cation.   A moment of inattention while operating 

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always 

wear eye protection.  Protective equipment such 

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or 

hearing protection used for appropriate conditions 

will reduce personal injuries.

c)  Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the 

switch is in the off-position before connecting 

to power source and/or battery pack, picking 

up or carrying the tool.  Carrying power tools 

with your finger on the switch or energising power 

tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before 

turning the power tool on.   A wrench or a key 

left attached to a rotating part of the power tool 

may result in personal injury.

e)  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and 

balance at all times.   This enables better control 

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f)  Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves 

away from moving parts.   Loose clothes, jewelle-

ry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of 

dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure 

these are connected and properly used.   Use of 

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Use and treatment of electric tools
a)  Do not force the power tool. Use the correct po

-

wer tool for your application.   The correct power 

tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for 

which it was designed. 

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not 

turn it on and off.   Any power tool that cannot be 

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must 

be repaired.

c)  Disconnect the plug from the power source 

and/or the battery pack from the power tool 

before making any adjustments, changing 

accessories, or storing power tools.   Such pre-

ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting 

the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of child

-

ren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with 

the power tool or these instructions to operate 

the power tool.   Power tools are dangerous in the 

hands of untrained users.

e)  Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment 

or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts 

and any other condition that may affect the po-

wer tool’s operation. If damaged, have the pow-

er tool repaired before use.   Many accidents are 

caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f)  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.   Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits 

etc. in accordance with these instructions, 

taking into account the working conditions and 

the work to be performed.   Use of the power 

tool for operations different from those intended 

could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified 

repair person using only identical replacement 

parts.  This will ensure that the safety of the power 

tool is maintained.

Safety Instructions

Using the wood splitter may lead to some hazards. 

Therefore, the machine may only be handled by 

instructed and experienced persons. 
Wear suitable protective clothing such as sturdy 

shoes with non-slip sole, robust long trousers, 

gloves, safety glasses and hearing protection! Do 

not wear loose clothing or jewels. Hear, clothing and 

gloves must be out of reach of moving parts as they 

could get caught by the rotating parts. Do not use 

the appliance when barefooted or in open sandals.
In the event of a blockage, switch off the machine 

immediately. Disconnect the power plug and remo-

ve the jammed piece of wood.
Mains Connection

WARNING! Electric shock! There is a risk of 

an injury caused by electric shock! 

Operation is only allowed with a safety 

switch against stray current (RCD max. stray 

current of 30mA).

Check the voltage. Technical data given on the type 

label must correspond with electric network voltage.
Insert the plug of the electrical cable in a socket of 

suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying 

with current regulations.
Only for 400 volt machines: It is essential to respect 

the engine rotation direction (see the arrow on the 

engine) as operation in wrong direction would da-

mage the oil pump. Warranty claims cannot apply in 

such a case. Change the rotation direction by turning 

the connector polarity if necessary.
