Splitting Safety

The DR 6 -TON ELECTRIC WOOD SPLITTER has a Ram with 6 tons of force.

•ALWAYS BE SURE TO STAND INSIDE THE OPERATOR ZONE WHEN OPERATING THE WOOD SPLITTER (FIGURE 11). THIS IS THE AREA DIRECTLY BEHIND YOUR DR 6 -TON ELECTRIC WOOD SPLITTER. NEVER OPERATE THE WOOD SPLITTER FROM ANYWHERE ELSE.

•HANDLE LOGS ONLY FROM THE SIDES, NEVER BY THE ENDS.

•FOR BEST SPLITTING RESULTS, PLACE LOG FLAT ON THE BEAM BETWEEN THE LOG GUIDES WITH BUTT END AGAINST THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WEDGE (FIGURE 11).

•NEVER ATTEMPT TO SPLIT A LOG AT AN ANGLE AND BE SURE THE WEDGE AND RAM WILL CONTACT THE LOG SQUARELY ON THE ENDS.

•BE VERY CAREFUL TO KEEP ARMS AND FINGERS AWAY FROM THE WEDGE, RAM, AND SPLITTING AREA.

•KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS CLEAR AT ALL TIMES. MANY WOOD SPLITTING ACCIDENTS HAPPEN ON THE RETURN PORTION OF THE STROKE.

•DO NOT PUT ANY PART OF YOUR BODY WITHIN THE SPLITTING AREA. USE A STICK IF YOU NEED TO REMOVE DEBRIS FROM THE SPLITTING AREA (FIGURE 11).
