Routine Maintenance
This chapter describes routine maintenance, i.e. operations carried out by the operator, on the
CAMON SP8E Log Splitter to keep it in perfect working order and therefore reliable for continuous,
long-term use.
All routine maintenance operations must be carried out with the machine off and in the case of
log splitters with electric motor with the power cable disconnected.
