, free from any
objects that could prevent complete freedom of movement for the operator while working. The
surface must be perfectly levelled to prevent the machine from falling during operation.
•
It is prohibited to work with the machine on the ground. This is not only an uncomfortable working
position but it can also be dangerous because the operator has to bring his face close to the
machine, and thus risks being struck by chips or debris.
•
Check that the logs to be split are free from nails or wire, which may fly up or damage the
machine. the ends of the logs must be cut square. branches must be cut off flush with the trunk.
•
Never try to split logs larger than those indicated in fig. 2. This could be dangerous and may
damage the machine.
•
Break wood in the direction of the grain. do not place wood across the log splitter and leave it in
that position for splitting; it may be dangerous and may seriously damage the machine.
•
Never attempt to cut two logs at once; one may fly up and hit you.
•
If the log moves away from the blade, retract the ram or the blade and turn the log through 90°.
•
Do not attempt to load the log in the log splitter while the ram is in motion. you could get trapped
and injured.
•
Keep your hands well away from any splits and cracks which open in the log; these may close
suddenly and crush or amputate your fingers.
