WARNING The vibration emission level will vary because of the ways in which a power tool can be used and may increase above the level given in this information sheet.
The vibration emission level may be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
An accurate estimate of the vibratory load should also take into account the times when the tool is shut down or when it is running but not actually in use. This may significantly reduce the vibratory load over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
Read and understand the operating instructions before using the appliance. Abide by all the safety measures stated in the service manual. Act responsibly toward third parties. In case of any doubts about connection and operation refer please to our customer center

Specified Conditions Of Use

• The wood splitter has only been designed to split wood in the fibre direction. Respecting technical data and safety precautions.
• When splitting, it is essential to make sure the split wood only contacts the checkered sheet of the bottom plate or the checkered sheet of the splitting desk.
• It is essential to follow instructions for installation, operation, repairs, etc. to prevent hazards and damage.
• Please do not forget that this machine, as designed, is not intended for industrial use.
• Make sure there are no persons in the working area during operation or make sure such persons keep a sufficient safety distance.
• The wood splitter has been designed to be operated by 1 person. The machine must never be operated by two or more persons.
• Wood splitter being operated by two persons, with one holding a piece of wood and the other controlling the clamps is strictly prohibited.
• Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use. Not observing general regulations in force and instructions from this manual does not make the manufacturer liable for damages.

Safety Instructions

Electrical connection

WARNING! Electric shock! There is a risk of an injury caused by electric shock! Operation is only allowed with a safety switch against stray current (RCD max. stray current of 30mA).
Check the voltage. Technical data given on the type label must correspond with electric network voltage.
Insert the plug of the electrical cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying with current regulations.
Only for 400 volt machines: It is essential to respect the engine rotation direction (see the arrow on the engine) as operation in wrong direction would da- mage the oil pump. Warranty claims cannot apply in such a case. Change the rotation direction by turning the connector polarity if necessary.
Pursuant to the provisions of „CE“ professional associations, etc., all splitters are fitted with an undervoltage release in the switch. This will prevent accidental repeated starting in case of current inter- ruption due to power failure, accidental unplugging, defective fuse, etc. The machine must necessarily be turned on again by repeated pressing of the green switch.
Wilful holding or blocking of the switch, unless being a neutral, will automatically lead to switch failure. IThe warranty will not apply in such a case that must naturally be checked.

• The machine meets the EN 61000-3-11 require- ments and is subject to special connection condi- tions. That means that a use on optional points of connection is not allowed.
• The machine may cause temporary voltage fluctua- tion in adverse conditions.
• The machine has only been designed to be used on points of connection not exceeding the maximum allowable network impedance Zmax = 0.233 Ω.
• As a user, you must make sure, after consultation with your energy provider, if necessary, that your point of connection on which the machine is to be operated meets the requirements above.

Working area
For safe wood splitting, it is essential that the wor- king area is flat and slip-resistant and that a sufficient space for moving is provided. To take the wood splitter to your home, it is necessary there are no obstacles in the way, i.e. no risk of tripping. Adequate lighting of the working area needs to be provided.

Work preparation
Before putting the machine into operation, working of the safety guards (two-lever operation system, in particular) must be checked.

• Put both control levers down and the splitter knife down, app. 5 cm above the desk.
• One control lever to be released at all times, with the splitter knife remaining in the selected position.
  CAUTION! Whenever the machine is to be put into operation, make sure the splitter desk is firmly and safely fitted to the machine.

operation

Power supply must be interrupted by pressing the red button on the switch and unplugging the machi- ne for any repair or servicing work or when leaving the wood splitter. Turning to the Off position is not enough to interrupt the power supply.
Using the wood splitter may lead to some hazards. Therefore, the machine may only be handled by instructed and experienced persons. The operator must wear close-fitting clothing and safety shoes.

Residual risks Dry and dried-up wood may jump up when being split and injure the face of the operator. Adequate protective clothes to be worn!Wooden pieces produced during splitting may fall down and injure legs of the operator. When splitting wood, parts of body may be crushed or separated due to hydraulic knife lowering. There is a risk of branchy wood getting stuck when being split. Please be advised that wood being separated is under heavy pressure and your fingers may get squeezed in the gap.
Caution!
Pieces of wood cut at the right angle to be split only!
Diagonally cut pieces of wood may slip when cutting!
This may cause personal injury or damage to the splitter knife especially when using the gap extension by wedge!

Requirements for operating staff

The operating staff must carefully read the Opera- ting Instructions before using the appliance.
Qualification: Apart from the detailed instructions by a professional, no special qualification is necessa- ry for appliance using.
Minimum age: Persons over 18 years of age can only work on the appliance. An exception includes youngsters trained in order to reach knowledge under supervision of the trainer during occupational education.
Training:   Using the appliance only requires corre- sponding training by a professional or the Operating Instructions. No special training is necessary.

Emergency procedure

Conduct a first-aid procedure adequate to the injury and summon qualified medical attendance as quickly as possible. Protect the injured person from further harm and calm them down. For the sake of eventual accident, in accordance with DIN 13164, a workplace has to be fitted with a first-aid kit. It is essential to replace any used material in the first-aid kit immedia- tely after it has been used.
If you seek help, state the following pieces of infor- mation:

1. Accident site
2. Accident type
3. Number of injured persons
