• Work Environment
Plan your work site. Work safely and save effort by preparing your logs by positioning them where they can be
reached easily. Have a nearby location where you can stack the split logs. Prepare your logs before loading them
onto the log splitter. The log splitter accommodates logs with a diameter of up to 52cm. Do not cut sections
exceeding the specified length. Note that dry and seasoned logs will split more easily and will not jam as frequently
as green and moist wood.
Route the power cable and/or extension cable away from the log splitter and position in such way that you can not
trip. Make sure to lead the power cord and/or extension cable away from puddles.
Position the log splitter securely on a solid and level platform. We recommend not installing the log splitter onto the
ground so as to avoid injury caused by splinters. Block the wheel with wedges if necessary.
