INTRODUCTION
BELL® log splitters have been designed and manufactured in compliance with the most recent European safety regulations with particular reference
to the EN 609-1 and CEI EN 60204-1 standards.
The two-hands control systems, in fact, have been designed and engineered so that the operator is forced to work in the safety area, employing both
the hands, without any possibility of inserting hands or arms in dangerous areas.
This log splitter machine is produced in conformity with the specifications contained in the RoHs directive 2002/95/CE
Before transporting, installing or operating the machine, read all parts of this manual, paying particular attention to the specific
safety regulations.
Operators who are unable to understand any of the languages in which this manual is written are responsible for asking the retailer to provide a
manual in their own language.
The operator must also train any other person authorised to use the machine.
Failure to comply in any way with these instructions, improper use of the machine, extraordinary maintenance operations not
carried out by skilled, authorised personnel, removal of data plates or markings of any type, removal or tampering with the guards
and safety mechanisms of the machine or any other action not expressly authorised that may impair the active and passive safety
systems of the machine shall relieve the manufacturer of all and any liability and may result in serious injury and damage.
If the machine is tampered with in any way by unauthorised personnel, the guarantee is automatically null and void. This manual is an integral part of
the machine and must accompany it even in the case of transfer of ownership.
WARNING:
The ignition system of your machine produces an electromagnetic field of very low intensity. This field could interfere
