CAUTION

Do not place your hands on the ends of the log when

loading the log splitter. This is a very UNSAFE method

and could result in injury to your hands.

• Only use your hand to push the control lever forward

(towards the log). If the log moves before it is contacted by

the splitting wedge, do not touch it while the wedge is

moving. Release the control lever, then reposition the log.

• Operate the log splitter only when standing in the safe

operating zone by the control lever (Figure 13).

splitting wedge.
