How to Register a Wood Splitter

Wood splitters are high-powered machines that ease a person's job of cutting firewood. Also called log splitters, owners might want to register this equipment so that they can stay in touch with its manufacturer. Splitters generate tons of pressure to pull off the hard task of chopping through wood. If there was an error in craftsmanship or a defect is later detected, prompting a recall, owners need to be alerted about these issues. If you need to register your wood splitter, several avenues exist that can help you put your equipment on record.

Instructions

      Navigate to the wood splitter manufacturer's website. Click the "Product Registration" link, usually found at the bottom of the page. Fill out the form on the Web page with the requested information. Be sure to include your name, address and phone number. Also important is to include the serial and model numbers, as well as purchase information. Click the "Send" or "Submit" button to transmit your wood splitter product registration to the company via the Internet.

      Contact the customer service department for the manufacturer to have staff help you register the wood splitter. Many companies prefer customers use Web page forms or email to contact their customer service department, but some still have live operators available for answering the phone as well. Navigate to the manufacturer's website and click "Support" or "Contact Us" to find the email address and phone numbers.

      Ask the clerk at the store or independent dealer for assistance with registration during your purchase. For example, ask the sales associate at Lowe's or Home Depot if he or she can register the wood splitter at the cash register. If you are shopping through an independent local dealer, they might also have the capacity to help you register. They will ask you for your name, address and phone number. They should already have the model and serial number information there at the counter by looking at the product. If you have already made the purchase and left the store, call back and ask if registration is still possible.

      Fill out the product registration card and mail it in to the manufacturer of the wood splitter. When you unpack your equipment, look at the paperwork, which includes the user manual. The company usually includes a card that you send back with all of your customer information.
