Mechanical hazards
Splitting wood causes particular mechanical hazards.
Never operate this device unless you are wearing prop-
er protective gloves, steel-toed shoes and approved
eye protection. Beware of fragments that may occur;
avoid puncture injuries and possible seizing of the de-
vice. Never try to split trunks that are too long or too
small and do not fit properly into the device. Never at-
tempt to split trunks that contain nails, wire or other ob-
jects. Clean up when working; accumulated split wood
and wood chippings can create a hazardous working
environment. Never continue working in a crowded
work environment where you can slip, trip or fall. Keep
onlookers away from the device and never allow unau-
thorised persons to operate the device.
Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the state-of-
the-art and the recognised technical safety require-
ments. However, individual residual risks can arise
during operation.
• Danger of injury for fingers and hands from the split-
ting tool in the event of improper guiding or support
of the wood.
• Injuries due to the workpiece being ejected at high
speed due to improper holding or guiding.
• Hazard due to special properties of the wood (knots,
uneven shape, etc.)
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use
of improper electrical connection cables.
• Before maintaining or adjusting, switch off the prod-
uct and unplug the power plug.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety infor-
mation" and the "Proper use" together with the oper-
ating manual as a whole are observed.
Accident prevention standards
The machine may only be operated by qualified per-
sonnel who are fully familiar with the contents of this
manual.
Before commissioning, one must check the integrity
and perfect functionality of the safety devices.
Before commissioning, you should also familiarise
yourself with the control mechanisms of the machine,
following the usage instructions.
38 | GB
The specified capacity of the machine must not be ex-
ceeded. Under no circumstances must the machine be
used for any other purpose than intended.
In accordance with the laws of the country in which the
machine is used, personnel must wear the work clothes
also specified here, avoiding loose, flapping garments,
belts, rings and chains; long hair is tied up if possible.
If possible, the workplace should always be tidy and
clean and the tools, accessories and spanners should
be within reach.
Make sure that the machine is never connected to the
mains when cleaning or maintaining it.
It is strictly forbidden to operate the machine with-
out safety equipment or with the safety mechanisms
switched off.
It is strictly forbidden to remove or modify the safety
equipment.
No maintenance or adjustment should be carried out
before reading this manual carefully.
The regular maintenance schedule given here must be
followed both for safety reasons and for efficient oper-
ation of the machine.
The safety labels must always be clean, legible and
closely observed to avoid accidents; if the labels are
damaged, lost or belong to parts that have been re-
placed, they must be replaced with new original labels
to be requested from the manufacturer and placed in
the prescribed position.
Powder-type fire extinguishing agents must be used for
fires. Fires on the system must not be extinguished with
water jets due to the risk of short circuits.
If the fire cannot be extinguished immediately, watch
out for leaking liquids.
In the event of a prolonged fire, the oil tank or the pres-
surised pipes may explode: care must therefore be
taken not to come into contact with the leaking liquids.
