footwear are recommended when working. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair, preventing it from get caught in
machinery.

PROTECT YOUR EYES AND FACE
Any log splitter may throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can
cause permanent eye damage. Always wear safety goggles.
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They
are not safety glasses.
Do not put the log splitter on the ground for operations. This is
awkward operating position that the operator has to bring his face
close to the machine, and thus risks being struck by wood chips
or debris.

Avoid use of free and inadequately insulated connections.
Connections must be made with protected material suitable for

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 pushbutton box on the motor. Should this be
necessary, please contact a qualified electrician.
Mark sure your fingers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when
plugging or unplugging the log splitter.
