16. Remove all spanners and repairtools.
Make ahabit of checking to make sure that themachine is free of all spanners and tools before turning
thepoweron.
17. Avoid accidental starts.
Do not walk around with your finger on thetrigger of electric machinery if it is pluggedin. Makesure that
theON/OFF switch is set to OFF before plugging in any electric machinery.
18. Use thecorrect extensionleads.
If you use extension leads outdoors, only use those designed for outdooruse. Onlyuse extension leads with
adequate wire core area and roll out thewholelead.
19. Use common sense and be careful.
Think carefully before carrying out every action, so that it is carried out safely. Neveroperate machines when
you are tired, under theinfluence of medicineetc.
20. Inspect thetool for damage.
Before starting themachine, make sure that theguards and other parts are undamaged and working properly,
that moving parts can rotate freely and are correctly aligned, that no moving parts can get caught and that
there is no fault or defect that could affect theperformance of themachine. Asafety guard or any other part
that is damaged should be repaired by atradesman or replaced. Damaged power leads and switches must
always be replaced by atradesman. Neveroperate themachine if you cannot stop or start it comfortably.
21. Use only recommended accessories.
Theuse of non-recommended accessories can cause accidents or personal injury.
22. Should only be repaired by aqualified technician.
This machine conforms to current safety requirements. Repairs to themachine should only be carried out by
aprofessional using original spares; otherwise themachine could cause accidents or personal injury.
23. Electric machinery should be connected to themains via aResidual Current Device. Thiscan help
minimise therisk of anelectric shock in theevent of anearth fault or short circuit.
Themachine must not be modified or used for any other purpose than that for which it has been designed.
Regularly check that all screws and nuts are securely tightened.
1.2 Additional safety rules for log splitters
• Save theinstruction manual, make sure that it accompanies thelog splitter if it is borrowed.
• Read thewarning labels on thelog splitter and make sure that they are legible.
• Make sure that theelectrical socket you intend to use has thecorrect voltage (230 V) before connecting
thelog splitter.
• Never attempt to adjust theforce setting yourself. Thelog splitter is pre-set at thefactory for amaximum
splitting force of 4 tonnes. Tampering with thepressure settings can lead to diminished performance and
damage to themachine and result in serious person injury.
• Wear safety glasses, ear defenders and safety shoes if necessary.
• Always stand in such away that you can perform all work tasks whilst maintaining good balance and grip
thecontrol lever in one hand whilst pushing thepower button with theotherhand.
• Keep your hands and fingers well away from thepressure plate and use, as always when operating
machinery, your common sense and take care whilst working.
• Make sure that there are no bystanders or pets close to themachine, sharp splinters can be ejected with
greatforce.
• Switch off thelog splitter and disconnect it from themains supply whenever you take abreak and before
starting any maintenance procedures. Makesure that log splitter cannot be started by any children or
unauthorised person.
• Thelog splitter should be connected to themains via anRCD for extra safety.
• Never use thelog splitter in therain or wet conditions.
• Never use thelog splitter if thepower switch, plug, mains lead or any other part is damaged. Thedefective
part must be replaced by aqualified repair person.
• Keep thework area clean and tidy, make sure that thecooling of theelectric motor is not hindered by debris
blocking theair intake.
• Note: Loosen thethebleed screw (7) 3–4 turns, so that there is anoticeable flow of air when thelog splitter is in
operation, otherwise thegaskets in thehydraulic system could be damaged and render thelog splitter inoperable.
• Make sure that thenuts on theends of thepull rods are tight before operation, otherwise thelog splitter
could become damaged.
