SPECIAL WARNINGS RELATING TO THE USE OF THE WOOD
SPLITTER
Special types of danger can arise during the use of this
powerful machine. Take particular care to protect both
yourself and all other persons in the vicinity.
Hydraulic system
Never use the machine if there is ever any danger from
hydraulic fluid. Check for leaks in the hydraulic
system every time before you start using the machine.
Check that the machine and your work area are
clean and free of any patches of oil: Hydraulic fluid may
be the cause of danger because it can cause you to slip
and fall, may make your hands slip while operating the
machine or may cause a fire.
Mechanical hazards
Wood splitting is associated with particular mechanical
hazards. Never use this machine if you are not wearing
proper safety gloves, shoes with steel caps and certified
eye protection. Be cautious of splinters generated while
working; avoid stab­like injuries and the possibility of the
machine seizing up.
Never attempt to split any trunks which are either too
long or too small and do not fit in the machine
properly. Never attempt to split any trunks which contain
nails, wire or any other objects. Clear up while you work;
collections of split wood and wood chips can make your
work area dangerous. Never continue working if your work
area is full to the extent that you could slip, trip or fall
over. Keep onlookers well away from the machine and ne­
ver permit unauthorized persons to operate the machine.
