Safety Instructions

Electrical connection
WARNING! Electric shock! There is a risk of
an injury caused by electric shock!
Operation is only allowed with a safety
switch against stray current (RCD max. stray
current of 30mA).
Check the voltage. Technical data given on the type
label must correspond with electric network voltage.
Insert the plug of the electrical cable in a socket of
suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying
with current regulations.
Only for 400 volt machines: It is essential to respect
the engine rotation direction (see the arrow on the
engine) as operation in wrong direction would da-
mage the oil pump. Warranty claims cannot apply in
such a case. Change the rotation direction by turning
the connector polarity if necessary.
Pursuant to the provisions of „CE" professional
associations, etc., all splitters are fitted with an
undervoltage release in the switch. This will prevent
accidental repeated starting in case of current inter-
ruption due to power failure, accidental unplugging,
defective fuse, etc. The machine must necessarily be
turned on again by repeated pressing of the green
switch.
Wilful holding or blocking of the switch, unless being
a neutral, will automatically lead to switch failure.
IThe warranty will not apply in such a case that must
naturally be checked.
• The machine meets the EN 61000-3-11 require-
ments and is subject to special connection condi-
tions. That means that a use on optional points of
connection is not allowed.
• The machine may cause temporary voltage fluctua-
tion in adverse conditions.
• The machine has only been designed to be used on
points of connection not exceeding the maximum
allowable network impedance Zmax = 0.233 Ω.
• As a user, you must make sure, after consultation
with your energy provider, if necessary, that your
point of connection on which the machine is to be
operated meets the requirements above.
Working area
For safe wood splitting, it is essential that the wor-
king area is flat and slip-resistant and that a sufficient
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.
Work preparation
Before putting the machine into operation, working
of the safety guards (two-lever operation system, in
particular) must be checked.
• Put both control levers down and the splitter knife
down, app. 5 cm above the desk.
• One control lever to be released at all times, with
the splitter knife remaining in the selected position.
CAUTION! Whenever the machine is to be put into
operation, make sure the splitter desk is firmly and
safely fitted to the machine.
operation
Power supply must be interrupted by pressing the
red button on the switch and unplugging the machi-
ne for any repair or servicing work or when leaving
the wood splitter. Turning to the Off position is not
enough to interrupt the power supply.
Using the wood splitter may lead to some hazards.
Therefore, the machine may only be handled by
instructed and experienced persons. The operator
must wear close-fitting clothing and safety shoes.

Residual risks

Dry and dried-up wood may jump up when
being split and injure the face of the operator.
Adequate protective clothes to be worn!
Wooden pieces produced during splitting
may fall down and injure legs of the operator.
