IV. INTENDED USE
Warning!
This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation.
This field can impair active or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In
order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons
with medical implants consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medi-
cal implant prior to operating the electric tool.
The hydraulic log splitter may only be used in a horizontal position.
Wood may only be split in a horizontal position along the fibre.
The maximum split wood length is 52 cm.
In no way may the machine be used for any other purposes than splitting firewood.
1. The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is
deemed to be a case of misuse.
2. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or
injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.
3. To use the equipment properly you must also observe the safety information, the
assembly instructions and the operating instructions to be found in this manual.
4. All persons who use and service the equipment have to be acquainted with this
manual and must be informed about the equipment’s potential hazards.

6. The same applies for the general rules of health and safety at work.
7. The manufacturer will not be liable for any changes made to the equipment nor for

Even when the equipment is used as prescribed it is still impossible to eliminate
certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the
machine’s construction and design:
• Dry and dried-up wood may jump up when being split and injure the face of the
operator. Adequate protective clothes to be worn!
• Wooden pieces produced during splitting may fall down and injure legs of the
operator.
• When splitting wood, parts of body may be crushed or separated due to hydraulic
knife lowering.
• There is a risk of branchy wood getting stuck when being split. Please be advised
that wood being separated is under heavy pressure and your fingers may get
squeezed in the gap.
• Caution! Pieces of wood cut at the right angle to be split only! Diagonally cut piec-
es of wood may slip when cutting! This may cause personal injury or damage to
the splitter knife especially when using the gap extension by Splitting Wedge!
