SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
Put the log splitter on a 60–75 cm high, stable, flat, and level work bench where there is
plenty of room for handling, and help the operator stay altert. Bolt the log splitter to the
work surface if it tends to slip, walk, or slide.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with the pow-
er, voltage and frequency of the motor. Check that there is a ground connection, and a regu-
lation differential switch upstream. Ground the log splitter. Mark sure your fingers do not
touch the plug’s metal prongs when plugging or unplugging the log splitter. Never open the
pushbutton box on the motor. Should this be necessary, contact a qualified electrician.
INSPECT YOUR LOG
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in logs to be split. The ends of the logs must
be cut square. Branches must be cut of flush with the trunk.
