ALWAYS maintain unit in safe operating condition. Damaged or worn out muffler can cause fire or explosion. Disconnect unit from tow vehicle before using. Use wheel chocks to prevent movement of unit during operation. Logs should be cut with square ends before placing on splitter. When placing logs on unit position hands on sides (bark side) of logs and not on the ends. Never place hands or any part of the body between a log and any part of the log splitter. Do not attempt to stabilize logs with legs or feet while operating. Moving parts can cut off or crush body parts. Do not split more than one log at a time unless the cylinder has been fully extended and a second log is needed to complete the separation of the first log. Position logs against end plate grips before operating hydraulic cylinder. Split logs end to end in the direction of the grain, not against the grain. Keep fingers and hands away from cracks in logs while splitting. These can quickly close and pinch or crush body parts. On logs that are not square place the longest portion of the log closest to the beam and the most square end against the splitter wedge. Use only your hand to operate the control lever.
