• m WARNING! Never remove a trunk that is caught
in the wedge by hand.
• m WARNING! Disconnect the machine from the
drive shaft before undertaking any maintenance
work described in this manual.
• Store these instructions safely! Moving machine
parts. Do not reach into the splitting area.
• Never press the log splitter with cylinder pressure
for longer than 5 seconds to split excessively hard
wood. Overheated oil can damage the machine
under pressure. Stop the machine and try split-
ting the trunk again after turning the trunk 90°.
If the wood can still not be split, this means that the
hardness of the wood exceeds the capacity of the
machine and it must be discarded so that the log
splitter is not damaged.
• When splitting, the properties of the wood (e.g.
growths, trunk slices of irregular shape, etc.) can
result in hazards such as ejecting parts, splitter
blocking, and crushing.
m WARNING!
The use of this powerful product may cause particu-
lar hazards. Ensure that you and the persons in your
surroundings are safe.
Basic safety precautions must always be followed in
order to reduce the risk of injuries and hazards.
6. Additional safety instructions
• The log splitter may only be operated by a single
person.
• Wear protective equipment (safety goggles/visor,
gloves, safety shoes, hearing protection) to safe-
guard yourself against possible injury.
• 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 104 cm.
Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the
state-of-the-art and the recognised technical
safety requirements. However, individual residu-
al risks can arise during operation.
• Danger of injury for fingers and hands from the
splitting tool in the event of improper guiding or
support of the wood.
• Injuries due to the workpiece being ejected at high
speed due to improper holding or guiding.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main.
28 | GB
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety in-
structions" and the "Proper use" are observed

• Avoid accidental start-ups of the machine.
• Use the tool that is recommended in this operating
manual. This is how to ensure that your machine
provides optimum performance.
• Keep your hands away from the working area when
the machine is in operation.
