Log Splittering
NOTICE
All logs should be no longer than 24".
WARNING
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.
Do not reach or step across the rail while the Log Splitter is running. This is a very UNSAFE
method which could cause personal injury, even death.
Do not reach forward and attempt to catch the split wood As the log is being split - let it fall
to the ground.
CAUTION
Never attempt to split wood across the grain. The Log Splitter was not designed for
cross-grain splitting. Doing so could damage the Log Splitter and may cause personal injury.
Make sure both ends of the log that you are splitting are cut as square as possible. This will
prevent the log from sliding out of position when under pressure
