DANGER
Carbon Monoxide is a poisonous gas. Using an engine indoors can kill you in minutes. Engine exhaust contains
high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. You may be breathing CO even
if you do not smell engine exhaust.
WARNING
The log splitter is capable of amputating or crushing hands and fingers. Read and follow all warnings and safety
instructions on the log splitter and in this manual. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death to you or
bystanders.
WARNING
In order to prevent accidental starting when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs, always
disconnect spark plug wire and place wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.
CAUTION
Muffler and other engine and hydraulic system components become extremely hot during operation and
remain hot after engine has stopped. To avoid severe burns on contact, stay away from these areas.
