Safety – Before Use

Read/instruct

●Read manual. Do not allow anyone to operate the log splitter who has not read the owner’s manual or has not been instructed on the safe use of the splitter.

●Review safety rules. Before staring this log splitter, review the “Rules for Safe operation.” Failure to follow these rules may result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

●Know how to stop. Be thoroughly familiar with all controls and proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the splitter and relieve system pressures quickly if needed.

Personal protective equipment

●Eye protection. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating the machine. Pieces of log may fly out and serious eye injury can occur.

●Boots. Falling logs can crush feet. Always wear safety shoes or heavy boots when operating or helping to load logs.

●Loose/dangling. Loose or dangling apparel can become entangled in moving parts. Never wear jewelry or loose- fitting clothing.

●Gloves. Wear snug fitting gloves without draw strings or loose cuffs.

●Hearing Protection. The use of ear plugs or other hearing protection device is recommended.

Safety During Inspection/Maintenance

Always inspect your log splitter before each use, and repair as needed, to keep it in safe working condition:

●Engine off. Always make sure the engine is off before cleaning, repairing or adjusting the splitter, except as recommended by the manufacturer.

●Engine debris. Debris on a hot engine can be a fire hazard. With the engine off, clean debris and chaff from engine cylinder head, cylinder head fins, blower housing rotating screen, and muffler areas. Avoid contact with hot muffler.

●Other debris. Debris on moving parts can cause excess wear. With the splitter engine off, clear debris from moving parts.

●Fuel tank / lines. Before each use, check fuel tank and fuel lines for leaks. Any fuel leak is a fire hazard. Fix any fuel leaks before starting engine.

●Mechanical parts. Check to be sure all nuts and bolts are tight to make sure the log splitter is in safe working condition.

Hydraulic system. Check the hydraulic system (hoses, tubing, clamps/fittings, pump, and cylinder) carefully before each use. Do not operate the log splitter with frayed, kinked, cracked or damaged hydraulic hoses, fittings, or tubing, or if oily residue is observed on any of the components. High fluid pressures and temperatures are developed in the log splitter. Hydraulic fluid escaping through a pin hole sized opening can burn or puncture skin, resulting in wounds
