NEVER attempt to load your log splitter when the ram is in motion. You may get caught by the ram and injured.
ONLY use your hand to operate the control lever. Never use your foot or a rope or any other extension device. This could result in your inability to
stop your log splitter quickly and cause an injury.

NEVER leave your log splitter unattended with the engine running. Shut off the engine if you are leaving your log splitter even for a short period of
time. Someone could accidentally activate the ram and be injured.
DON’T run the engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide. This odorless gas can be deadly when inhaled.
G. OPERATE IN SAFE ENVIRONMENT AND ON SAFE GROUND
NEVER operate your log splitter on slippery, wet, muddy or icy surfaces. Safe footing is essential in preventing accidents.
ONLY operate your log splitter on level ground and not on a side hill. It could tip over or rolling logs or poor footing could cause an accident.
(This also prevents the spillage of gas from the tank).

H. REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY
DON’T operate your log splitter in poor mechanical condition or when in need of repair.
PERIODICALLY check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tightened.
DON’T alter your log splitter in any manner such as attaching a rope or extension to the control lever or adding to the width or height of the wedge
unless approved by the manufacturer. Such alterations may cause your log splitter to be unsafe.
PERFORM all recommended maintenance procedures before you use your log splitter.
REPLACE all damaged or worn parts such as hydraulic hoses and fittings immediately.
NEVER tamper with the engine to run it at excessive speeds. This increases the hazard of personal injury. The maximum engine speed is preset by
the manufacturer and is within safety limits.
DON’T service or repair your log splitter without removing the spark plug wire.
ALL replacement parts must meet manufacturer’s specifications.
I. TOWING SAFETY
OBEY all state and local regulations when towing on public roads and highways.
BEFORE towing, be certain that the log splitter is correctly and securely attached to the towing vehicle and that a safety chain is in place. Leave
slack in chains for turning allowance.
DON’T allow anyone to sit or ride on your log splitter. They can easily fall off and be seriously injured.
BEFORE using your log splitter, disconnect it from the towing vehicle. A log can easily be pushed forward onto the vehicle.
NEVER carry any cargo or wood on your log splitter. It may fall off and endanger vehicles that are following you.
