H8170/H8171 Hydraulic/Electric Log Splitter
-7-
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE
THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE
SETTING ON THIS LOG SPLITTER.
Adjusting the pressure limit screw may cause
a hydraulic explosion and seriously injure the
operator and bystanders.
BE FAMILIAR WITH THE HAZARDS OF
HYDRAULIC INJECTION INJURIES. Leaking
hydraulic fluid may be under sufficient pressure
to penetrate skin. Hydraulic fluid injected into
skin is a medical emergency and may, if not
treated promptly, result in infection, disability,
or death.
NEVER USE HANDS TO CHECK FOR
HYDRAULIC LEAKS. Always wear gloves
when operating hydraulic equipment.
PROTECT EYES WHEN WORKING AROUND
HYDRAULIC EQUIPENT. Safety glasses may
not be sufficient to protect your eyes from hot
pressurized fluid. Stay away from leaks until the
system is depressurized.
STOP THE MACHINE IMMEDIATELY IF IT
LEAKS HYDRAULIC FLUID. Allowing the
machine to run with a leak significantly increas-
es the risk of injury.
NEVER FORCE HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT
TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE THAN IT IS
DESIGNED TO EXERT. Pushing hydraulic
equipment beyond the limitations of design can
easily damage hydraulic systems and increase
the risk of operator injury.
REGULARLY CHECK THE HYDRAULIC
FLUID LEVEL AND ADD FLUID WHEN
NEEDED.
Additional Safety Instructions for Hydraulic
Log Splitters
NEVER USE THE LOG SPLITTER FOR ANY
PURPOSE OTHER THAN SPLITTING WOOD.
NEVER ALLOW OTHERS TO ASSIST THE
OPERATOR IN LOADING OR SPLITTING
LOGS.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE LOG
SPLITTER AT ALL TIMES! IT IS NOT A TOY.
NEVER LEAVE THE SPLITTER UNATTENDED
AND ALWAYS STORE IT IN A LOCKED
LOCATION WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS
MANUAL TO RELEASE LOGS THAT BECOME
JAMMED ON THE SPLITTING HEAD. Be aware
that logs with high moisture content will be more
difficult to split and more likely to jam.
BE AWARE THAT LOGS WITH EXTENSIVE
KNOTTING MAY BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE
TO SPLIT. Making repeated attempts to split an
unsuitable log will increase wear on the splitter
and increase the risk of operator injury.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO SPLIT MORE THAN ONE
LOG AT A TIME. Doing so may cause logs to fly
off the splitter with great force, resulting in serious
injury or death.
NEVER USE ANY PART OF YOUR BODY TO
GUIDE OR STEADY A LOG WHEN THE RAM
IS MOVING. Failure to follow this instruction can
result in serious personal injury, including loss of
limbs.
