Safety instructions
shock. Always use an RCD (redicual circuit device or circuit breaker).
(f)
Hold the machine at the insulated gripping surfaces as the log splitter
may hit its own power cord. Damaging a live cable may make metal
machine parts live, which may lead to an electric shock.
3) Personal
safety
(a)
Please pay attention and watch what you are doing, and carry out the
work with the electric tool sensibly. Do not use the machine, when you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicine. A
moment of carelessness in the use of the machine could lead to serious
injuries.
(b)
Wear your safety equipment and always put on safety goggles. Wearing
personal protective gear, such as dust mask, anti-skid safety shoes, hard
hat and ear protection, depending on the type of use of the electric
tool, will reduce the risk of injury.
(c)
Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure that the switch is in the
“OFF” position before you remove the plug from the socket. If you have
your finger on the switch when carrying the machine or if you connect
the running machine to the socket, this may lead to accidents.
(d)
Remove the adjusting tools or the spanners before switching on the
machine. A tool or a key which is located in a revolving part of the
machine may lead to injuries.
(e)
Concentrate at all times. Ensure a safe stand and keep your balance at
all times. In this case you will be able to control the machine better in
unexpected situations.
(f)
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear any loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves clear of any moving parts.
(g)
If dust extraction or collection devices can be mounted, make sure that
they are connected properly and are used in the proper way. The use of
these pieces of equipment reduce hazards caused by dust.
4)
Careful handling and use of electric tools
(a)
Use the correct tool for the job at hand.
(b)
Do not use an electric tool, if the switch is defective. An electric tool,
which cannot be switched on or off, is dangerous and has to be
repaired.
(c)
Remove the plug from the socket before setting down the machine,
changing accessories or putting the machine aside. This precautionary
measure prevents the unintentional start of the machine.
(d)
Keep unused electric tools out of reach of children. Do not permit
