to allow
sufficient current flow to the motor. Avoid use of free and inadequately
insulated connections. Connections must be made with protected mate-
rial suitable for outdoor use.
• AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corre-
sponds with the power, voltage and frequency of the motor. Check that
there is a ground connection, and a regulation differential switch upstre-
am. Ground the log splitter. Prevent body contact with grounded surfa-
ces: 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.
• INSPECT YOUR LOG
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in logs to be split. The
ends of the logs must be cut square. Branches must be cut of flush with
the trunk.
• DON’T OVERREACH
Floor must not be slippery. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Never stand on log splitter. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped
or if the cutting tools is unintentionally contacted. Do not store anything
above or near the log splitter where anyone might stand on the tool to
reach them.
• KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY
The log splitter must be always operated by one person only. Other pe-
ople 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.
• AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT
Always pay full attention to the movement of the log pusher.
Do not attempt to load the log on until the log pusher has stopped.
Keep hands out of the way of all moving parts.
