Resetting of the thermal cut-out motor
In the case of machines with electric motor, a protection device applied to the motor and integrated
in the main on/off switch is tripped in the case of overloads, sudden increases in voltage or accidental
faults in the electrical system. In this case, before calling your supplier, wait a few minutes and then
try to reset the main on/off switch. If the problem does not re-occur, the Log Splitter can be used
normally. If the cut-out is tripped again, do not try to reset it and contact your supplier.
