Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of carelessness when using electrical tools
can result in serious injuries.
• Wear personal protective equipment and always
safety goggles. Wearing personal protective equip-
ment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes to
suit the respective use of the power tool will reduce
the risk of personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to the power supply, picking up or carrying the
electric tool. Carrying electric tools with your finger
on the switch or connecting power tools to the pow-
er supply when they are already switched on invites
accidents.
• Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys
before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
• Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables better con-
trol of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and ig-
nore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power socket
before making any adjustments to the device,
changing tool inserts or transporting the power
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
• Maintain power tools and attachments. Check
whether moving parts function properly and do
not get stuck and whether parts are broken or are
damaged and thus adversely affect the electric tool
function. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Proper-
ly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
• Use the power tool, tool attachments and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions.
Take into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
• Only have your power tool repaired by qualified
specialists and only with original spare parts.
This ensures that safety of the electric tool is main-
tained.
6. Additional safety instructions
• The log splitter may only be operated by a single
person.
• Never split trunks that contain nails, wire, or other
objects.
• Wood that has already been split and wood chip-
pings create a hazardous work area. There is a
danger of tripping, slipping or falling. Always keep
the work area orderly.
• Never place your hands on moving parts of the ma-
chine when it is switched on.
• Only split wood with a maximum length of 107 cm.
