20.  Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with the power, 

voltage and frequency of the motor, check that there is a ground connection, and a regulation 
differential switch upstream. 
Check on the functioning of the machine. 

21.  Never open the switch box on the motor. Should this be necessary, contact a qualified 

electrician. 

22.  Make sure that the machine and the cable never come in contact with water. 
23.  Treat the power cable with care, do not attempt to move the machine by pulling the cable, do 

not yank the cable to unplug it; keep the cable away from excessive heat, oil and sharp 
objects. 

24.  Never leave the machine unattended with the power supply “on”, also disconnect the power 

cable when not in use, when carrying out maintenance work, when changing attachment or 
moving the machine. 

25.  Before starting work, hydraulic pipes and hoses shall be inspected and the stopping devices 

shall be tested. 

26.  Keep the working area free from obstructions, e.g. logs, split wood etc. 
27.  Stop the machine before cleaning or making adjustments. 
28.  The hazards may arise from particular characteristics of wood when being split(e.g.knots, logs 

of irregular shape etc.)
