Electrical safety (where applicable) Electricity can kill - NEVER work on LIVE/ENERGISED equipment Prior to carrying out any maintenance work you MUST Identify electrical isolation methods and isolate all electrical supplies, Prior to use and with all electrical supplies isolated You MUST check all electrical cables, plugs and connections for the following; Are intact and have no signs of damage, to include but not limited to bare wires, chaffing, cuts and loose wiring If there are any signs of damage, the damaged item MUST be taken out of service until the damage has been repaired by an electrically competent person All trailing cables should be routed so as not to cause any kind of trip hazard NEVER work on or near electricity with wet hands, wet clothing, and wet gloves Vibrations (where applicable) Prolonged use of hand held (operated) machines will cause the user to feel the effects of/from vibrations. These vibrations can lead to white finger (Raynaud's phenomenon) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the ability of the hand to feel and regulate temperature, causing numbness and heat sensations and may cause nerve damage and circulatory tissue death Not all factors that lead to white finger disease are known, but cold weather, smoking and other diseases that affect blood vessels and blood circulation as well as large and long-lasting impact of shocks are considered factors called in the formation of white finger. Note the following to reduce the risk the white finger and carpal tunnel syndrome to reduce: Wear gloves and keep your hands warm Take regular breaks All of the above precautions may help reduce the risk of white finger disease but not rule out carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are therefore recommended to observe the condition of your hands and fingers. Seek medical attention immediately if any of the above symptoms should occur Noise (where applicable) The operating noise of the machine can damage your hearing. Wear hearing protection such as earplugs or ear defenders to protect your hearing. Longterm and regular users are advised to have hearing checked regularly. Be especially vigilant and cautious when wearing hearing protection because your ability to hear alarm warnings will be reduced. Page 4

5 Noise emissions for this equipment is unavoidable. Carry out noisy work at approved times and for certain periods. Limit the working time to a minimum. For your personal protection and protection of people working nearby it is also advisable for them to wear hearing protection See CERTIFICATE of CONFORMITY section for Outdoor Noise declaration of conformity. 2. MACHINE SPECIFIC SAFETY 2.1. Understanding your log splitter You MUST read and understand the owner's manual and labels fixed to the log splitter. Learn its application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it Drugs, alcohol and medication Do not operate the log splitter while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication that could affect your ability to use it properly Avoiding dangerous conditions Always operate your log splitter on dry, solid, level ground. Never operate your log splitter on slippery, wet, muddy, or icy surfaces. The location you choose should be free from any tall grass, brush, or other interferences. There should be plenty of room for handling, and help the operator stay alert. Keep your work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered areas invites injuries. To avoid tripping do not leave tools, logs, or other components laying around the work area. DO NOT use the log splitter in wet or damp areas or expose it to rain.

This is awkward operating position that the operator has to bring his face close to the machine, and thus risks being struck by wood chips or debris Extension leads Improper use of extension leads may cause inefficient operation of the log splitter which can result in overheating. Make sure that the extension lead is no longer than 10m and its cross sectional area is no less than 2.5mm 2 to allow sufficient current flow to the motor All connections MUST be made with protected material suitable for outdoor use Avoiding electrical shocks You MUST check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with the power, voltage and frequency of the motor. The equipment must be connected to an earthed supply and protected by a 30 ma Residual Current Device (RCD) NEVER open the pushbutton box on the motor. Should this be necessary you MUST contact a qualified electrician Mark sure your fingers do not touch the plug's metal prongs when plugging or unplugging the log splitter Keep visitors and children away The log splitter MUST be always operated by one person only. Other people should keep a safe distance from the work area, especially when the log splitter is under operations. NEVER use other people to help you with freeing jammed log Inspect your log Before cutting logs you MUST 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 of flush with the trunk Do not over reach You MUST not work on slippery surfaces You MUST maintain proper footing and balance at all times NEVER stand on the log splitter. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tools is unintentionally contacted. DO NOT store anything above or near the log splitter where anyone might stand on the tool to reach them Avoid injury form unexpected accidents DO NOT straddle or reach across the splitting area when operating the log splitter. NEVER pile logs to be split in a manner that will cause you to reach across the log splitter. Only use your hands to operate the control levers. NEVER use your foot, knee, a rope, or any other extension device. Always pay full attention to the movement of the wedge ram. Never attempt to load your log splitter while the ram is in motion. Keep hands out of the way of all moving parts. NEVER try to split two logs on top of each other. One of them may fly up and hit you. Page 6

