unintentionally contacted. Do not store
anything above or near the log splitter
where anyone might stand on the tool
to reach them.
Never attempt to split logs containing
nails, wire or debris. Always make sure
that both ends of the log you are splitting
are cut as square as possible. This will
prevent the log from sliding out of
position while under pressure. Branches
must be cut off flush with the trunk.
Allow only one person to load and
operate the log splitter. Alway skeep
bystanders, including visitors, children
and pets away from the work area,
especially when the log splitter is under
