All operators of this equipment must read and completely understand all safety information, operating instructions, maintenance and storage instructions. Failure to properly operate and maintain the log splitter could result in serious injury to the operator and bystanders from moving parts that can crush or cut, flying objects, burns, fire or explosion, escaping high pressure hydraulic fluid, or carbon monoxide poisoning in particular, be aware of the following hazards. Crush and Cut Hazards Moving parts can crush and cut hands and fingers. Keep hands clear of endplate, wedge, logs, and log strippers while splitting. High Pressure Hydraulic Fluid Hazards High fluid pressures and temperatures are developed in hydraulic log splitters. Hydraulic fluid escaping through even a pin-size hole opening can puncture skin and cause severe blood poisoning. Inspect hydraulic system regularly for possible leaks. Never check for leaks with your hand while the system is pressurized. Seek medical attention immediately if injured by escaping fluid. Fire Hazards • If your log splitter is intended for use near an ignitable forest, brush, or grassy covered land, the engine exhaust should be equipped with a spark arrestor. See the “Specifications” section of this manual to determine if your splitter already has a spark arrestor. If not equipped, call Northstar Customer Service for ordering information. • Keep a fire extinguisher with you that is rated for ordinary combustibles and flammable liquids. STOP!

About Your Log Splitter: This log splitter is a machine designed to split wood logs using a hydraulically powered moving wedge. The log splitter’s gasoline engine is used to pressurize the hydraulic system. This log splitter is designed to split logs lengthwise with the grain only. Your splitter can be used in either a vertical or horizontal splitting position: • When the splitter is set up to operate in the horizontal splitting position, a log is placed on the horizontal beam and the wedge moves horizontally into the end of the log to split it. • When the splitter is set up to operate in the vertical splitting position, the log is placed on the endplate, upright on its end, and the wedge moves down into the top of the log to split it. The horizontal splitting position is used for lighter logs that can be easily loaded onto the beam. The vertical splitting position is used for heavier logs that are difficult to load onto the beam. The technical specifications for your log splitter are provided in the Specifications section of this manual. WARNING This log splitter uses a high-pressure hydraulic system to generate a very strong splitting force. Read the manual completely before using the machine to understand how to safely operate and maintain it. Follow all safety precautions presented throughout this manual. A summary of important safety information can be found at the end of this manual.
