Use only rubber-sheathed cables of quality
H05RN-F according to DIN 57282, Part 817 /
VDE 0282, Part 817 with a rubber-coated
plug connector and a conductor cross section
of at least 1.5 mm² (230 V: 3 x 1.5 mm²,
400 V: 5 x 1.5 mm²). The cable must not be
of a lighter type.
For the United Kingdom only: rubber-
sheathed cables of type BS 6500 (1984), Ta-
ble 16 PVC 3 core flex, 300/500 V HOS VV-F
with a rubber-coated plug connector and a
13 A fuse.
■
The maximum permissible cable length is
50 m. A longer cable impairs the motor power
and hence the performance and function of
the log splitter.
■
Mains cable, mains plug and coupling socket
must be undamaged. A defective mains ca-
ble (e.g. with cracks/fractures, cuts, crushed
or kinked points in the insulation) must not be
used.
■
Check the condition of your mains cable each
time prior to use.
■
Protect the mains cable from heat and sharp
edges. Do not expose plug connectors to
moisture.
■
Do not pull on the mains cable to remove the
mains plug from the socket.
■
If the mains cable is damaged, immediately
disconnect it from the mains.
■
Repairs to the mains cable, mains plug and
coupling socket may only to be carried out by
qualified electricians.
