EXTENSION CORDS

Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of the log splitter which 
can result in overheating. Be sure extension cord is approved for this application. See 
specifications. Be sure the extension cord is no longer than 10m (30 ft) to allow sufficient  
current flow to the motor. Avoid use of free and inadequately insulated connections.  
Connections must be made with protected material suitable for outdoor use.

AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK

Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with the power, 
voltage and frequency of the motor. Check that there is a ground connection and a regulation dif-
ferential switch upstream. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, 
and refrigerator enclosures. Never open the pushbutton box on the motor. 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.

KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY

The log splitter must always be operated by one person only. Other people should keep a safe 
distance from the work area, especially when the log splitter is in operation. Never have  
another person help you with freeing a jammed log.

INSPECT LOG

Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in logs to be split. The ends of the logs must  
be cut square. Branches must be cut off flush with the trunk.

DO NOT OVERREACH

Floor must not be slippery.  Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Never stand on log split-
ter. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted. 
Do not store items above or near the log splitter where anyone might use the log splitter to stand 
on in order to reach the items.

AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT

Always pay full attention to the movement of the log pusher.  Do not attempt to load the  
log on until the log pusher has stopped.  Keep hands out of the way of all moving parts.

PROTECT YOUR HANDS

Keep your hands away from splits and cracks which open in the log, as they may close  
suddenly and can cause severe injury.  Do not remove jammed logs with your hands.

 

DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL

Never try to split logs larger than those indicated in the specifications table. This could be dan-
gerous and may damage the machine.  Do not use log splitter for purposes in which it was not 
intended.

NEVER LEAVE THE LOG SPLITTER RUNNING UNATTENDED

Do not leave log splitter unattended until it has come to a complete stop and is unplugged.

DISCONNECT POWER

Unplug when not in use, before making adjustments, changing parts, cleaning, or working on the 
log splitter. Consult technical manual before servicing.

PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

Take used oil to an authorized collection point or follow the stipulations in the country where the 
log splitter is used. Do not discharge into drains, soil or water.
