SERVICE

1. Have your log splitter serviced by a qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that safety is maintained.

ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS FOR LOG SPLITTERS.

• All personnel must read the manual or receive correct training before

they use the log splitter.

• Before starting work, check for soundness of welded joints, securing

nuts & bolts.

• Make sure that the log splitter functions as expected before use.

• NEVER tamper with the log splitter.

• The operator must take all necessary precautions to minimise the risk of

accidental damage or injury due to wood being ejected.

• The log splitter is designed for one person operation.

• DO NOT allow split logs to accumulate; always clean up as you work.

Accumulated split logs and wood chips can create a hazardous work

environment.

• Split wood in the direction of the grain. Do not attempt to split a piece of

wood across the grain.

• Please note some particular characteristics of wood when being

split. A small log can sometimes be hard to split if it has knots or

particularly tough fibres. It is important NOT to persist if the log does

not split fairly easily.
