SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Using this poweful tool may create special hazards.

Take particular care to safeguard yourself and those around you.

Hydraulic systems. Never operate this tool if there is a hazard presented by hydraulic fluid. Before using the Log Splitter, check for hydraulic leaks. Be sure the tool and your work area are clean and free of oil spills. Hydraulic fluid can create hazards, causing you to slip and fall, your hands to slip while using the machine, or fire hazard.

Electrical Safety. Never operate this tool if there is an electrical hazard. Never operate an electrical tool in wet conditions. Never operate this tool with an improper electrical cord or extension cord. Never operate this tool unless you are plugged into a properly grounded outlet, which supplies 110-120Volts, and is protected by a 30 Amp circuit breaker.

Physical Hazards. Log Splitting creates special physical hazards. Never operate this tool unless you are wearing proper safety gloves, hard-toed shoes, long pants and a shirt with sleeves and ANSI-approved eye protection. Be careful of the splinters that will be produced, to avoid puncture injury and potential jamming of the tool. Never try to split logs which are too large or small to fit properly within the tool. Never attempt to split logs containing nails, wire or other debris. Clean up as you work; accumulated split wood and wood chips can create a hazardous work environment. Never continue to work in a cluttered work area which may cause you to slip, trip or fall. Keep onlookers away from this tool, and never allow unauthorized persons to operate this tool.
