PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with
product (gained from repeated use) replace strict
adherence to the tool safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal
injury.
HYDRAULIC PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! Seek immediate medical attention if
hydraulic fluid under pressure penetrates your skin.
See Injection Injury precautions for instructions before
using a pressurized hydraulic system.
INJECTION INJURY
DANGER! Seek immediate, professional medical
treatment if fluid penetrates your skin. It may feel like
a pricking or sting. Do not wait for the appearance of
symptoms. A toxic reaction can occur from the
exposure. Delay in treatment can lead to amputation
or death.
INJECTION PRECAUTIONS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Do not touch or handle a live tool with any
part of your body that is wet or damp. Wet skin
reduces resistance to electrical current, increasing
the danger of a serious or fatal shock.
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain
that the plug is connected to a properly grounded
receptacle.
WARNING! All wiring should be performed by a
qualified electrician.

OPERATION
CAUTION! Do not force the log splitter to split hard
wood for more than 5 seconds. This may damage the
tool. Rotate the log 90 degrees and attempt again.
Discard the log if unable to split, as it exceeds this
tool’s splitting force capacity.
CAUTION! The wheels are designed for repositioning
or moving the log splitter a short distance by hand.
Towing the log splitter behind a vehicle will damage
the unit and may pose a hazard to bystanders.
FREEING A JAMMED LOG
WARNING! Do not attempt to remove a jammed log
with your hands or with hammer blows. The wood is
under pressure and could separate and launch without
warning, causing an injury to you or a bystander.
