SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
Never operate the log splitter on slippery, wet, muddy or icy surfaces. The location you
choose should be free from any tall grass, bush or other interferences. There should be plen-
ty of room for handling and to move around the machine. Keep your work area clean and
well lighted. Cluttered areas invite injuries. To avoid tripping, do not leave tools, logs or oth-
er components laying around the work area.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with the pow-
er, voltage and frequency of the motor. Check that there is a ground connection, and a regu-
lation differential switch upstream. Ground the log splitter. Never open the switch / plug
box. Should this be necessary, contact a qualified electrician. Make sure your fingers do not
touch the plug’s metal prongs when plugging or unplugging the log splitter.
