12.Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in. Plugging in the splitter with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.

13.Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the splitter on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

14.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the splitter in unexpected situations.

15.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

16.Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

17.Do not force the splitter. Use the correct splitter for your application. The correct splitter will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

18.Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

19.Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the splitter. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

20.Store idle splitter out of reach of children and other untrained persons. The splitter is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

21.Maintain splitter with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained splitter with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged splitter. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.

22.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the splitter’s operation. If damaged, have the splitter serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
