Before towing the log splitter the tires need to be fully inflated.
Refer to the vehicle owner's manual for proper safety and towing instructions.
The log splitter must (except from the operator) have at least 5 m of clearance to
people or animals. It needs to be on a dry and level surface with good footing. Do not
work on mud, ice, brush or snow. When using the log splitter, the work zone must
always be maintained.
NOTE: Serious accidents can happen when other people are allowed inside the
work zone. Keep everyone else outside the work zone while operating the
control lever.
Always keep your feet away from the splitting plate. The feet must always be kept
within the WORK ZONE while working with the log splitter. Never kick wood that is
standing on the splitting plate, while holding the handles and the wedge runs down.
This can result in jam and serious injury. Always release both handles before the feet
leave the work zone.
Always keep the work zone clean and free of splitted wood and debris.
Always wear safety gear, eye protection, gloves and work boots when operating the
log splitter
The hydraulic oil needs to be above 0° C before starting the engine. Cold hydraulic oil
can damage the hydraulic pump. If outdoor air temperature is below 0° C allow the
log splitter to warm up by extending and returning the wedge several times before
splitting wood.
