The machine must never be operated by more
than one operator.
•
Never attempt to split any trunks which are larger
than the recommended trunk capacity.
•
The trunks must be free of any nails or wire which
may be flung out or might damage the machine dur
-
ing operation.
•
The trunks must be cut flat at the ends and have
had all branches removed from them.
•
The wood must always be split along the direction
of the grain. Never insert the piece of wood cross
-
wise to the splitter and then attempt to split it as this
could damage the splitter
•
The operator must operate the machine controls
with both hands and must not use any other kind of
device as a substitute for the controls.
•
The machine may be operated only by adults who
have read the operating instructions prior to start
-
ing operation. No one is permitted to use the ma
-
chine without reading the manual first.
•
Never attempt to split two trunks in a single opera
-
tion as this may cause pieces of wood to be flung
out, which is dangerous.
•
Never add more wood or replace a piece of wood
while the machine is in the middle of an operation
as this would be extremely dangerous.

excessively hard pieces of wood under cylinder
pressure for more than 5 seconds. Overheated oil
under pressure may cause damage to the machine.
Stop the machine, turn the trunk through 90° and
then try to split it again. If the wood still fails to split
this means that it is too hard for the capacity of the
machine and must be removed to avoid damaging
the wood splitter.

-
ever you are not using it.

whilst you work. Extremely low and extremely high
ambient temperatures may cause malfunctions.

Before using the wood splitter for the first time,
users should be given practical training by an ex
-
perienced operator and should initially work with it
under supervision.

• Do all the functions of the tool function correctly?
•
Does all the safety equipment function correctly
(two-handed safety switch, ON/OFF switch)?

Never use the machine if there is ever any danger
from hydraulic fluid. Check for leaks in the hydraulic
system every time before you start using the machine.
Check that the machine and your work area are
clean and free of any patches of oil: Hydraulic fluid
may be the cause of danger because it can cause
you to slip and fall, may make your hands slip while
operating the machine or may cause a fire.
