3 - SAFETY

The information given in the chapter is extremely important for safety purposes. It describes possible hazards tied to use of the
machine and instructions for correct use of this to avoid injury or damage.
WARNING: This log splitter has been designed and manufactured to split logs of the sizes recommended only (fig.2 page 2).
Use of the machine for any other purpose shall be considered improper and the manufacturer shall not be liable for any injuries
or damage to be ascribed to improper use of the machine.
The operator must operate the machine drive control with both hands without using other improvised systems and without
tampering with the controls.
When the machine is working, persons and animals must be kept at a distance of at least 5 meters from the machine.
For the best and safest use, the log splitter should be used on a raised surface of height between 60 and 75 cm.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO TAMPER WITH THE PROTECTIONS OF THE LOG SPLITTER OR TO OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THESE. FAILURE
TO COMPLY WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN THIS CHAPTER MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO PERSONS, THINGS AND
TO THE MACHINE.
Do not use the log splitter to break stone materials (stones, concrete, etc.). Or to crush pieces or metal containers.

3.1 - General safety regulations

•
The machine must always be used by one operator only.
•
Do not use the machine outdoor when it is raining or snowing.
•
Nobody must be allowed to use the log splitter unless they have read the instruction manual and have been instructed in the regulations to
follow for correct and safe use.
•
The machine must be used by adults only. Use of the log splitter by apprentices of not less than 16 years of age must be supervised by an adult
authorised to use the machine.
•
Never wear loose, unbuttoned clothing which may become trapped in moving parts.
•
The working area must be free from any objects that could prevent complete freedom of movement for the operator while working.
•
Keep the log support bench free of waste materials (9 in fig.1) and ensure that the operator's work space is free of obstacles: logs, chippings,
sawdust, etc.
•
Check that the logs to be split are free from nails or wire, which may fly up or damage the machine. the ends of the logs must be cut square.
branches must be cut off flush with the trunk.
•
Never try to split logs larger than those indicated in fig. 2. This could be dangerous and may damage the machine.
•
Break wood in the direction of the grain. do not place wood across the log splitter and leave it in that position for splitting; it may be dangerous
and may seriously damage the machine.
•
Never attempt to cut two logs at once; one may fly up and hit you.
•
If the log moves away from the blade, retract the ram or the blade and turn the log through 90°.
•
Do not attempt to load the log in the log splitter while the ram is in motion: you could get trapped and injured.
•
Keep your hands well away from any splits and cracks which open in the log; these may close suddenly and crush or amputate your fingers.
•
Do not force the blade by pushing the log on the upper part (fig.9), as this can cause the blade to break or damage the body of the machine.
Always set the log on the guides.
•
Never leave the machine unattended while it is running. If you leave the machine, even for a short time, remove the power supply or any
possible cause of accidental start-up.

2.1 - Size of the logs to be split

Figure 2 on page 2 shows the maximum log sizes that can
be split.
The diameter of the log is indicative: a small log can be
difficult to split if it has knots or a particularly twisted fibre.

2.2 - Recommended oils

We recommend use of the following oils for the
hydraulic cylinder:
SHELL TELLUS T22
ARAL VITAM GF22
BP ENERGOL HCP22
TEXACO RANDO HDZ 22/32
MOBIL DTE11 or equivalent
DO NOT USE OTHER GRADE OILS.
