2. Determine the cause of the overload.
3. Allow the log splitter to cool down for several
minutes, then connect to the mains again.

2.3.2

Mains cable

WARNING!
Risk of injury from
electric shock
A defective mains cable
can result in serious
injuries due to electric
shock.
■
Ensure that the mains
cable is not damaged or
severed.
■
Use only rubber-sheathed cables of quality
H07RN-F according to VDE 0282 Part 14
with a conductor cross section of at least
2.5 mm².
■
The maximum permissible cable length is
10 m. A longer cable impairs the motor power
and hence the performance and function of
the log splitter.
■
Mains cable, mains plug and coupling socket
must be undamaged. A defective mains
cable (e.g. with cracks, cuts, crushed or
kinked points in the insulation) must not be
used.
■
Repairs to the mains cable, mains plug and
coupling socket may only to be carried out by
qualified electricians.
■
Do not expose plug connectors to moisture.
■
If the mains cable is damaged, immediately
disconnect it from the mains.
