UNDERSTAND YOUR LOG SPLITTER: Read and understand
the owner's manual and labels affixed to the log splitter.
Learn its application and limitations as well as the specific
potential hazards peculiar to it.
DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND MEDICATION: Do not operate the
log splitter while under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or any medication that could affect your ability to use it
properly.
AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS: Use the log splitter
on the ground, on the stand supplied or one of the stands
available as accessories. Ensure the stand, if used, is securely
assembled.
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered areas invite
injuries. Do not use the log splitter in wet or damp areas or
expose it to rain. Do not use it in areas where fumes from
paint, solvents or flammable liquids pose a potential hazard.
INSPECT YOUR LOG SPLITTER: Check your log splitter
before turning it on. Keep guards in place and in working
order. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool area before turning it on.
Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using it.
DRESS PROPERLY: Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties or jewellery (rings, wrist watches). They can be
caught in moving parts.
Protective electrically non conductive gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair, preventing it from getting
caught in machinery.
PROTECT YOUR EYES AND FACE: Any log splitter may throw
foreign objects into the eyes. This can cause permanent eye
damage. Always wear safety goggles. Everyday eyeglasses
have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety
glasses.
Stand behind and to the right of the machine when operating
it. Do not bend over the machine to operate it, this is an
awkward operating position that has the operator bring
their face close to the machine, and thus risk being struck
by wood chips or debris.
