Operating the machine
3.1 Acknowledging the hazards and responsibilities involved
Operators of the machine must familiarise themselves with and observe the instructions in the user
manual. Incorrect operation of the machine (for example removing the guards) may compromise the
operator’s safety. In these cases, the responsibility for the consequences rests with the operator.
3.2 Before use
Safe use of the machine requires adherence to the instructions provided by the instruction and warning
labels. The operator is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the machine and its safety device.
Neglecting to maintain the machine or use the safety equipment may void the guarantee. Ensure that you
have familiarised yourself with the operation of the machine and its functions.
1. Visually check the machine for damage and oil leaks.
2. Ensure that the machine’s power source is correctly connected and firmly in place.
3. Ensure that all of the machine’s components and guards are in place.
4. Check the machine’s hydraulic and saw oil levels and add oil if necessary.
5. Ensure that no unauthorised persons are in the danger zone and start the machine.
6. Check that the machine’s controls work as intended (3.4 and 3.5).
7. Ensure that the cutting and splitting mechanism does not function when the protective mesh is open (3.3).
3.3 Safety mechanism
The machine features a safety mechanism that prevents operation when the guard of the working area is
open.
A. The safety mechanism stops the
splitting and prevents the rotation of the
chainsaw immediately if the guard is
opened.
The splitting motion and sawing cannot
continue until the mesh is closed again.
DO NOT USE THE MACHINE IF THE SAFETY MECHANISM DOES NOT FUNCTION!
IF YOU NEED TO ADJUST THE SAFETY MECHANISM, SEE SECTION 1.9 (PRODUCT
SAFETY).
