3.1 - General safety regulations
The machine must always be used by one operator only.
Do not use the machine outdoor when it is raining or snowing.
Nobody must be allowed to use the log splitter unless they have read the instruction manual and have been instructed in the regulations to follow
for correct and safe use.
Use of the log splitter by apprentices of not less than 16 years of age must be supervised by an adult authorised to use the machine.
Never wear loose, unbuttoned clothing which may become trapped in moving parts.
Do not move the log splitter while the motor is running.
Do not work on sloping or slippery ground. position the machine in a fl at area free from objects which may impede the freedom of movement of
the operator.
Keep the log support bench free of waste materials
Check that the logs to be split are free from nails or wire, which may fl y up or damage the machine. the ends of the logs must be cut square.
branches must be cut off fl ush with the trunk.
Never try to split logs larger than those indicated in fi g. 2. This could be dangerous and may damage the machine.
Break wood in the direction of the grain. do not place wood across the log splitter and leave it in that position for splitting; it may be dangerous
and may seriously damage the machine.
Never attempt to cut two logs at once; one may fl y up and hit you.
If the log moves away from the blade, retract the ram or the blade and turn the log through 90°.
Do not attempt to load the log in the log splitter while the ram is in motion: you could get trapped and injured.
Keep your hands well away from any splits and cracks which open in the log; these may close suddenly and crush or amputate your fi ngers.
Do not force the blade by pushing the log on the upper part (fi g.9), as this can cause the blade to break or damage the body of the machine.
Always set the log on the guides.
Never try to release a jammed log while the machine is running. The machine must be switched off during this operation.
Never request the assistance of another person to help you remove a jammed log.
Never leave the machine unattended while it is running. If you leave the machine, even for a short time, remove the power supply or any possible
cause of accidental start-up.
The log splitter must never be used by an operator who is under the infl uence of alcohol, drugs, medicines, or who is tired. A clear mind is essential
for safety.
Do not use alcohol, petrol, or solvents to clean the machine. This could cause the safety information applied to the machine itself to become illegible.
3.1.A - For machines with electric motor (TURBO 8 E)
Do not use machines with electric motor if natural gas, petrol fumes or other infl ammable vapours are present.
Check that the electric circuit to which the machine will be connected is suitable. Power, voltage and frequency of the motor
must be checked (verify the nameplate on the motor and the data in this manual). The machine must be connected to a circuit with a regulation
differential switch upstream and, in compliance with the norms (30 mA rated fault current), with a ground connection.
Use cables with a section of 2.5 mm2. Avoid use of free and inadequately insulated connections. Connections must be made with protected
material suitable for outdoor use.
Do not use cable extensions longer than 5 mt.: too long cables or cables with inadequate
section may cause voltage drops and don’t allow the motor to develop all the power.
Always check the cable extension for any damage before using it.
Never open the pushbutton box on the motor. Should this be necessary, contact a qualifi ed electrician.
Make sure that the machine and the cable never come in contact with water.
To prevent accidental start-up, ensure that the switch is “off” before plugging in the power cable.
Treat the power cable with care. do not attempt to move the machine by pulling the cable. do not yank the cable to unplug it; keep the cable away
from excessive heat, oil and sharp objects.
Never leave the machine unattended with the power supply “on”. After use, always switch the machine off and disconnect it from the power supply,
especially when any maintenance work is required.
3.1.B - For machines with premium graded fuel engine (TURBO 8 B&S - TURBO 8 HONDA)
Take the necessary precautions against fi re when working in dry areas.
Do not smoke while working or refuelling.
Never refuel the log splitter while it is running. switch the engine off and leave it to cool. fi ll with fuel taking care that the tank does not overfl ow.
wipe off any traces of petrol before starting up. Handle fuel with care.
Never touch the engine or the exhaust pipe as they become very hot and may cause burns.
WARNING
DO NOT START THE ENGINE IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE; EXHAUST FUMES ARE LETHAL.
