Special warning when using this log splitter
Using this powerful tool may create special hazards.
Take particular care to safeguard yourself and those around
you.
Hydraulic systems.
Never operate this tool if there is a hazard presented by
hydraulic fluid. Before using the log splitter, check for
hydraulic leaks. Be sure that the tool and your work area is
clean and free of oil spills. Hydraulic fluid can create hazards
causing you to slip and fall, your hands to slip while using the
machine or cause a fire hazard.
Electrical safety.
Never operate this tool if there is an electrical hazard. Never
operate a log splitter in wet conditions. Never operate this
tool with an improper electric cord or extension cord. Never
operate this tool unless you are able to plug it into a properly
grounded outlet which supplies power as stated on the type
tag and is protected by a 16 Amp circuit switch if you have a
machine with a 230 Volt motor and 10 Amp if you have a
machine with a 400 Volt motor.
Physical hazards. Log splitting creates special physical
hazards. Never operate this tool unless you are wearing
proper safety gloves, hard-toed shoes and approved eye
protection etc. Watch out for splitters in order to avoid
puncture, injury and jamming the tool. Never try to split logs
which are too large or small to fit properly within the tool.
Never attempt to split logs containing nails, wires or other
debris. Clean up as you work, accumulated split wood and
wood chips can create a hazardous work environment.
Never continue to work in a cluttered work area which may
make you slip, trap or fall. Keep onlookers away from the tool
and never allow unauthorized persons to operate this tool.
NOTICE. No list of warning can include everything. The
operator must use common sense and operate the log
splitter in a safe manner.
Safety instructions
Warning:
As with all machinery there are certain hazards involved with
the operation and use. Exercising respect and caution will
lessen the risk of personal injury considerably. However, if
normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored it might
result in personal injury to the operator or damage of
property. The log splitter is a tool which, if used wrongly, can
cause serious accidents. It is therefore important that you
read and understand the user manual before using the tool,
especially the safety warnings marked with the symbol:
Read and become familiar with the entire user manual.
Learn the machine's applications and limitations as well
as the specific potential hazards particular to it.
The log splitter is only intended for splitting logs of wood,
if the size corresponds to the recommended indicates:
Length 25-50 cm. Diameter 8-35 cm.
Control damaged parts. Before further use of the
machine, a guard or other part that may be damaged
shall be inspected to ensure that it will operate properly
and perform in its intended function. Check for alignment
of the moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, or any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other parts that are damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
Always wear safety gear, eye protection, gloves and
work boots when operating the log splitter.
Wood, unlike most other materials, is very varied and
can behave differently when splitting depending on the
type of wood, moisture and whether it has many knots
and side branches. Most wood is easily cleaved without
problems. However, in some cases, the wood can be
very hard, and the log splitter must build up extra
pressure before the wood splits. This can mean that the
wood "jumps" and divides with high pressure. The same
can apply if the tree has many knots.
Disconnect the machine before servicing it and before
replacing any parts such as blades, bits, cutters etc.
Keep guards and slide bars in place and in working
order.
Always carry ear protectors/defenders and eye
protection/goggles, face protection and working gloves.
Always remove adjusting keys/spanners etc. Form habit
of checking to ensure that keys and spanners etc. are
removed from the machine before turning it on.
Never use the machine under influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
You must never stand on the machine, injury could
occur in case of a fall.
You must never leave the machine running unattended.
Always turn the power off. Don't leave the machine until
it comes to a complete stop.
Always remove the plug from the electric outlet when
adjusting, changing parts or repairing the machine.
Ensure that the electric cable is fully protected and there
is no danger of damage of equipment or materials.
