SAFETY WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
SAFETY WARNINGS & INSTRUCTIONS
• UNDERSTAND YOUR LOG SPLITTER
Read and understand the owner's manual and labels affixed to the
log splitter. Learn its application and limitations as well as the potential
hazards specific to it.
• DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND MEDICATION
Do not operate the log splitter while under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or any medication that could affect your ability to use it properly.
• AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
If not using the stand, put the log splitter on a 60 to 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 or slide.
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
Do not use the log splitter in wet or damp areas or expose it to rain.
Do not use it in areas where fumes from paint, solvents or flammable
liquids pose a potential hazard.
• INSPECT YOUR LOG SPLITTER
Check your log splitter before turning it on. Keep guards in place and
in working order. Always check 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.
• DRESS PROPERLY
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewellery (rings,
wrist watches). They can become caught in moving parts.
Protective electrically non-conductive gloves and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working. Wear a protective hair covering to prevent
long hair from getting caught in the logsplitter.
• PROTECT YOUR EYES AND FACE
Any log splitter may propel debris at 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.
