SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read before the start-up of the machine
These safety precautions are of general nature.
All other relevant safety and health regulations, traffic
regulations during transport and common laws must be adhered to when handling the machine. Adhering to
the rules and regulations will help to prevent accidents. Familiarize yourself carefully with the machine, with
its coupling to the power source, its control and monitoring equipment and with the instructions before the
installation and use of the firewood machine.
The machine may be operated only by a person who is
familiar with it and with the relevant operating instructions of the machine. The operator must be in
sound health, and it is prohibited to operate the machine under the influence of alcohol or any drugs.
Work site
-
The operator work position, when the machine is running, is by the blade feed
table (see picture A1 at page 146).
-
Select a level and firm work site.
-
Organize the site properly, keep it clean from unwanted materials.
-
Ensure free passages in the working area during the operation.
-
Ensure that the working area is not slippery.
-
Ensure adequate general lighting of the work site.
-
The Japa firewood machine is a one man operated machine.
Make sure that there are no other
people within the working site.
Personal protection and clothing
-
Wear appropriate clothing. The clothing must not contain projections or loose parts which could get
caught by the moving assemblies of the machine, thus causing accidents. Special clothing and
personal protection used for common forestry work is suitable also for firewood machine operations.
-
Use personal ear protection when the noise level exceeds 85 dB(A).
-
Eye protection or safety goggles prevent eye damages caused by flying chips which may otherwise
occur in spite of the appropriate guards.
-
Non-slippery safety boots prevent slipping and protect the operator from foot injuries.
-
Non-slippery gloves enable tight and firm grip even on a slippery piece of timber.
Emergency stop
The electric motor driven firewood machine is equipped with an emergency stop which, when pressed, will
stop all the machine functions. In tractor driven machines the emergency stop is arranged via a cord
connection from the firewood machine stop lever on the top of the machine to the tractor engine stop lever, or
to the PTO clutch control lever depending on tractor model in question. Make sure that the safety cord is
always within the reach of the operator and test the emergency stop system before starting to work with the
machine. The safety cord must be aligned in such a way that there is a clear sight all along the way of the
cord. Always, when there has been an emergency stop situation, inspect the machine carefully. The U-J shaft
drive must be uncoupled for the period of inspection. Before restarting of the machine, the safety cord must
be reconnected.
Note that the stopping of the splitter by the stop lever does not stop the rotation of
the chainsaw.
Hydraulics
Check, with engine running, the functioning of the hydraulic and stopping systems before commencing the
work. When the firewood machine is running, there is a high pressure in the hydraulic system.
Leaking high
pressure hydraulic oil can penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries.
There is a risk of an injury
even when tracing leaks in the system. In case of an injury, contact a doctor immediately (danger of
inflammation). Be careful with all hydraulic components. Use proper protections and accessories. Check the
hydraulic hoses on regular intervals and renew them if they are worn out or damaged.
