THE WOOD SPLITTER MUST BE OPERATED SAFELY TO PREVENT OR MINIMIZE THE RISK OF MINOR OR MODERATE INJURY. UNSAFE OPERATION CAN CREATE A NUMBER OF HAZARDS FOR YOU. ALWAYS TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING THIS WOOD SPLITTER:

•KEEP IN MIND THAT THE OPERATOR OR USER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS OR HAZARDS OCCURRING TO OTHER PEOPLE, THEIR PROPERTY, AND THEMSELVES.

•WEAR LONG PANTS WHILE SPLITTING WOOD.

•ALWAYS CUT THE ENDS OF THE LOG YOU ARE SPLITTING AS SQUARELY AS POSSIBLE.

•NEVER SPLIT MORE THAN ONE LOG AT A TIME UNLESS THE RAM HAS BEEN FULLY EXTENDED AND A SECOND LOG IS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE SPLIT OF THE FIRST LOG.

•NEVER PUT ANYTHING BETWEEN THE LOG GUIDING PLATES AND THE SIDE OF A LOG; LOGS SPREAD AS THEY ARE FORCED AGAINST THE WEDGE.

•NEVER OPERATE THE RAM IN A STALLED POSITION FOR MORE THAN 5 SECONDS. THE HYDRAULIC FLUID MAY OVERHEAT AND DAMAGE THE MACHINE. IF THE WOOD BEING SPLIT IS EXCESSIVELY HARD, STOP THE MACHINE, ROTATE THE LOG 90° AND TRY AGAIN. IF YOU STILL CANNOT SPLIT

THE LOG, REJECT THE LOG AS IT EXCEEDS THE CAPACITY OF THE MACHINE.

•NEVER LEAVE THE WOOD SPLITTER UNATTENDED. IF YOU LEAVE THE AREA, UNPLUG THE POWER SOURCE.

•CLEAN UP AS YOU WORK; ACCUMULATED SPLIT WOOD AND WOOD CHIPS CAN CREATE A HAZARDOUS WORK ENVIRONMENT.

•ALWAYS CHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF MOVING PARTS AND FOR DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS.

•KEEP ALL NUTS AND BOLTS TIGHT AND KEEP THE EQUIPMENT AND ATTACHMENTS IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION.

•ALWAYS CHECK THE POWER CABLE FOR DAMAGE PRIOR TO EVERY USE AND THAT IT IS FULLY PROTECTED FROM DAMAGE FROM THE EQUIPMENT OR MATERIALS WHILE OPERATING THE MACHINE.

•SEE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER OPERATION AND INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES. ONLY USE ACCESSORIES APPROVED BY COUNTRY HOME PRODUCTS, INC.

•NO LIST OF WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS CAN BE ALL-INCLUSIVE. IF SITUATIONS OCCUR THAT ARE NOT COVERED BY THIS MANUAL, THE OPERATOR MUST APPLY COMMON SENSE AND OPERATE THIS WOOD SPLITTER IN A SAFE MANNER. CALL 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) FOR ASSISTANCE.
