SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
additional
This log splitter shall be operated by a single person
only. Never allow that two or more persons operate this
log splitter.
The machine may only be operated by persons over the
age of 18 years, and who have read and understood these
operating instructions.
Wear protective equipment (safety mask, gloves, safety
shoes) to protect yourself from possible injury.
Never try to split logs containing nails, wire or other similar
objects.
Already split wood and wood chips create a dangerous
working area. The operator may stumble, slip or fall.
Always keep the working area neat and tidy.
Never place the hands on or near any moving parts of the
machine when it is switched on. Maintain a safe distance
from the log, the ram and the wedge in order to protect
your hands from injury.
Only split wood that corresponds to the dimensions to be
processed.
What type of logs can I split?
Dimensions of the logs to be split
Length:
Diameter:
The log diameter is a recommended guideline figure, because:
− thin logs can be difficult to split if they contain knots or if
the fibres are too strong.
Do not try to split green logs. Dry logs are much easier to split,
and do not cause jams as often as green (damp) wood.
