DR
4 -Ton WOOD SPLITTER Safety & Operating Instructions 13
Splitting Safety
The DR 4 -Ton WOOD SPLITTER has a ram with 4 tons of force.
Note: Always be sure to stand inside the Operator Zone to run the wood splitter
(Figure 6). This is the area directly behind your DR 4 -Ton WOOD SPLITTER.
Never operate the wood splitter from anyplace else.
Handle logs only from the sides, never by the ends.
For best splitting results, place log flat on the beam
between the Log Guides (Figure 6) with butt end
toward hydraulic cylinder ram.
Never attempt to split a log at an angle and be sure
the wedge and ram will contact the log squarely on
the ends.
Be very careful to keep arms and fingers away from
the wedge and ram.
Keep hands and fingers clear at all times. Many wood splitting accidents happen on
the return portion of the stroke.
Do not put any part of your body within the splitting area. Use a stick if you need
to remove debris from the splitting area (Figure 7).
