SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Using this poweful tool may create special hazards.
Take particular care to safeguard yourself and those around you.
Hydraulic systems.
Never operate this tool if there is a hazard presented by hydraulic
fluid.
Before using the Log Splitter, check for hydraulic leaks. Be sure the tool and your
work area are clean and free of oil spills. Hydraulic fluid can create hazards, causing you to
slip and fall, your hands to slip while using the machine, or fire hazard.
Electrical Safety.
Never operate this tool if there is an electrical hazard.
Never operate
an electrical tool in wet conditions. Never operate this tool with an improper electrical cord
or extension cord. Never operate this tool unless you are plugged into a properly grounded
outlet, which supplies 110-120Volts, and is protected by a 30 Amp circuit breaker.
Physical Hazards.
Log Splitting creates special physical hazards. Never operate this
tool unless you are wearing proper safety gloves, hard-toed shoes, long pants and a shirt
with sleeves and ANSI-approved eye protection. Be careful of the splinters that will be
produced, to avoid puncture injury and potential jamming of the tool. Never try to split logs
which are too large or small to fit properly within the tool. Never attempt to split logs containing
nails, wire or other debris. Clean up as you work; accumulated split wood and wood chips
can create a hazardous work environment. Never continue to work in a cluttered work area
which may cause you to slip, trip or fall. Keep onlookers away from this tool, and never
allow unauthorized persons to operate this tool.
