Splitting Safety

The DR 4 -Ton WOOD SPLITTER has a ram with 4 tons of force.

Note: Always be sure to stand inside the Operator Zone to run the wood splitter (Figure 6). This is the area directly behind your DR 4 -Ton WOOD SPLITTER. Never operate the wood splitter from anyplace 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 (Figure 6) with butt end toward hydraulic cylinder ram.

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 and ram.

Keep hands and fingers clear at all times. Many wood splitting accidents happen on the return portion of the stroke.
