One of the many benefits of using an electric log splitter is that it does not produce carbon monoxide while operating. This means it can be used indoors. However, care must still be taken that you choose an indoor location that offers ample operating space and lighting. The electric log splitter should be placed in a location that can be secured so children can’t wander in. Additionally, splitting logs can create a bit of a mess, so you want to use it in a room that won’t be damaged by wood chips and sawdust and is easy to clean.
