INSPECT YOUR LOG SPLITTER
Check your log splitter before turning it on. Keep guards in place
and in working order. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool area before turning it on.
Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using it.
DRESS PROPERLY
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist
watches). They can be caught in moving parts.
Protective electrically non conductive gloves and non-skid footwear
are recommended when working. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair, preventing it from getting 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.
EXTENSION CORDS
Improper use of extension cords may cause ineffi cient operation
of the log splitter which can result in overheating. Be sure the
extension cord is no longer than 10m and its section is no less than
2.5mm2 to allow suffi cient current � ow to the motor.
Avoid use of free and inadequately insulated connections.
Connections must be made with protected material suitable for
outdoor use.
AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
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
diff erential 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, contact a quali� ed electrician.
Make sure your � ngers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when
plugging or unplugging the log splitter.
