Protect Yourself and Those Around You
This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts operating with high energy. You must operate the machine safely. Unsafe
operation can create a number of hazards for you, as well as anyone else in the nearby area. Always take the following precautions
when using this machine:
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people, their property, and
themselves.
Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields while using the Wood Splitter to protect your eyes from
possible thrown debris.
Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which can catch on moving parts.
We recommend wearing gloves while using the Wood Splitter. Be sure your gloves fit properly and do not have loose cuffs or
drawstrings.
Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your Wood Splitter. If you have safety shoes, we recommend wearing them. Do
not use the machine while barefoot or wearing open sandals.
Wear long pants while operating the Wood Splitter.
Use ear protectors or ear plugs rated for at least 20 dba to protect your hearing.
Keep bystanders at least 50 feet away from your work area at all times. Stop the engine when another person or pet
approaches.
Hydraulic Safety
Escaping pressurized fluid from hydraulic system leaks can have enough force to penetrate skin and cause serious injury or death.
Hydraulic fluid can remain pressurized while the motor is off due to the return spring force on the ram. Always follow these
precautions:
Always release residual energy from pressurized hydraulic fluid and allow the fluid to cool before doing any maintenance or
repair work on the Wood Splitter.
Please follow these steps to depressurize the system and release residual hydraulic energy before starting any repairs:
o
Unplug the Wood Splitter from the power source.
o
Move the operating handle down and up from one limit of travel to the other at least four times. Hold the handle for
three seconds at each limit of travel. The ram should not move during the 4th cycle and should remain fully
retracted.
o
Visit our website at www.drpower.com, call 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637), or call a qualified hydraulic mechanic for
assistance to replace worn components.
Never use your hand or any part of your body to check for hydraulic system leaks while the system is pressurized.
Never remove the fill/dipstick cap from the hydraulic fluid port while the motor is running or while the tank is still warm after
the motor is off. Hot pressurized fluid can cause serious injury, so wait for the hydraulic tank to cool before removing cap.
The Wood Splitter must be operated on a level surface.
Periodically check for hydraulic fluid leaks by placing a sheet of cardboard under the Wood Splitter while the system is
running.
Get professional medical help at once if hydraulic Fluid penetrates anyone's skin.
Never adjust the hydraulic system.

Safety for Children and Pets
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets. Children are often attracted to the
machine and the splitting activity.
Never
assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Always follow these
precautions:
Keep children and pets at least 50 feet from the working area and ensure they are under the watchful care of a responsible
adult.
Be alert and turn the machine off if children or pets enter the work area.
Never allow children to operate the Wood Splitter.
Safety with Electric - Powered Machines
Never overlook the hazards of electricity. Always follow these precautions:
Never open the switch box or motor cover. Never attempt any electrical repairs yourself. If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician, visit our website at www.DRpower.com or contact DR Power Equipment for toll-free support at: 1-800-dr-owner
(376-9637) for help or information.
Never use an extension cord that is not rated for outdoor use.
Never operate the Wood Splitter if there is an electrical hazard present.
Never operate the Wood Splitter in wet conditions.
Never operate the Wood Splitter with a damaged electrical cord or damaged extension cord.
Never pull on the electrical cord to move the machine.
Always grasp the electrical cord plug when unplugging the cord from the outlet; never pull the plug out by the cord. Make
sure your fingers do not touch the metal prongs when plugging or unplugging.
Never operate the Wood Splitter unless the electrical cord is plugged into a properly grounded outlet, which supplies 110-
120v power, and is protected by a 15-amp circuit breaker.
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
If you will use an extension cord, keep the connection between the electrical cord and the extension cord well away from any
water.
Never use an extension cord longer than 25 feet and smaller than 12 awg in diameter, or longer than 50 feet and smaller than
10 awg in diameter; the cord will produce a voltage drop that will prevent the motor from supplying full power and may cause
damage to the motor. Use of a smaller diameter (larger awg number) extension cord could result in melting of the insulation
or even create a fire.
Always keep the electrical cord and/or extension cord away from excessive heat, oil, and sharp objects.
General Safety
Operating this Wood Splitter safely is necessary to prevent or minimize the risk of death or serious injury. Unsafe operation can
