carefully tip the log splitter backwards onto it's wheels, using
the handles to transport it short distances.
3.3. Work site preparation.
Plan the work site beforehand to ensure a safe working
environment and to save effort by positioning the logs so they
can easily be reached. ensure that the log splitter is
positioned on firm and level ground. locate site so that the
split wood can be stacked or loaded directly into a suitable
vehicle or trailer.
When cutting up wood for splitting, bear in mind the capacity
of the splitter, which is between 300mm and 600mm in 50mm
steps. decide which length is most appropriate and cut the
wood slightly shorter than the set length.
