GENERAL SAFETY

EVER

NEVER allow children to operate this log splitter. NEVER allow adults lacking proper instructions and understanding to

operate this log splitter.

KEEP all people and pets a minimum of 10 feet away from your work area when operating this log splitter. Only the

operator is to be near the log splitter during use.

NEVER actuate the control until all people are clear of the work area.

NEVER operate the log splitter when under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.

NEVER allow a person who is tired or otherwise not alert to operate the log splitter.

PREPARATION OF THE LOG

Both ends of the log should be cut as square as possible to help prevent the log from riding out of the splitter during

operation. Do not split logs greater than 26 in. in length.

WORK AREA

NEVER operate the log splitter on slippery, wet, muddy or icy ground.

ONLY operate your log splitter on level ground. Operating on a slope could cause the log splitter to roll over or logs to fall

off.

NEVER operate your log splitter in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide which can be deadly when

inhaled.

NEVER attempt to move your log splitter over hilly or uneven terrain without a tow vehicle or adequate help.

ALWAYS block the wheels to prevent movement of the log splitter while in operation.

ONLY operate your log splitter in daylight or under good artificial light.

ALWAYS keep the work area clean. Remove split wood around your log splitter immediately so that you don’t stumble

over it.

OPERATION OF THE LOG SPLITTER

Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.

ZONE

TONGUE

FOOT PLATE

ENGINE

BEAM

ONLY operate the log splitter from the operator zone as

shown in the diagram. The operator has the safest and

most effcient access to the control valve and the beam

in this location.Failure to operate the log splitter in this

position can result in serious injury or death.

Page 3

ALWAYSEread the operator’s manual before operation. It is located in the plastic canister on the tongue.

OPERATOR

KNOW how to stop the log splitter and disengage the controls before operating it.

NEVER place hands or feet between the log and splitting wedge during forward or reverse stroke. Serious injury or death

could result.

NEVER straddle or step over the log splitter during operation.

NEVER reach or bend over the log splitter to pick up a log.

NEVER try to split two logs on top of each other.

NEVER try to cross split a log.

NEVER attempt to load your log splitter when the ram or wedge is in motion.

ALWAYS use your hand to operate the control lever on the valve. NEVER use your foot, a rope or any extension device.

NEVER move the log splitter while the engine is running. Shut off the engine even if you are leaving the log splitter for a

short period of time.

ALWAYS avoid contact with the muffler and other hot areas of the engine during operation or after running to prevent

burns.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY

NEVER operate your log splitter when it is in poor mechanical condition or in need of repair.

Periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic fittings and hose clamps are tight.

NEVER alter your log splitter in any manner. Such alterations may cause your log splitter to be unsafe and will void the

warranty.

Perform all recommended maintenance procedures before using your log splitter.

Replace all damaged or worn parts immediately.

NEVER tamper with the engine to run it at excessive speeds. The maximum engine speed is preset by the manufacturer

and is within safety limits. See Honda engine manual.

ALWAYS remove the spark plug wire before performing any service or repair on your log splitter.

ALWAYS check the level of hydraulic oil and engine oil before operation.

ALL replacement parts must meet manufacturer’s specifications.

Page 4

HYDRAULIC SAFETY

The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to

replace frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components.

NEVER check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible.

Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death.

Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of cardboard over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration.

ALWAYS seek professional medical attention immediately if injured by escaping hydraulic fluid. Serious infection or

reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.

ALWAYS be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the valve control handle back and forth

should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting.

NEVER remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log splitter is running. The tank could contain hot oil

under pressure which could result in serious injury.

NEVER adjust the hydraulic valve. The pressure relief valve on your log splitter is preset at the factory. Only a qualified

service technician should perform this adjustment.

FIRE PREVENTION

NEVER operate your log splitter near a flame or spark. Hydraulic oil and gasoline are flammable and can explode.

NEVER fill the gas tank while the engine is hot or running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.

NEVER smoke while operating or refueling your log splitter. Gas fumes can easily explode.

ONLY refuel your log splitter in a clear area with no gas fumes or spilled gas.

ALWAYS use an approved fuel container.

ALWAYS replace the gas cap securely.

If gasoline has spilled, move the log splitter away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until

the spilled gas has evaporated.

ALWAYS take a Class B fire extinguisher with you when operating this log splitter in dry areas as a precautionary

measure against possible flying sparks.

ALWAYS drain the fuel tank prior to storage to avoid the potential fire hazard.

ALWAYS store gasoline in an approved, tightly sealed container. Store the container in a cool, dry place.

NEVER store gasoline in the house or near a heating appliance.

Page 5

ALWAYS turn the fuel shut off valve on the engine to the “OFF” position before towing the log splitter. Failure to do so

may result in flooding the engine.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This log splitter is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved

forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark

arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in efffective

working order by the operator. In the state of California a spark arrester is required by law. Other states have similar laws.

Federal laws apply on federal lands. A spark arrester muffler (optional by manufacturer) is available as an accessory at

your nearest engine dealer. Always check the legal requirements in your area.

TOWING SAFETY

ALWAYS check all local and state regulations regarding towing, licensing, and lights before towing your log splitter.

ALWAYS check before towing to make sure that the log splitter is correctly and securely attached to the towing vehicle

and that the safety chains are secured to the hitch or bumper of the vehicle with enough slack to allow turning. Always

use a Class I, 2” ball with this log splitter.

NEVER carry any cargo or wood on your log splitter.

NEVER allow anyone to sit or ride on your log splitter.

ALWAYS disconnect your log splitter from the towing vehicle before operating it.

ALWAYS be careful when backing up with your log splitter in tow. It could jackknife.

ALWAYS allow for added length of your log splitter when turning, parking, crossing interesections and in all driving

situations.

NEVER exceed 45 mph when towing your log splitter. Towing the log splitter at speeds higher than 45 mph could result

in loss of control, damage to the equipment , serious injury or death. Adjust towing speed for terrain and conditions.

Be extra cautious when towing over rough terrain especially railroad crossings.
