SAFETY WARNINGS & EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS ON THE MACHINE
UNDERSTAND YOUR LOG SPLITTER
Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed to the log splitter. Learn its
application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it.
DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND MEDICATION
Do not operate the log splitter while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication
that could affect your ability to use it properly.
AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
Always operate your log splitter on a 60 - 75cm high, stable, flat and level work bench, or
on the optional work stand. Never operate your log splitter on slippery, wet, muddy, or icy
surfaces. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do not use the
log splitter in wet or damp areas or expose it to rain. Do not use it in areas where fumes from
paint, solvents or flammable liquids pose a potential hazard.
INSPECT YOUR LOG SPLITTER
Check your log splitter before turning it on. Keep guards in place and in working order.
Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using it. Make sure all nuts, bolts, screws,
hydraulic fittings, hose clamps, etc. are securely tightened. Always check the oil level in the
hydraulic oil tank. Never operate your log splitter when it is in need of repair or is in poor
mechanical condition.
WORK WEAR
Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewellery (rings, wrist watches). They can be caught in
moving parts. Protective gloves and safety 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 an awkward operating position whereby the operator has to bring his face
close to the machine, and thus risks being struck by wood chips or debris.
EXTENSION CORDS
Only rubber cable complying with the H07RN-F quality standard stipulated in VDE 0282 Part
14 with a wire cross section of 2.5mm
2
should be used. The maximum permissable cable
length is 10m. A longer cable may impair the motor performance and the function of the
logsplitter. The connection cable, plug and socket should be free of damage. Repairs to the
connection cable, plug and connection socket should only be carried out by a qualified
electrician. A damaged connection cable should not be used. Plug connections should not
be exposed to damp or water.
AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with the power
and voltage of the motor. Check that there is a ground connection. Never open the switch /
plug box. Should this be necessary, contact a qualified electrician. Make sure your fingers do
not touch the plug’s metal prongs when plugging or unplugging the log splitter.
