gloves and steel-toe work boots during use.
5. Keep clear of moving parts and log during operation. Crushing hazard.
6. Do not split wood containing foreign objects (nails, for example).
7. Do not use Splitter on logs longer than 520mm or with a diameter greater than
300mm.
8. Hold the rounded, bark side of logs when loading or positioning, never the ends.
Do not place hands or any body parts between a log and any part of the Log Splitter.
9. Do not load or unload logs while the splitter wedge is moving.
10. Do not split logs across the grain. Doing so will damage the Log Splitter and
