ENGLISH
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 apower tool if it is plugged in.
Makesure that theon/off switch is set to OFF before plugging in any powertool.
18. Usethecorrect extension leads. Ifyou use extension leads outdoors, only use those designed for outdoor
use. Onlyuse extension leads with thick enough diameter core wires 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/power tools when you are tired or under theinfluence of medicine.
20. Inspect thetool for damage. Beforestarting thetool, make sure that theguards and other parts are unda-
maged 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 atool if you cannot stop
or start thetool comfortably.
21. Useonly recommended accessories. Theuse of non-recommended accessories can cause accidents
and personal injury.
22. Repairs should only be carried out by aqualified repair person using genuine identical replacement parts.
23. Allpower tools should be connected to themains via aportable residual current device (PRCD).
Theproduct 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.
Specic safety instructions for log splitters
• The log splitter is only intended to be used by one operator at atime. Thelog splitter must not be operated
by more than one person at atime.
• Locate thelog splitter on dry, level ground which is not slippery.
• Make sure that branches are cut off flush with thelog before splitting.
• Save theinstruction manual, make sure that it accompanies thelog splitter if it is borrowed.
• Split wood in thedirection of thegrain. Donot attempt to split wood across thegrain.
• 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 6 tonnes.
• Tampering with thepressure settings can lead to diminished performance and damage to themachine and
result in serious person injury.
• Do not attempt to split two logs at thesametime.
• Never attempt to right aleaning log with your hand whilst theram is in motion. Stopthemachine and move
thelog so that it is standing vertically.
• Never attempt to hold alog with your hand whilst theram is in motion.
• If alog jams or fails to be split because it exceeds thecapacity of theram, release both control levers and let the
ram return to its original position, otherwise there is arisk that themotor will become damaged by overheating.
• 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 unaut-
horised person.
• Make sure that all thesafety features on thelog splitter are correctly fitted and functioning properly.
• 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 levers in bothhands.
• Keep your hands and fingers well away from theand splitting wedge. Whenoperating machines, always use
your common sense and be careful.
• Make sure that there are no bystanders or pets close to themachine, sharp splinters can be ejected by
theblade with greatforce.
• Connect thelog splitter to awall socket via anRCD.
• Never use thelog splitter in therain or wet conditions.
