at the time of publication. We reserve the right to make changes without prior notice and without
obligation to make alterations to components previously manufactured.
The procedures described in this manual are intended to help you get the most from your machine as
well as to protect you and others from harm. These procedures are guidelines for safe operation under
most conditions, and are not intended to replace any safety rules and/or laws that may be in force in
your country / area.
25. Residual risks
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.
The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool's construction and design.
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.
- 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
sharp edges. Do not pull the cable to remove the plug from the socket.
- Check extension cable regularly and replace it as soon as you notice any damage.
- Never use a defective supply cable / extension cord.
- Use only extension cords approved for outdoors use, if necessary.
- Never use provisional electrical connections.
- Do not short-circuit safety equipment and never switch them off.
 All electrical connections or repairs on electrical parts of the machine must be carried out by a
certified electrician or an authorised service centre. Local regulations, particularly with regard
to protective measures must be observed.
 Repairs to other parts of the machine must be performed by the manufacturer or a its authorised
service centre.
 Only use original spare parts or accessories. The use of other parts and other accessories may
cause risk of injury to the user and releases the manufacturer's liability for any damage
incurred.
