12. TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART
11.1 Mechanical dangers
The special two-hands control mechanisms minimises risks and dan-
gers related to moving parts on the machine (wedge). An additional
safety is provided on the machine in order to prevent working with
only one handle while the other one is being engaged (held down) by
some mechanical tool or system.
DO NOT EVER ATTEMPT to remove or by-pass the two-hands control!
Danger: operating the splitter without the safety two-hands control
will increase your risk of having your hands pinched during the split-
ting cycle. Do not remove any other safety and protection device from
the machine.
Warning: Splitting without due safety devices will void the warranty
and might result into serious injures to the operator or the other per-
son around the workplace. Keep hands and fingers clear at all times.
