Additional SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS<br />
� The log splitter may only be operated by a single person.<br />
� The machine may only be operated by persons over the<br />
age of 18 years, and who have read and understood<br />
these operating instructions.<br />
� Wear protective equipment (safety goggles/mask, gloves,<br />
safety shoes) to protect yourself from possible injury.<br />
� Never try to split logs containing nails, wire or other<br />
similar objects.<br />
� Already split wood and wood chips create a dangerous<br />
working area. The operator may stumble, slip or fall.<br />
Always keep the working area neat and tidy.<br />
� Never place the hands on or near any moving parts of the<br />
machine when it is switched on. Maintain a safe distance<br />
from the log, the ram and the wedge in order to protect<br />
your hands from injury.<br />
� The machine should only be used for splitting logs with a<br />
maximum length of 1300 mm.<br />
� � Check before splitting if the splitting column has<br />
been sufficiently lubricated to allow its trouble-free<br />
retraction and extension.
