Special safety instructions for this machine
When using milling tools with a diameter of ≥ 16 mm and circular saw blades, these must
comply with EN 847-1:2013 and EN 847-2:2013; tool carriers must comply with EN 847-
3:2013.
Excessive noise can cause hearing damage and temporary or permanent hearing loss. Wear
hearing protection certified to health and safety regulations to limit noise exposure.
Replace cracked and deformed saw blades immediately, they cannot be repaired.
Use saw blades that are clean and sharpened, they are less prone to failure and are easier to
guide.
Never attempt to cut logs that contain nails, wire or debris. Branches must be cut flush with
the trunk.
Always maintain a secure standing position and balance. Never stand on the machine. Serious
injury can occur if the machine tips over or if the cutting tool is accidentally touched. Do not
keep objects above or near the machine that someone could stand on to reach the machine.
Do not attempt to load or unload logs until the machine has stopped.
Do not remove residual pieces or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area while the
machine is running, unless you use a push stick.
Keep your hands away from all moving parts.
Do not grasp around the saw blade with both hands while the machine is running.
Avoid awkward cutting operations and hand positions where a sudden slippage could cause
your hand to get caught at the saw blade.
Never deposit logs to be split in such a way that you have to reach over the machine.
Operate the control handle with your hands only. Never use your foot, knee or any other
extension tool.
Never attempt to free a jammed saw blade without first turning off the machine.
