17.Do not use machines with electric motor if natural gas, petrol fumes or other inflammable vapors
are present.
18.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.
19.Check on the functioning of the machine.
20.Never open the switch box on the motor. Should this be necessary, contact a qualified
electrician.
21.Make sure that the machine and the cable never come in contact with water.
22.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.
23.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.
24.Before starting work, hydraulic pipes and hoses shall be inspected and the stopping devices
shall be tested.
25.Stop the machine before cleaning or making adjustments.
26.The hazards may arise from particular characteristics of wood when being split (e.g. knots, logs
of irregular shape etc.).
27.Operator must receive necessary training and instruction from a qualified person before
handling the tool.
28.Use the tool only for the intended use. Misuse (such using material other than log) can damage
the tool and cause accidents and injuries.
29.The splitting operation of the machine is designed to be activated by one person. While there is
the possibility that additional operators could be working with the machine (e.g. for loading and
unloading), only one operator should activate splitting operations;
30.The machine shall not be used by children
31.Wear suitable personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety footwear close fitting
clothing and suitable work gloves, eye protection and hearing protection.
32.Tests of the machine's safety devices before use the tool. If safety devices do not work properly,
do no use the tool and bring it to a qualified technician for inspection and reparation.
33.The working area shall be free from obstructions; before installation and operation, clear the
working area. Keep the working area free from obstructions, e.g. logs, split wood, etc.
34.Do not reach into the splitting zone.
TRANSPORTING THE WOODEN SPLITTER TO THE PLACE OF WORK
The log splitter is equipped with 2 wheels for minor displacements. To move the log splitter to your
workplace, roll log splitter at a slight angle after making sure the oil tank cap is tight.
Do not lift or carry the log splitter to move it.
Electrical Safety
WARNING!
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
WARNING! Connect the main leads to a standard 230V±10% (50Hz±1Hz) electrical supply
which has protection devices of under-voltage, over-voltage, over-current as well as a
residual current device (RCD) which maximum residual current rated at 30mA.
Replacing cables or plugs
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones. It is
dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.
