1)
DO NOT allow any person to operate the
hydraulic log splitter without first reading
and understanding the owners manual.
Also read and understand the engine
manual. Know the operating controls and how to stop
the machine quickly in an emergency.
2) NEVER allow children or untrained adults to
operate the hydraulic log splitter
3) ALWAYS wear
protective clothing when
operating the hydraulic
logsplitter. This includes, but is not limited to; safety
glasses, loose fitting gloves, steel capped boots and
hearing protection. Never wear loose fitting clothes
or jewellery when operating the hydraulic logsplitter.
Keep all clothing away from moving parts.
Items could become caught in the machine,
resulting in injury.
4) ALWAYS operate the hydraulic logsplitter in a
well-lighted area
5) NEVER operate the hydraulic
logsplitter on a slippery, wet, muddy, or
icy surfaces. ALWAYS keep your work
area clear of debris.
6)
allow bystanders near the hydraulic
logsplitter. OPERATING THIS MACHINE
IS A SINGLE PERSON OPERATION. It
is the operator’s responsibility to keep
bystanders and animals at a minimum of
6 metres (18 feet) away from the hydraulic logsplitter
while in operation.
7) NEVER operate the hydraulic logsplitter when
fatigued. ALWAYS BE ALERT! If you get tired while
operating the hydraulic logspllitter take a break. If
you have any type of physical or mental condition
that may be aggravated by strenuous work, check
with your physician before you operate this machine.
NEVER operate the hydraulic logsplitter under the
influence of medication, alcohol or drugs.
8)
NEVER step over the hydraulic log splitter
when it is operation – walk around the
hydraulic logsplitter to get around to the
other side
9)
place your hands or fingers
between the end of the log / wood
and the headstock
place your hands or fingers
between the end of the log / wood and the splitting head
position the log by placing your hands or fingers at the
end of the log / wood.
Position the log by placing a hand on the top of the log /
wood as close to the centre of the log / wood as possible.
NEVER have your hands or fingers close to the headstock
or splitting head while the machine is in operation. Remove
hand completely from the log / wood once the splitting head
engages the log / wood.
10) NEVER overspeed the engine or alter the governor
settings. Excessive speed is dangerous and will shorten
engine life
11)
NEVER operate the hydraulic logsplitter in
an enclosed area. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, an odourless and tasteless
poison that can kill.
12) NEVER leave this machine unattended while the
engine is running.
13)
ALWAYS STOP the engine immediately if a
hydraulic leak occurs. NEVER operate this
machine with frayed, kinked, cracked or
damaged hoses, fittings, or tubing.
14)
ALWAYS STOP the engine and disconnect the
spark plug lead(s) and allow the engine to cool
down (Minimum 5 minutes)
15)
ALWAYS
• Turn Off Engine: • Allow Engine To Cool
• Minimum 5 Minutes
• USE UNLEADED FUEL ONLY
• Use Clean, fresh unleaded fuel
• Do-Not over-fill fuel tank
• Allow space for fuel expansion
• Allow no naked flame or hot material in
refuelling area
• Do not smoke near the log splitter
• Use only approved fuel containers and
funnels. Remember, fuel is a potential hazard
