• AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with the power, volt-
age and frequency of the motor. Check that there is a ground connection, and a regulation differ-
ential 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 electri-
cian.
Mark sure your fingers do not touch the plug's metal prongs when plugging or unplugging the log
splitter.
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 other people to help you with freeing jammed log.
