GENERAL
SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation and
use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of personal
injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal
injury to the operator or damage to property may result.
•
The operator must take all necessary precautions to minimise the risk of
accidental damage or injury due to wood being ejected from the machine.
•
The operator must operate the machines’ controls with both hands without
using other makeshift systems and without tampering with the ZHB control.
•
When the machine is working, persons and animals must be kept at a distance
of at least 5 meters from the machine.
•
NEVER
work with the machine on the ground. This is not only an uncomfortable
working position but it can also be dangerous because the operator has to
bend towards the machine, and thus risk being struck by chips or debris.
For the best and safest use, the logbuster MUST
be used on a raised surface,of sufficient height
so that when the logbuster is mounted, the main
bed of the machine is no higher. or lower, than
the extended arms of the operator, without the
operator having to bend forward (see fig. 3).
The surface must be perfectly level to prevent
the machine from moving during operation, and
the area must be free from any objects that could
prevent complete freedom of movement for the
operator whilst working.
•
Never tamper with the log splitter or attempt to
operate the machine without covers fitted.
•
The machine must always be used by
ONE OPERATOR ONLY
.
•
Nobody must be allowed to use the log splitter unless they have read the
instruction manual thoroughly and have been instructed in its use.
•
The machine must be used by adults only.
•
Wear suitable clothing. Be aware that, loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
may get caught in moving parts.
•
ALWAYS wear good quality industrial gloves when using the machine.
•
Check that the logs to be split are free from nails or wire, which may fly up or
damage the machine. The ends of the logs must be cut square. Branches
must be cut off flush with the trunk.
•
Never try to split logs larger than those indicated in fig. 2. This could be
dangerous and may damage the machine.
