2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Designated use
The log splitter is intended exclusively for splitting
perpendicularly cut and well-dried logs. The di-
mensions of the logs must not exceed the dimen-
sions given in the technical data.
Only one person may remain in the working area
of the log splitter, and the log splitter may be op-
erated only by one person.
This appliance is intended solely for use in non-
commercial applications. Any other use (as well
as unauthorised conversions or add-ons) are re-
garded as contrary to the intended use and will
result in exclusion of the warranty as well as loss
of conformity (CE mark); the manufacturer will
thus decline any responsibility for damage and/or
injury suffered by the user or third parties.

den:
