Do not put any part of yourself, your clothing, or your personal protective equipment into a crack in a log that is being split; it might close suddenly with great force.

Never split anything other than logs free of nails, wires and branches. Maximum log length is 20" with a maximum diameter of 10" for the DR 4 -Ton WOOD SPLITTER.

Note: The log diameter does not necessarily indicate the difficulty of the split. A small diameter log can be difficult to split if it has knots or its fiber is very tough, whereas a larger log can be split easily if its fiber is smooth and loose.

Always cut the ends of the log to be split 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.

Do not handle logs by their ends when you position them on the wood splitter.

Do not 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 the log still cannot be split, reject the log as it exceeds the capacity of the machine.

Do not move or reposition the wood splitter with its motor running. Don't hurry or take things for granted while using the wood splitter.

Never team up with another person to operate the wood splitter controls – this is a one person job.

Never allow people who are unfamiliar with these instructions to use the wood splitter.

Never leave the wood splitter unattended. If you leave the area, unplug the power source.

Do not operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol or medication. Always make certain nuts and bolts are tight to assure a safe working 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.

Clean up as you work; accumulated split wood and wood chips can create a hazardous work environment.

Note: No list of warnings and cautions can be all-inclusive. The operator must apply common sense and operate this wood splitter in a safe manner.
