•Check the log before splitting. It should be free from nails or wire that may fly out during splitting operation. This could cause personal injury or damage to the machine. The ends of the log should be cut as squarely as possible.

•Never attempt to split more than one log at a time, unless the ram is fully extended, and you need the second log to complete the split of the first log.

•Do not attempt to load the log while the ram of the log splitter is in motion. You could get trapped and injured.

•Keep your hands and body parts away from the open splits and cracks in the log. The wood can close in suddenly and cause injury.
