Make sure that the on/off switch is set to OFF before plugging in any power tool.

Think carefully before carrying out every action, so that it is carried out
safely. Never operate machines/power tools when you are tired or under the influence of medicine.

Inspect the tool for damage.
Before starting the tool, make sure that the guards and other parts are unda-
maged and working properly, that moving parts can rotate freely and are correctly aligned, that no moving
parts can get caught and that there is no fault or defect that could affect the performance of the machine.
A safety guard or any other part that is damaged should be repaired by a tradesman or replaced. Damaged
power leads and switches must always be replaced by a tradesman. Never operate a tool if you cannot stop
or start the tool comfortably.

Specific safety instructions for log splitters
• The log splitter is only intended to be used by one operator at a time. The log splitter must not be operated
by more than one person at a time.
• Locate the log splitter on dry, level ground which is not slippery.
• Make sure that branches are cut off flush with the log before splitting.
• Save the instruction manual, make sure that it accompanies the log splitter if it is borrowed.
• Split wood in the direction of the grain. Do not attempt to split wood across the grain.
• Read the warning labels on the log splitter and make sure that they are legible.
• Make sure that the electrical socket you intend to use has the correct voltage (230 V) before connecting
the log splitter.
• Never attempt to adjust the force setting yourself. The log splitter is pre-set at the factory for a maximum
splitting force of 6 tonnes.
• Tampering with the pressure settings can lead to diminished performance and damage to the machine and
result in serious person injury.
• Do not attempt to split two logs at the same time.
• Never attempt to right a leaning log with your hand whilst the ram is in motion. Stop the machine and move
the log so that it is standing vertically.
• Never attempt to hold a log with your hand whilst the ram is in motion.
• If a log jams or fails to be split because it exceeds the capacity of the ram, release both control levers and let the
ram return to its original position, otherwise there is a risk that the motor will become damaged by overheating.
• Switch off the log splitter and disconnect it from the mains supply whenever you take a break and before
starting any maintenance procedures. Make sure that log splitter cannot be started by any children or unaut-
horised person.
• Make sure that all the safety features on the log splitter are correctly fitted and functioning properly.
• Wear safety glasses, ear defenders and safety shoes if necessary.
• Always stand in such a way that you can perform all work tasks whilst maintaining good balance and grip
the control levers in both hands.
• Keep your hands and fingers well away from the and splitting wedge. When operating machines, always use
your common sense and be careful.
• Make sure that there are no bystanders or pets close to the machine, sharp splinters can be ejected by
the blade with great force.
• Connect the log splitter to a wall socket via an RCD.
• Never use the log splitter in the rain or wet conditions.
