EXTENSION CORDS: Improper use of extension cords
may cause inefficient operation of the log splitter which
can result in overheating. Be sure the extension cord is no
longer than 10m and its section is no less than 2.5mm
allow sufficient current flow to the motor.
Avoid use of free and inadequately insulated connections.
Connections must be made with protected material suitable
for outdoor use.
AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Check that the electric
circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with
the power, voltage and frequency of the motor. Check that
there is a ground connection, and a regulation differential
switch upstream.
Ground the log splitter. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces: pipes,
enclosures.
Never open the push button box on the motor. Should this
be necessary, contact a qualified electrician.
Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug's metal prongs
when plugging or unplugging the log splitter.
AVOID BURNS: Avoid contact with hot oil, exhaust fumes
and hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or exhaust, these
parts get extremely hot from operation and remain hot for
a time after the unit is turned off. Allow the engine to cool
before doing maintenance or adjustment.
PETROL ENGINE: DO NOT operate the log splitter in an
enclosed area. The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide
an odourless and deadly gas. Operate this unit only in a well
ventilated area.
Always stop the engine before moving the machine. Do not
alter or adjust any part of the machine or engine that is
sealed by the manufacturer or distributor. Always check
before use, as specified in the manufacturers handbook.
