Protective electrically non conductive gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear protec-

tive hair covering to contain long hair, preventing it from get 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  

afety 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 awkward operating position that the operator has to 

bring his face close to the machine, and thus risks being struck by wood chips or debris.

EXTENSION CORDS

Improper use of extension cords may cause inef ficient operation of the log spl itter which can result in overheating. 

Be sure the extension cord is no longer than 32.81FT.and its section is no less than 2.5mm2 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

After installation, the degree of protection of the BSI approved plug and socket combination shall be IP44D at least.

IP4XD means: the access probe of 1.0mm diameter, 100mm length,shall have adequate clearance from hazardous 

parts.

IPX4 means: water splashed against the enclosure form any direction shall have no harmful effects.

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 differential switch upstream.

Ground the log splitter. 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.

Mark 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 be always operated by one person only. Other people should keep a safe distance from the 

work area, especially when the log splitter is under operations.

Never use another people to help you with freeing jammed log.

Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in logs to be split. The ends of the logs must be cut square. Branch-

es must be cut of flush with the trunk.
