7.1 - Resetting of the thermal cut-out of the electric motor
In the case of machines with electric motor, a protection device applied to the motor and integrated in the main on/off switch is tripped in the case of
overloads, sudden increases in voltage or accidental faults in the electrical system. In this case, before calling your authorised service centre, wait
a few minutes and then try to reset the main on/off switch. If the problem does not re-occur, the log splitter can be used normally. If the cut-out is
tripped again, do not try to reset it and contact your ahthorised service centre.
