*The diameter of the log is not indicative - a small log can be difficult
to split when it contains knobs or a particularly tough fiber. On the
other hand, it may not be difficult to split logs with regular fibers
even if its diameter exceeds the maximum diameter described in the
specifications chart.
• Do not use the log splitter in wet or damp areas or expose
it to rain.
• Never try to split logs larger than those indicated in the
specifications table. Failure to do so may damage the
machine. Do not use the log splitter for anything other
than splitting logs. Do not force log through splitter.
• Never use an extension cord that is not rated for outdoor
use. The cord should not be longer than 30 feet. The cord
should be of a heavy-duty construction (12-10 AWG).
• Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and
that it corresponds with the power, voltage and frequency
of the motor. Check that there is a ground connection and
a regulation differential switch upstream. Ground the log
splitter. Prevent body contact with ground surfaces: pipes,
radiatiors, ranges, refrigerator enclosures, etc. Never open
the pushbutton box on the motor. Make sure your fingers
do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when plugging in or
unplugging the log splitter.
• Do not remove jammed logs with your hands. If an object
becomes lodged in the ram, unplug electric motor before
attempting to remove the foreign object.
• Do not use the log splitter in areas where fumes from
paint, solvents, or flammable liquids pose a potential fire/
explosion hazard.
• Use only original equipment parts including all nuts and
bolts.
• Disconnect power by unplugging power cord when not in
use, before making adjustments, changing parts, cleaning,
or working on the log splitter.
• Maintain and keep the log splitter clean for the best and
most safe performance.
