3.

Set to

Set log splitter into either the horizontal or vertical splitting position

 

horizontal or

The HORIZONTAL splitting position is used for lighter logs that can be easily loaded onto

 

vertical

the beam. The VERTICAL splitting position is used for light logs as well as heavy logs that

 

 

are difficult to load onto the beam.

 

 

Note:

 

 

Musculoskeletal injury can result from lifting logs onto the log splitter if proper lifting

 

 

techniques are not used or the logs are too heavy for a person’s size, weight, or

 

 

strength. In some cases, logs as small as 8” in diameter and 14” in length may be

 

 

heavier than what some persons should be repeatedly lifting onto the splitter.

 

 

The use of the vertical splitting position can greatly reduce the need to lift logs onto the

 

 

splitter. Employers are advised to consider NIOSH lifting guidelines when assigning

 

 

employees to log splitting tasks for an extended period of time.

 

 

WARNING: NEVER change splitting positions with the engine running. You

 

 

may contact the muffler and receive serious burns.
