The log splitter must only be used for splitting logs.
Only straight-cut logs are suitable for use with the log
splitter.
Foreign bodies (nails, wire, concrete etc.) must always be
removed from the wood before it is split.
Every other form of use is considered improper use. The
manufacturer accepts no liability for any damages result-
ing from improper use, and any risk is in this case borne
solely by the user.

Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if
the relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the
design determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety information"
and the "Intended usage" as well as the whole of the operat-
ing instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will
reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equip-
ment.
Failure to observe the safety precautions can lead to injury
to the operator or damage to property.
Carelessness, failure to comply with the safety regulations
and incorrect use can result in injuries to your hands and
fingers when the splitting blade is moving.
Risk from electricity, by using non-standard electrical
connections.
Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist.
