22. Make sure that the machine and the cable never come in contact with water.
23. Treat the power cable with care, do not attempt to move the machine by
pulling the cable, do not yank the cable to unplug it; keep the cable away from
excessive heat, oil and sharp objects.
24. Never leave the machine unattended with the power supply "on", also
disconnect the power cable when not in use, when carrying out maintenance
work, when changing attachment or moving the machine.
25. Before starting work, hydraulic pipes and hoses shall be inspected and the
stopping devices shall be tested.
26. Keep the working area free from obstructions, e.g. logs, split wood etc.
27. Stop the machine before cleaning or making adjustments.
28. The hazards may arise from particular characteristics of wood when being split
(e.g. knots, logs of irregular shape etc.)
Electrical Safety
WARNING! Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on
the rating plate.
WARNING! Connect the main leads to a standard 230V±10% (50Hz±1Hz)
electrical supply which has protection devices of under-voltage,
over-voltage, over-current as well as a residual current device (RCD) which
maximum residual current rated at 30mA.
Replacing cables or plugs
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by
new ones. It is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.
Using extension cables
1. As a supply for this machine always use an unloaded line and/or extension
with conductor of at least 2.5mm
this extension cable is not longer than 10 meters. Excessively long cables or
inadequate section can cause voltage drops that prevent motor from
developing its full power.
2. Only connect your machine and/or extension cable to earthed electricity
mains.
Grounding
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock. Use switch socket with grounding please.
