Operation

Do not attempt to operate the log splitter without fully understanding
all our instructions, safety precautions, and warnings. If any doubt or
question arises about the correct or safe method of performing any-
thing found in this or other Brave Products' manuals, contact your
Brave Products' dealer or call the Sales and Service representatives at our main
headquarters. Proper care is your responsibility.
Before loading and operating the log splitter, put on
the proper protective gear, such as safety goggles,
face shield, hearing protection (ear muffs or ear
plugs), tight-fitting gloves (without drawstrings or
loose cuffs), and steel-toed shoes.
When operating the log splitter, make sure you are in the safe operating zone, as shown
in these pictures. You must stay in the safe operating zone at all times when the push-
er plate is in motion (whether extending or retracting). Never place any part of your body
into a position which would cause an unsafe operating condition.
1. Set your log splitter on flat, dry ground.
Make sure you read all the recommenda-
tions from the "Safety" section, before
using the log splitter.
2. Start the engine using the instructions from
the engine manual. If the log splitter has
not been running (cold engine), warm up
the engine and hydraulic system by run-
ning the engine at half throttle for 3 to 4
minutes, then advance the engine throttle
control to maximum speed.
WARNING
Make sure you stay clear from the
engine's exhaust. Hot exhaust is
intense and can cause serious injury.

3. Use the following photos for the correct
and incorrect methods of splitting logs.
Never split a log using an incorrect or
unsafe method.
a. Place the log on the log splitter. Grasp
the log on the sides near the middle of
the block. Center the log, side-to-side,
on the rail of the log splitter, making
sure that the sawed end is against the
splitting wedge.
WARNING
Do not place your hands on the
ends of the log when loading the
log splitter. This is a very
UNSAFE method and could result in injury
to your hands.
WARNING
Do not reach or step across the
rail while the log splitter is run-
ning. This is a very UNSAFE
method which could cause personal injury
or even death.
