Technical Data
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: maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the
hands warm, and organization 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 fiber 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 than 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
the 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 an operation in the wrong direction would damage 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 interruption 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 neutral, will automatically
lead to switching failure. The warranty will not apply in such a case that
must naturally be checked.
- The machine meets the EN 61000-3-11 requirements and is subject to special connection conditions. That means that a user of optional points of connection is not allowed.
- The machine may cause temporary voltage fluctuation 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 working area is flat and
slip-resistant and that 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, the 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
The power supply must be interrupted by pressing the red button on the switch
and unplugging the machine 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 the legs of
the operator.
When splitting wood, parts of the 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 the 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!
