GENERAL SAFETY AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
When
using
agricultural
machinery
and
equipment, you should take into account basic
safety precautions to avoid the risk of fire, electric shock
and personal injury.
Always read the safety, operating and
maintenance instructions before you start
operating your log splitter. Keep the instruction manual
for future reference.
General
It is your responsibility to follow these preventive
measures in order to ensure your own safety. Always
use the log splitter carefully and responsibly. In using
the appliance, you accept full responsibility for any
accidents caused to third parties or their goods during
its use.
Individuals who have not read the instruction manual
must not use the log splitter including its attached
accessories. Before using the log splitter for the first
time, users should be instructed by the seller or any
other qualified person on how to use it. Users must
ensure they are instructed adequately and practically.
The instruction manual is considered an integral part of
the log splitter and must always be made available
alongside the product.
Familiarize yourself with the control devices and usage
of the log splitter. In particular, the user must know how
to quickly stop the appliance.
Do not use the agricultural equipment if you are not
both physically and mentally well. Do not use it while
you are tired or under the influence of medication,
drugs or alcohol. If you have a health problem, ask your
doctor if it is safe for you to use the log splitter before
doing so.
Never allow the log splitter to be used by children,
individuals with limited physical, sensory or mental
abilities, individuals with lack of experience and
knowledge of the log splitter, or others unfamiliar with
the use instructions.
The log splitter may only be used as stated in this
instruction manual. Any other use, which may be
dangerous and may cause injury to the user or damage
to the log splitter, is not permitted.
For safety reasons, any alteration to the log splitter
other than installing accessories specifically authorized
by the manufacturer, is prohibited. The warranty on
your log splitter will be voided if you alter it in any way.
You may get information on authorized accessories
from your official VITO dealer.
Clothing and personal protective equipment
While operating, always wear resistant footwear with
a non-slip sole that fully covers the foot.
During maintenance and cleaning tasks, changing
accessories as well as transporting the appliance,
always wear tight gloves.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Clothing worn
must be adequate, tight and closed, for example, a
work boiler suit. Do not use scarves, ties, hanging ropes
or other similar large pieces of clothing.
Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
The moving parts may touch or drag the hair or clothes
which may result in serious injuries.
Log splitter transport
Do not carry the log splitter with the electric motor
running. Allow the electric motor the cool down before
carrying the appliance.
The appliance should always be loaded by two people,
respecting the point hitches. Use suitable loading
equipment (cargo ramps, lifting devices).
Protect the appliance and its parts carried on the cargo
surface with properly sized means of attachment
(straps, cables, etc.). Always secure the log splitter
when transporting it.
Carry the appliance with a suitable trailer or on a
suitable cargo surface, and not inside the car (e.g. car
trunk).
When carrying the log splitter, regional legislation in
force must be respected, in particular the ones
concerning the cargo’s protection and the transport of
objects on cargo surfaces.
