11. Never split any logs which contain nails, cables or dangerous foreign substances. Make sure
that always both ends of the log you are just processing are split as square as possible. This is
the only way to guarantee that the log will not be forced out of its vertical position, while
branches must have been cut off flush.
12. Never split any logs, whose dimensions are bigger than those specified under "Size of Logs".
Otherwise, injuries or irreparable damage to the machine will be the result.
13. Split the logs along the grain. Never place a log on this splitter crosswise to split it this way.
This could result in injuries and damage to the machine.
14. Never pile up the logs in order to process several logs at the same time. Parts of the wood could
be flung off into the air and hit you.
15. ONLY use your hands to operate the levers. Never use your feet, knees, a rope or similar means
to operate the levers. Continuously concentrate on the movements of the splitting blade. Ne
ver try to load the log splitter while its splitting blade is in motion. Do not put your hands in the
vicinity of the moving parts of this machine.
16. Protect your hands. Never bring your hands in the vicinity of any gaps opening in the log as
these may close in a matter of seconds and crush or even cut off your hands. Do not remove
any jammed parts of a log with your hands. When the splitting blade of the log splitter is return
ing keep your hands off the machine, as this log splitter has been designed so that it will auto
matically stop once the cylinder has fully retracted.
17. Do not run this log splitter under full load for more than 5 seconds by keeping the cylinder
pressed, for example, or if you want to split a hard log. This would result in quick overheating of
the pressurized oil causing consequential damage to the machine. It is advisable to turn the log
90° and to try to split it at this position. If it is still impossible to split such log please dispose of
it instead of subjecting it to any further splitting process to avoid damage to the machine.
18. Do not press the splitting blade against the log. You could cause breakage of the blade or dam
age to the column.
19. Do not use the log splitter under any circumstances when you are under the influence of alco
hol, drugs or medications, or if you are tired.
20. This machine must never be used in damp or potentially explosive areas. Never use this ma
chine in rooms containing aggressive vapours (natural gas, petrol vapours or inflammable va
pours).
21. Never smoke while you are working on this machine and make sure that there are no open fire
sources or oil tanks in the vicinity of your working area.
22. Check whether your power supply circuit is efficiently fused and conforms with the properties of
the motor. Conformity with the power rating, the voltage and the frequency (refer to the values
indicated on the type label), earthing and a standard voltage transformer connected in series
are indispensable.
23. Never leave this machine unattended after you have powered it up, or while it is working. Keep
an eye on the machine until it has come to a complete standstill. Unplug the power cord when
you do not use this machine, or before you do any maintenance work, change the connections
and move the machine. Please read this User's Guide before doing any maintenance work.
24. Keep your workplace inaccessible to children. Lock your working room. Store your log splitter in
a room which is inaccessible to children and other persons who are not familiar with how to use
this machine.
