4. CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF ELECTRIC
TOOLS
Do not overload your tool. Only use suitable electric
tools to perform your work. Using the right electric tool
allows you to work better and safer within the toolʼs
quoted capacity range.
Do not use an electric tool whose switch is defective.
An electric tool that no longer can be switched on or off
is dangerous and must be repaired.
Always pull the plug out of the socket outlet before
making any adjustments. Exchange accessory parts
or put away the tool. This precaution eliminates the
possibility of inadvertently starting the tool.
When not in use, store electric tools out of the reach
of children. Do not allow those persons to use this tool
who are unfamiliar with it or who have not read these
instructions. Electric tools are dangerous when they are
used by inexperienced persons.
Take good care of your tool. Check that moving parts
properly function and do not jam, that parts are not
broken off or damaged in any way and that the tool
can be used to its full capacity. Have damaged parts
repaired prior to using the tool.The cause of many
accidents can be traced back to poorly maintained
electric tools.
Keep your blades sharp and clean. Properly maintained
blades with sharp edges jam less frequently and are
easier to use.
Use electric tools and plug-in tools, etc. in compliance
with these instructions and in the manner that is
prescribed for the model at hand. In so doing, pay
due attention to working conditions and the job to be
performed. Using electric tools for applications other
than those intended can lead to dangerous situations.
If the power cable of the electric tool is damaged, it
must be replaced by a specially prepared connection
lead which can be obtained from the customer service
center.
5. SERVICE
Have your tool repaired only by authorized specialists
using original replacement parts. This will ensure that
your tool remains safe to use.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE WOOD
SPLITTER
Caution! Moving machine parts. Never reach into the
splitting zone.
WARNING:
The use of this powerful machine can give rise to
special types of danger. Take particular care to protect
both yourself and all other persons in the vicinity. You
should comply with basic precautionary measures at
all times in order to minimise the risk of injuries and
danger.
READ THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
YOU START TO USE THE MACHINE FOR THE FIRST
TIME.
The machine must never be operated by more than one
operator.
Never attempt to split any trunks which are larger than
the recommended trunk capacity. The trunks must be
free of any nails or wire which may be flung out or might
damage the machine during operation. The trunks
must be cut flat at the ends and have had all branches
removed from them. The wood must always be split
along the direction of the grain. Never insert the piece
of wood crosswise to the splitter and then attempt to
split it as this could damage the splitter.

The operator must operate the machine controls with
both hands and must not use any other kind of device
as a substitute for the controls.
The machine may be operated only by adults who
have read the operating instructions prior to starting
operation. No one is permitted to use the machine
without reading the manual first.
Never attempt to split two trunks in a single operation
as this may cause pieces of wood to be flung out, which
is dangerous.
Never add more wood or replace a piece of wood while
the machine is in the middle of an operation as this
would be extremely dangerous.
All persons and animals must be kept at least 5 meters
from the machine while it is working.
Never modify the protective equipment on the wood
splitter or carry out any work without such equipment
attached.
Never attempt to force the wood splitter to split
excessively hard pieces of wood under cylinder
pressure for more than 5 seconds. Overheated oil
under pressure may cause damage to the machine.
Stop the machine, turn the trunk through 90° and then
try to split it again. If the wood still fails to split this
means that it is too hard for the capacity of the machine
and must be removed to avoid damaging the wood
splitter.
Never leave the machine unattended while running.
Stop the machine and unplug the power plug whenever
you are not using it.
Never use the machine near natural gas, petrol
channels or other inflammable materials.
Never open the control box or the motor cover. If
necessary, contact a qualified electrician.
Make sure that the machine and the cable never come
into contact with water. Handle the power cable with
care and never pull or tug it with a jolt to unplug it. Keep
all cables away from excessive heat, oil and sharp-
edged objects.
Please take note of the temperature conditions whilst
you work. Extremely low and extremely high ambient
temperatures may cause malfunctions.
Before using the wood splitter for the first time, users
should be given practical training by an experienced
operator and should initially work with it under
supervision.
Before starting work check the following:
Do all the functions of the tool function correctly?
Does all the safety equipment function correctly (two-
handed safety switch, Emergency Stop switch)?
Can the tool be switched off correctly?
Is the tool adjusted correctly (truck support, trunk
holding plates, splitter height)?
Keep the working area free of obstructions (for example
pieces of wood) whilst working.
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.
