SAFETY RULES
Safety Rules
ATTENTION! Become alert! Your safety is involved!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide
safe equipment can be wiped out by an operator’s single careless act. In addition to the design and configuration
of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgment, and
proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment. It has
been said “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of operator.
Training

SAFETY RULES
General Safety
• Never allow children or those lacking proper instructions and understanding to operate this log splitter.
• Never wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be caught by moving parts of the log splitter. Keep clothing and hair
away from all moving parts when operating this log splitter.
• Always keep the operator's manual in the storage tube 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.

SAFETY RULES
Operation of the Log Splitter
Only one operator may operate the log splitter from the operator zone as shown in the diagram. Keep all
bystanders and pets away. The operator has the safest and most efficient access to the control valve and the beam
in this location. Operating the log splitter in another location can result in serious injury or death.
• Never split a log heavier than 100 lbs in horizontal position.
• Never touch the log while wedge is engaged or moving.
• Always set up the log splitter in a clear, level area. Failure to do so can result in instability of the log splitter.
• 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 strokes 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 split more than one log at a time.
• Never try to split a log across the grain.
• Never attempt to load the log splitter when the ram or wedge is in motion.
• Never use your foot, a rope, or any extension device to operate the control lever on the valve. Only use hand.
• Never move the log splitter while the engine is running. Shut off the engine if you are leaving the log splitter,
even for a short period of time.
• Never touch the muffler and hot areas of the engine during operation. Wait until the engine cools down.

SAFETY RULES
General Repair
• Never alter your log splitter in any manner. Such alterations may cause your log splitter to be unsafe and will void
the warranty.
• Never tamper with the engine to run it at excessive speeds. The maximum engine speed is preset by the
manufacturer, and is set within safety limits. Running the engine at excessive speeds will void the warranty. Refer
to the engine owner’s manual for your particular log splitter.
• Never perform any service or repair on your log splitter without first removing the spark plug wire.
• Always replace all damaged or worn parts immediately.
• Always be sure that all replacement parts meet manufacturer’s specifications.
• Never operate your log splitter when it is in poor mechanical condition or in need of repair.
• Always perform all recommended maintenance procedures before using your log splitter.
• Always check the level of hydraulic oil and engine oil before operation.
• Always periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic fittings and hose clamps are tight.
Hydraulic 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.
Leaks can be safely detected by passing a piece of cardboard over the suspected leak and looking for dis-
coloration.
• Always seek professional medical attention immediately if injured by escaping hydraulic fluid. Serious infection or
reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
• Never remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log splitter is running. The tank could contain
hot oil under pressure which could result in serious injury.
• Never adjust the hydraulic valve. The pressure relief valve on your log splitter is preset at the factory. Only a
qualified service technician should perform this adjustment.
• Always be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the valve control handle back and
forth should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting.

SAFETY RULES
Fire Prevention
• Never operate your log splitter near a flame or spark, or smoke during operation. Hydraulic oil and gasoline are
flammable and can explode.
• Never fill the gas tank while the engine is hot or running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.
• Only refuel your log splitter in a clear, well ventilated area with no gas fumes or spilled gas.
• Always replace the gas cap securely.
• If gasoline has spilled, move the log splitter away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of
ignition until the spilled gas has evaporated.
• Always clean wood debris from the engine, muffler and beam.
• Always store gasoline in an approved, tightly sealed container and away from heating appliances. Store the
container in a cool, dry place.
• Always drain the fuel tank prior to storage to avoid the potential fire hazard.
Spark Arrester
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). In the state of California, a spark arrester is required by
law.
Other states have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. Always check the legal requirements in your
area.
If a spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in effective working order by the operator. A spark arrester
muffler is optional and available as an accessory at your nearest engine dealer.
As a precautionary measure against possible flying sparks, always take a Class B fire extinguisher with you when
operating this log splitter in dry areas.
