FIELD OF APPLICATION 

This log splitter is a transportable machine tool intended for private household- and hobby use. It is intended for splitting 
horizontal material in the direction of the fibers in the wood. Only straight, clean-cut logs may be processed in this splitter. 
All other use is in violation of the user conditions. To operate the equipment in violation of these conditions, modify the 
design, or the use of third part spare parts which are not approved by the manufacturer, may cause incalculable injuries. 
 
Logs must never be split in upright position or against the fiber direction!
