ting zone.

WARNING!
The use of this powerful machine can give rise to special types of
danger. Take particular care to protect both yourself and all other
persons in the vicinity. You should comply with basic precautionary
measures at all times in order to minimise the risk of injuries and
danger.
The machine must never be operated by more than one opera-
tor.
• Never attempt to split any trunks which are larger than the recom-
mended trunk capacity.
• The trunks must be free of any nails or wire which may be flung out
or might damage the machine during operation.
• The trunks must be cut flat at the ends and have had all branches
removed from them.
• The wood must always be split along the direction of the grain.
Never insert the piece of wood crosswise to the splitter and then
attempt to split it as this could damage the splitter.
• The operator must operate the machine controls with both hands
and must not use any other kind of device as a substitute for the
controls.
• The machine may be operated only by adults who have read the op-
erating instructions prior to starting operation. No one is permitted
to use the machine without reading the manual first.
• Never attempt to split two trunks in a single operation as this may
cause pieces of wood to be flung out, which is dangerous.
• Never add more wood or replace a piece of wood while the machine
is in the middle of an operation as this would be extremely danger-
ous.
