Residual risks can be minimised if the “Safety information” and
the “Intended usage” as well as the whole of the operating
instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will
reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Failure to observe the safety precautions can lead to injury
to the operator or damage to property.
Carelessness, failure to comply with the safety regulations
and incorrect use can result in injuries to your hands and
fingers when the splitting blade is moving.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist.
