Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe off any spilled gasoline before starting the engine as it may cause a fire or explosion.

Both ends of each log must be cut as square as possible to help prevent the log from riding out of the splitter during operation.

You may trip or accidentally activate the splittingwedge if you step over. If you need to get to the other side, walk around. Never try to splittwo logs on top of each other. One may fly out and injure you.

When loading the log splitter, place your hands on the side of the log, not at the ends. Never attempt to load your splitter while the splitting wedge is in motion. You may get caught by the wedge and injured.

Only use your hand to operate the splitting wedge or control lever. Never use your foot or a rope or any other extension device. This could result in your inability to stop your splitter quickly enough to avoid injury.

Always keep fingers away from any cracks that open in the log during splitting operation. They can quickly close and pinch or amputate your fingers.

Never attempt to split woods across the grain. Some types of wood may burst or fly out of your splitter and result in injury to you or a bystander.
