GENERAL SAFETY ALWAYS keep the operator’s manual nearby for reference. Reread the manual periodically. ALWAYS keep all bystanders and pets a minimum of 10 feet away from your work area when operating this log splitter. Only the operator is to be near the log splitter during use. NEVER allow adults lacking proper instructions and understanding to operate this log splitter. NEVER actuate the control until all people are clear of the work area.
ALWAYS block the wheels to prevent movement of the log splitter while in operation. KNOW how to stop the log splitter and disengage the controls before operating it. NEVER place hands or feet between the log and splitting wedge during forward or reverse stroke as this could result in serious injury or death. NEVER straddle or step over the log splitter during operation. NEVER reach or bend over the log splitter to pick up a log. NEVER try to split two logs on top of each other.
MAINTENANCE & SAFETY The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components. NEVER check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing SERIOUS INJURY or even DEATH.

This log splitter is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any).
