INTRODUCTION

BELL® log splitters have been designed and manufactured in compliance with the most recent European safety regulations with particular reference
to the EN 609-1 and CEI EN 60204-1 standards.
The two-hands control systems, in fact, have been designed and engineered so that the operator is forced to work in the safety area, employing both
the hands, without any possibility of inserting hands or arms in dangerous areas.
This log splitter machine is produced in conformity with the specifications contained in the RoHs directive 2002/95/CE
