** The diameter of the log is not the only factor that determines how easy it will be to split. A small log can

be difficult to split when it has knots or is a particularly hard wood.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

HYDRAULIC OIL

This machine is supplied with hydraulic oil from the factory, to allow the machine to be used straight from the carton
following assembly. Do check the oil level (instructions available in the manual) prior to the first use and periodically
thereafter. Type 22 hydraulic oil is recommended.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Connect the main leads to a standard 220-240V±10% (50Hz±1Hz) electrical supply which has protection devices of
under-voltage, over-voltage, over-current as well as a residual current device (RCD) which
maximum residual current rated at 0.03A.

EXTENSIONS LEADS

Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of the logsplitter which can result in overheating. Be
sure the extension cord is no longer than 10m and its section is no less than 2.5mm² to allow sufficient current flow to
the motor. Avoid use of free and inadequately insulated connections. Connections must be made with protected
material suitable for outdoor use.

WORKING CONDITIONS

This log splitter is for domestic use only (commercial usage will reduce the warranty period of the machine – see
warranty pages for details). It is designed for operating under ambient temperatures between +5°C and 40°C and for
installation at altitudes no more than 1000m above M.S.L. The surrounding humidity should be less than 50% at 40°C.
It can be stored or transported under ambient temperatures between -25°C and 55°C.
INSPECT YOUR LOG
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in logs to be split. The ends of the logs must be cut square.
Branches must be cut off entirely so that the trunk is relatively smooth.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

It is important that you read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed to the machine. Learn its
application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards. Retain these instructions for future
reference. The operator is responsible for following the warnings & instructions in this manual and on the
product.

Read & understand operator’s

manual before using the

machine. Failure to follow

instructions could result in death

or serious injury.

DANGER

Keep clear of all moving

parts.

Wear protective gloves to

protect your hands

Do not remove jammed

logs with your hands

Whenever the machine is in use,

eye protection must be worn to
safeguard against flying objects.
Hearing protection must also be

used to protect the operators

hearing.

Before making

adjustments, changing

parts, cleaning, or working

on the log splitter, always

disconnect the power.

Consult the technical

manual before servicing.

Wear protective footwear

Dispose of all oil at an

authorised collection point

or follow the local

stipulations that apply

where the log splitter is

being used.

Dispose of used oil in an

environmentally friendly

way.

Check your logsplitter before

turning it on. Keep guards in

place and in working order.

Replace damaged, missing or

failed parts before using it.

STAY ALERT

Do not operate the machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication that could affect
your ability to use it properly. Do not use this machine when you are tired or distracted from the job at hand.
Always be aware of what you are doing at all times. Use common sense.
AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
We do not recommend using the logsplitter on the ground for operation. This is an awkward operating
position, bringing the operators face close to the machine, and thus risking being struck by wood chips or
debris. Put the logsplitter on a 72-85 cm high, stable, flat, and level work bench where there is plenty of room
for handling, and help the operator stay alert. Bolt the logsplitter to the work surface if it tends to slip, walk, or
slide. Keep your work area clean and well light. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do not use the logsplitter in wet
or damp areas or expose it to rain. Do not use it in areas where fumes from paint, solvents or flammable
liquids pose a potential hazard.

INSPECT YOUR MACHINE

Check your logsplitter before turning it on. Keep guards in place and in working order. Form a habit of checking
tools are removed from the working area before turning it on. Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before
operating the machine.
DRESS PROPERLY
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewellery (rings, wrist watches). They can be caught in moving
parts. Protective electrically nonconductive gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair, preventing it from getting caught in machinery.

PROTECT EYES & FACE

Any logsplitter may throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage. Always wear
safety goggles. Everyday eye-glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.
We do not recommend using the logsplitter on the ground for operation. This is an awkward operating
position, bringing the operators face close to the machine, and thus risking being struck by wood chips or
debris.
AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with the power, voltage and
frequency of the motor. Check that there is a ground connection and a regulation differential switch upstream.
Ground the logsplitter. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator
enclosures. Never open the switch box on the motor. Should this be necessary, contact a qualified electrician.
Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug's metal prongs when plugging or unplugging the logsplitter.
KEEP BYSTANDERS AND CHILDREN AWAY
The logsplitter must be always operated by one person only. Other people should keep a safe distance from
the work area (10 metres recommended), especially when the logsplitter is under operation. Never use
another person to help you with freeing a jammed log.

INSPECT YOUR LOG

Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in logs to be split. The ends of the logs must be cut square.
Branches must be cut flush with the trunk.

DO NOT OVERREACH

The operating floor must not be slippery. Always keep proper footing and balance. Never stand on the
logsplitter. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted. Do
not store anything above or near the logsplitter where anyone might stand on the tool to reach them.

AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT

Always pay full attention to the movement of the log pusher. Do not attempt to load the log on until the log
pusher has stopped. Keep hands out of the way of all moving parts.

PROTECT YOUR HANDS

Keep your hands away from splits and cracks which open in the log; They may close suddenly and crush or
amputate your hands or fingers. Do not remove jammed logs with your hands.

DO NOT FORCE TOOL

It will do a better and safer job at its designed rate. Never try to split logs larger than those indicated in the
specifications table. This could be dangerous and may damage the machine. Don't use the logsplitter for a
purpose for which it was not intended.

NEVER LEAVE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED

Do not leave the machine unattended, until it has come to a complete stop and the power removed from the
electrical source.

DISCONNECT POWER

Unplug from the electrical supply when not in use, before adjusting, changing parts, cleaning or working on the
logsplitter. All servicing and repairs are recommended to be undertaken by an approved service dealer.

MAINTAIN YOUR MACHINE WITH CARE

Clean the machine immediately after use. Keep the machine clean to ensure it operates to its full & safest
performance. When maintaining this machine, only the manufacturer’s original replacement parts should be
used. The use of non-original manufacturer parts may invalidate your warranty.

PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

Take used oil to an authorised collection point or follow the stipulations in the country where the logsplitter
is used. Do not discharge into drains, soil or water.

STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT

When not in use, the machine should be stored in a dry location. Keep the machine away from children and
others not qualified to use it.

This symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be
treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection
