inadequately insulated connections. Connections must be made
EN
with protected material suitable for outdoor use.
Avoid electrical shock.
Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it
corresponds with the power, voltage and frequency of the motor.
Check that there is a ground connection, and a regulation differential
switch upstream. Ground the log splitter. Prevent body contact
with grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator
enclosures. Never open the switch / plug box. Should this be
necessary, contact a qualified electrician. Make sure your fingers do
not touch the plug's metal prongs when plugging or unplugging the
log splitter. Avoid excessive bending and twisting of the connection
between the power cord of the British plug and the junction box.
Prevent fires.
Do not smoke or have open flames when operating or refilling the
log splitter. Never operate the log splitter near a flame or spark. Oil is
flammable and can cause an explosion.
Keep bystanders away.
Allow only one person to load and operate the log splitter. Always
keep bystanders, including visitors, children and pets away from the
work area, especially when the log splitter is under operations. Only
the operator should stand near the machine and only within the safe
operating area prescribed in this manual. Never use another person
to help you with freeing a jammed log. No one under the age of 16
should be allowed to operate the log splitter. Any individual under
the age of 18 should have the necessary training & skills to perform
the functions properly and safely and should always be under the
supervision of an adult.
Inspect your log.
Never attempt to split logs containing nails, wire or debris. Always
make sure that both ends of the log you are splitting are cut as square
as possible. This will prevent the log from sliding out of position while
under pressure. Branches must be cut off flush with the trunk.
Don't overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Never stand on the log
splitter. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting
tools are unintentionally contacted. Do not store anything above or
near the log splitter where anyone might stand on the tool to reach
them.
Avoid injury from unexpected accident.
Do not straddle or reach across the splitting area when operating
the log splitter. Never pile logs to be split in a manner that will cause
you to reach across the log splitter. Only use your hands to operate
the control levers. Never use your foot, knee, a rope, or any other
extension device. Always pay full attention to the movement of the
wedge ram. Never attempt to load your log splitter while the ram is
in motion. Keep hands out of the way of all moving parts. Never try
to split two logs on top of each other. One of them may fly up and
hit you.
Protect your hands.
When the ram of the log splitter is in the return mode, keep your
hands off the machine – the log splitter is designed to automatically
stop when the cylinder is fully retracted. Keep your hands away from
splits and cracks which open in the log. They may close suddenly
and crush or amputate your hands. Do not remove jammed logs with
your hands.
Don't force tools.
It will do a better and safer job at its design rate. Don't use log splitter
for a purpose for which it was not intended. Do not, under any
MANUAL GTL8000 230 V & 400 V - NL-EN-FR-DE - D09-LS8000-11
circumstances, alter your log splitter. This equipment was designed
and engineered to be used in accordance with the operating
instructions. Altering the equipment, or using the equipment in such
a way as to circumvent its design capabilities and capacities, could
result in serious or fatal injury and will void the warranty. Never try to
split logs larger than those indicated in the specifications table. This
could be dangerous and may damage the machine.
Never leave tool running unattended.
Don't leave tool until it has come to a complete stop.
Disconnect power.
Unplug when not in use, before making adjustments, changing parts,
cleaning, or working on the log splitter. Consult technical manual
before servicing.
Maintain your log splitter with care.
Always clean the unit after each use. Keep the log splitter clean for
best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating.
Inspect all hydraulic seals, hoses and couplers for leaks prior to use.
Control levers and power switch must be kept clean, dry and free
from oil and grease at all times.
Protect the environment.
Take used oil to an authorized collection point or follow the
stipulations in the country where the log splitter is used. Do not
discharge into drains, soil or water.
Make the workshop childproof.
Lock the shop. Store the log splitter away from children and others
not qualified to use it.
3.2 SPECIAL WARNINGS & INSTRUCTIONS
The splitting operation of the machine is designed to be
activated by one person. While there is the possibility that
additional operators could be working with the machine (e.g.
for loading and unloading), only one operator should activate
splitting operations.
The machine shall not be used by children.
Read the functional description of the machine.
Before each use, check if all parts, e.g. the two-hand control, are
installed and maintained correctly.
Never attempt to remove a log which has got stuck on the
wedge by hand. Lower the wedge until the log is completely split.
If a log becomes stuck on the wedge at the bottom position,
press the handle with one hand and turn off the machine with the
other hand. Slightly knock the log by hammer to free it.
Only qualified person can assemble the machine.
