Scheppach Compact 12t Traducción Del Manual De Instrucciones Original página 37

• The machine may only be operated by one operator.
• Never attempt to split trunks larger than the recom-
mended trunk capacity. Trunks must not contain
nails or wires that can fly out or damage the ma-
chine. The trunks must be cut flat at the end and all
branches must be removed from the trunk. Always
split the wood in the direction of its grain. Do not
bring in and split wood across the splitter, as this
can damage the splitter.
• The operator must operate the machine control with
both hands without using any other contraption to
replace the control unit.
• The machine may only be operated by adults who
have read the operating manual before operating it.
No one may use this machine without having read
the manual.
• Never split two trunks at the same time in one opera-
tion, as wood can fly out, which is dangerous.
• Never add or replace wood during operation as this
is very dangerous.
• While the machine is working, people and animals
must be kept away from the log splitter within a radi-
us of at least 5 metres.
• Never modify or work without the log splitter's pro-
tective devices.
• Never force the log splitter to split excessively hard
wood with cylinder pressure for more than 5 sec-
onds. Overheated oil under pressure can damage
the machine. Stop the machine and after turning
the trunk 90° try to split the trunk again. If the wood
still cannot be split, it means that the hardness of
the wood exceeds the capacity of the machine and
it must be sorted out so that the log splitter is not
damaged.
• Never leave the machine running unattended. Stop
the machine and disconnect it from the mains when
you are not working.
• Do not operate the machine near natural gas, petrol
gutters or other flammable materials.
• Never open the control box or the engine cover. If
necessary, contact a qualified electrician.
• Ensure that the machine and cables never come into
contact with water. Handle the mains cable with care
and do not jerk or yank the power cable to unplug it.
Keep the cables away from excessive heat, oil and
sharp objects.
• Please note the temperature conditions at work.
Extremely low and extremely high ambient tempera-
tures can lead to malfunctions.
• First-time users should receive practical instruction
in the use of the log splitter from an experienced op-
erator and practice working under supervision first.
• Check whether all device functions are working
properly before working
- whether all safety devices are working properly
(two-handed safety circuit, off switch and stop
lever)
- whether the device can be switched off properly
- whether the device has been set up correctly
(truck support, retaining claws, riving knife height)
- When working, always keep the work area free of
obstacles (e.g. pieces of wood)

Hydraulics
Never operate this device if there is a hydraulic fluid
hazard. Check for leaks in the hydraulics before using
the splitter. Make sure that the device and your work
area are clean and free from oil stains. Hydraulic fluid
can cause hazards as you may slip and fall, your hands

fire hazard.
Electrical safety
Never operate this device in the presence of an electri-
cal hazard. Never operate an electrical device in humid
conditions. Never operate this device with an unsuita-

m Attention!
This power tool generates an electromagnetic field dur-
ing operation. This field can impair active or passive
medical implants under certain conditions. In order to
prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recom-
mend that persons with medical implants consult with
their physician and the manufacturer of the medical im-
plant prior to operating the machine.
