Wooden pieces produced during splitting
may fall down and injure legs of the operator.
When splitting wood, parts of body may be

There is a risk of branchy wood getting stuck
when being split. Please be advised that wood
being separated is under heavy pressure and
your ngers may get squeezed in the gap.
Caution!
Pieces of wood cut at the right angle to be split
