or replacement of parts. Inspect all components for damage.
OPERATION SPLITTER OPERATION 1. 2. 3. Set up the log splitter in a clear, level area and block the wheels. Place a log on the beam, against the foot plate. Make sure the log is securely on the foot plate and up against the beam. Depress the valve lever so that the cylinder will drive the wedge into the log. Extend the cylinder until the log splits or to the end of its stroke. If the log has not completely split after the cylinder has reached the end of its extension, retract the cylinder.

SWISHER HISTORY Back before electricity came to rural Missouri Max Swisher was producing lawn mowers from his mother’s chicken house. Max never liked to mow grass. He installed a gearbox on his family’s lawn mower creating a self-propelled unit. By tying one end of a rope to the mower and the other end to a tree in the center of the yard the mower circled the tree, shortening the rope and guiding the mower in concentric circles. Max enjoyed relaxing under a shade tree while his invention did all the work.
