* The diameter of the <strong>log</strong> is indicative: a small <strong>log</strong> can be difficult to split if it has<br />
knobs or a particularly tough fible. On the other hand, it may not be difficult to split<br />
<strong>log</strong>s with regular fibers even if its diameter exceeds the max. figure indicated in the<br />
above technical data.<br />
It is important not to insist when the <strong>log</strong> does not split on the first attempt,<br />
as the pump may be damaged by the overheating of the oil when the<br />
machine is made to work under the maximum stress in the attempt to split<br />
excessively hard wood.<br />
3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS<br />
Important: please read and observe the following safety instructions before<br />
using the machine.<br />
Never attempt to tamper with the protections of the <strong>log</strong> <strong>splitter</strong> or to operate<br />
the machine without these.<br />
Always follow up the safety regulations as follows to avoid injuries,<br />
damages or accidents:<br />
• The machine must always be used by one operator only.<br />
• Nobody must be allowed to use the <strong>log</strong> <strong>splitter</strong> unless they have read the<br />
instruction manual and have been instructed in the regulations to follow for<br />
correct and safe use.<br />
• The machine must be used by adults only. Use of the <strong>log</strong> <strong>splitter</strong> by apprentices<br />
of not less than 16 years of age must be supervised by an adult authorised to<br />
use the machine.<br />
• Keep children and visitors away from the working area.<br />
• Do not wear loose clothing or neckties that can get caught in moving parts.<br />
Wear safety goggles at all times. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear<br />
protective hair covering to contain long hair.<br />
• Do not use the <strong>log</strong> <strong>splitter</strong> in wet or damp areas or expose the machine to rain.<br />
• Do not use the machine in areas where fumes from paint, solvents or<br />
flammable liquids pose a potential hazard.<br />
• It is prohibited to work with the machine on the ground. This is not only an<br />
uncomfortable working position, but it can also be dangerous because the<br />
operator has to bring his face close to the machine, and thus risks being struck<br />
by chips or debris.<br />
• Put the <strong>log</strong> <strong>splitter</strong> on a 60-75 cm high, stable, flat and level work bench<br />
where there is plenty of room for handling and help the operator stay allert. Bolt<br />
the <strong>log</strong> <strong>splitter</strong> to the work surface if it tends to slip, walk or slide. Keep your<br />
work area clean and well lighted.<br />
• Check that the <strong>log</strong>s to be split are free from nails or wire, which may fly up or<br />
damage the machine.<br />
