space for moving is provided. To take the wood
splitter to your home, it is necessary there are no
obstacles in the way, i.e. no risk of tripping. Adequate
lighting of the working area needs to be provided.

horizontal and flat surface and the floor around the
machine must be flat, well-maintained and with no
waste, such as sawdust and cuttings.
The machine must be secured to the ground with
suitable fasteners. (e.g. ground nails)
The machine may only be used if it is fully assembled.
Operation of a machine that is not fully assembled is
strictly prohibited.
The machine may only be operated with a PTO shaft if
it is safely connected to a three-point linkage.
