to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. Avoid
use of free and inadequately insulated connections. Connections
must be made with protected material suitable for outdoor use.
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. Ground the log splitter. Prevent
body contact with grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerator enclosures. 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.
Do not smoke or have open flames when operating or refilling
the log splitter. Never operate the log splitter near a flame or
spark. Oil is flammable and can be exploded.
Allow only one person to load and operate the log splitter.
Always keep bystanders, including visitors, children and pets
away from the work area, especially when the log splitter is
under operations. Only the operator should stand near the
machine and only within the safe operating area prescribed in
this manual. Never use another people to help you with freeing
jammed log. No one under the age of 16 should be allowed
to operate the log splitter. Any individual under the age of 18
should has the necessary training, skills to perform the functions
properly and safely and should always be under the supervision
of adult.
Never attempt to split logs containing nails, wire or debris.
Always make sure that both ends of the log you are splitting
are cut as square as possible. This will prevent the log from
sliding out of position while under pressure. Branches must be
cut of flush with the trunk.
