WARNING! Connect the main leads to a
standard 240V±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
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when they have been replaced by new ones.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
2
and
protected with a 20A fuse. Be sure that
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 an earthed electricity
mains.
3. This machine can be switched to the
single-phase network (240V/50Hz), if you
are in doubt about the earth of the
electricity provisions, consult an electrician
first.
Grounding
In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance to disperse
electric current. This machine is equipped with
a power cord having a equipment-grounding
prong
1. Reduce the risk of electrocution by
keeping all connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch plugs with wet hands.
Failure to follow these warning could result
in serious injuries.
2. This machine must have a ground prong
in the plug to help ensure that it is
grounded. Do not remove ground prong
from plug to fit into a two-pronged outlet! If
the plug will not fit the outlet, have the
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
UNPACKING
WARNING!
To prevent accidental starting that
could cause possible serious personal injury,
assemble all parts to your log splitter before
connecting it to power supply. Log splitter
should never be connected to power supply
when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, installing or removing drill bit, or
when not in use.
z
Carefully remove all parts from the carton
and place the log splitter on a level work
surface of the height not less than 60cm.
Separate and check against the list of
loose parts.
WARNING!
If any parts are missing, do not
operate this machine until the missing parts
are replaced. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
z
Do not discard the packing materials until
you have carefully inspected the log
splitter, identified all parts, and
satisfactorily operated you new log
splitter.
