A guard for a log splitter apparatus is disclosed herein. In various aspects, the guard includes a support member adapted to be secured to a rail of a log splitter apparatus, and a panel hingedly secured to the support member. The panel may be lockably positionable at least between a collapsed position and an extended position. The panel is adapted to capture at least portions of a log, in various aspects. In various aspects, a plurality of support members are located about the panel to secure the panel to the rail of the log splitter apparatus. The support members may be located such that the support members and the panel avoid interference with mechanisms of the log splitter apparatus with the guard secured to the rail. This Abstract is presented to meet requirements of 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b) only. This Abstract is not intended to identify key elements of the apparatus and methods disclosed herein or to delineate the scope thereof. |
