- Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of the log splitter which can result
in overheating. Be sure the extension cord is NOT longer than 10m and its section is no less than
2
2.5mm
to allow sufficient current flow through. Avoid use of free and inadequately insulated
connections. Connections must be made with protected material suitable for outdoor use.
- Inspect extension cords regularly and replace, if damaged.
19. Defective switches or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service centre. Do not use the product if the switch does not turn it on and off.
20. Warning:
- The use of any accessory or attachment, other than those recommended in this instruction manual,

- The user and/or operator are responsible for any damages or injury caused to properties and/or
persons.
21. Have your product repaired by qualified personnel
- Unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual, repairs or replacement of any damaged part
in an authorised service centre is recommended.
- This product is in accordance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried
out by qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable danger
to the user.
22. Remarks:
- The safety precautions and instructions given in this manual are unable to cover in detail all the
conditions and situations that may arise.
- The operator and/or user must use common sense and caution when operating the product especially
for any matters that are not referred in the above
23. Note:

25. Residual risks
- Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.
- Residual risks may be reduced when the user carefully follows the "safety instructions" and the use
of the product "in accordance with its intended purpose" as well as all instructions stated in this
manual.
- Awareness and caution reduce risk of injury and damage.
- Ignoring or omitting to follow the safety precautions may result in injury or damage.
- The log splitter may cause injury to hands or fingers whenever the user is careless, does not follow
the safety instructions or when he uses the machine for other purposes.
- Electric shock hazard when using non-compliant power cords or extension cords, or contact with
energized parts of opened electrical components.
- Spilled hydraulic oil may pose a risk of slipping for the operator and fire to wood debris.
- It is therefore possible that non apparent residual risks may persist although all protective measures
have been taken.
26. Electrical connection - Safety
- The supply line must be in accordance with IEC60245 (H07 RN-F) fitted with conductors having a
cross section of at least 2.5 mm² and a maximum length of 10m.
- Never use power lines or extension cords over 10m long. Longer supply lines cause a voltage drop.
The motor does not reach its maximum performance resulting in operation of the machine being
restricted.
- When installing the supply line, ensure that it is neither trapped nor compressed, or bent and that the
connector is not subject to moisture or falls in any liquid.
- Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not intended. Protect the cable against heat, oil and
