5. Load log

Load log onto beam with a cut end against the endplate – positioned for a lengthwise cut.

Notes:

a)The log splitter is designed only for cutting lengthwise with the grain, NOT for cutting across the grain.

b)This log splitter is designed for cutting logs only up to a maximum of 24” long. Larger diameter logs could get stuck on the wedge and longer logs will not fit on the beam.

Correct Log Orientation

Incorrect Log Orientation

WARNING: ALWAYS keep hands and feet away from the endplate, wedge, and partially split logs while loading, operating and unloading the log splitter.

Important safety instructions:

Hold bark side. Hold the bark side of logs when loading or positioning, never the ends. Never place your hands or any part of your body between a log and any part of the log splitter.

NOTE for vertical position loading: Place the log on the endplate and turn it until it leans against the beam and is stable. If the log is too big or oddly shaped, stabilize the log with wooden shims between the log and endplate or ground. DO NOT use your leg or knee to stabilize the log. NEVER stabilize the log by placing your hand on top of the log.

Wedge moving. NEVER load or unload logs while the wedge is moving.

Straddling / reaching across. Never straddle, reach across, or step over the beam while the engine is running and the log splitter is in the horizontal position. You could trip, actuate the controls, and get seriously injured.

Unsplit log pile. Do not pile logs to be split in a place that will make you reach across the log splitter in order to load them.

Square log ends. Logs that are not cut square can slide out while splitting and become a safety hazard or cause excessive force to log splitter components. Use a chainsaw to cut logs square on each end before attempting to split them.

Single log. Never attempt to split more than one log at a time. Pieces of log can unexpectedly be thrown from the machine causing serious injury.

Split along grain. Do not use the log splitter to split logs across the grain. Doing so will damage the log splitter and could also cause pieces of log to be thrown, injuring the operator or bystanders.

Changing splitting position. Do not change splitting positions (horizontal/vertical) with the engine running. You may contact the muffler and receive serious burns. Be careful to avoid contact with hot muffler even after the engine is turned off.
