Operation
WARNING!
Risk of injury from shat-
tering log
Stored hardwood, irregular
branches, irregular logs
and logs with a large num-
ber of knots tend to shatter
during splitting. Flying
pieces of wood can then
cause serious injuries.
■
Split only straight logs
with a perpendicular
and straight cutting sur-
face.
■
Wear the prescribed
protective clothing at all
times.
NOTE
■
Always split only well-dried logs.
These can be split far easier than
fresh, moist wood.
■
Very thick logs can be split more
easily if they are not too long.
7.1 Before each use
WARNING!
Danger of injury from
faulty appliance
Operation of an faulty ap-
pliance can result in seri-

ter.
■
The log splitter must not be switched on if

■
A defective mains cable (e.g. with cracks,
