Put the log splitter on a 60 - 75 cm high, stable, flat, and level work
bench where there is plenty of room for handling, and help the operator
stay alert. Bolt the log splitter to the work surface if it tends to slip,
walk, or slide.

liquids pose a potential hazard.

Check your log splitter before turning it on. Keep guards in place and
in working order. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool area before turning it on. Replace
damaged, missing or failed parts before using it.

wrist watches). They can be caught in moving parts.
Protecive electrically non-conductive gloves and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working. wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair, preventing it from getting caught in machinery.
• PROTECT YOUR EYES AND FACE
Any log splitter may throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can
cause permanent eye damage. Always wear safety goggles.
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses. They are not
safety glasses.
Do not put the log splitter on the ground for operations. This is an
awkward operating position that the operator has to bring his face close
to the machine, and thus the risks being struck by wood chips or debris.
