Electrical safety
Electrical connections must conform to IEC 60245 (H 07
RN-F) with a cable cross-section of at least
⇒
400 V 3~
5 x 2.5 mm² for a maximum cable length of up to 10 m
(3P + N + PE)
Never use the machine with a power supply cable of over
10 m in length. Longer power supply cables will cause a
drop in voltage. The motor will not be able to provide its
maximum performance and the operation of the machine
will be impaired.
When laying the connecting attachments, be sure that
they do get crushed or bent, and that the plug-and-socket
connection does not get wet.
Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not
meant. Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp
edges. Do not use the cable to pull the plug from the
socket.
Regularly check the extension cables and replace them if
they are damaged.
Do not use any defective connection cables.
When working outdoors, only use extension cables espe-
cially approved and appropriately labelled for outdoor
use.
Do not set up any provisional electrical connections.
Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them.
The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts
of the machine must be carried out by a certified electri-
cian or one of our customer service points. Local regula-
tions – especially regarding protective measures – must
be observed.
Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried
out by the manufacturer or one of his customer service
points.

Use only original spare parts, accessories and special
accessory parts. Accidents can arise for the user
through the use of other spare parts. The manufac-
turer is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from
such action.

Move the splitting blade right down every time before
the machine is transported.
To transport the machine, grasp the strap on the splitting
column with one hand and tilt the log splitter slightly towards
you. The log splitter can be easily transported in this position.

no danger of slipping
−
level
−
free of obstacles
−
sufficiently well lit
Do not operate the machine in the direct vicinity of gas or
petrol pipes or containers, or any other easily inflammable

−
there are no damage at the machine
−
all screws are tight
−
check the hydraulic system for any possible leaks
−
the oil level