Before use you MUST fix the machine using M10 x 30 bolts on level ground Plan your work site Work safely and save effort by planning your work beforehand Have your logs positioned where they can be easily reached Have a site located to stack the split wood or load it onto a nearby truck or other carrier Prepare the logs for splitting This splitter accommodates logs up to 1050mm in length When cutting up limbs and large sections, do not cut sections any longer than 1000mm With 3 support table positions for splitting for 560mm, 810mm and 1050mm in length. Insert the support table in position nearest the log length, and secure the support table with the locking hook. DO NOT attempt to split green logs. Dry and wellseasoned logs split much more easily, and will not jam as frequently as green wood. Page 11

12 7.4. To lengthen the durability of the ram apply a thin coat of grease to the surfaces of the ram before operation Route the power lead Route the lead from the power source to the splitter in a way that safeguards against tripping on the lead, or the lead becoming damaged during the work session. Protect the power lead from impacts, pulling or corrosive materials Open the Air Bleed Loosen the oil tank cover a few turns whenever the splitter being used Retighten this cover when you finished While operating under extremely low temperature, keep the log splitter running under no load for 15 minutes to preheat the hydraulic oil Before initial operation You MUST check to be sure the two-handed operation is properly functioning by following steps: Lower both control levers, splitting wedge lowers to approximately 50mm above the highest table position Release either of the levers, splitting wedge should remain in the original position Release both levers, the ram should rise to the highest position automatically To set wedge ram stroke, take the following steps: Move splitting wedge to desired position. The upper position of the ram wedge travel should be about 30~50mm over the logs to be split Release a control lever or switch off motor Release the setscrew (A). Raise adjusting rod (B) until adjusting rod (B) is beginning to be stopped by the spring inside. Once adjusted tighten the setscrew (A) Release both control levers or switch on motor Check upper position of splitting wedge. Page 12

13 7.10. Place log onto splitter Place the log onto the support table vertically and sitting flat on the support table Make sure the wedge and support table makes contact with the log squarely on the ends NEVER attempt to split a log at an angle. ALWAYS split log in the direction of its growing grain. DO NOT place log across the log splitter for splitting. It can be dangerous and may seriously damage the machine Adjust the log holders (A) according to the diameter of the log to obtain most comfortable control levers angle Hold the log with clamping brackets closely in the control lever guards. Lower levers to start the splitting Releasing either lever stops the motion of the splitting wedge Releasing both handles will return the splitting wedge to the upper position Stack cut wood as you work. This will provide a safer work area, by keeping it uncluttered, and avoid the danger of tripping, or damaging the power cord Accumulated split wood and wood chips can create a hazardous work environment. NEVER continue to work in a cluttered work area which may cause you to slip, trip or fall Replacing hydraulic oil The hydraulic system is a closed system with oil tank, oil pump and control valve Check oil level regularly with dipstick. Low oil levels can damage the oil pump. Oil Level should measure approx. 10~20mm lower than the upper surface of the oil tank The oil should be completely changed once a year Make sure moving parts have stopped and the log splitter has been unplugged. Page 13

14 Make sure that no dirt or debris finds its way into the oil tank Collect used oil and recycle used oil in a responsible way by taking it to a recycling centre Following an oil change, use the log splitter a few times without actually splitting any logs Following hydraulic oils or equivalent are recommend for the log splitter s hydraulic transmission system: SHELL Tellus Sharpening the wedge This log splitter is equipped with reinforced splitting wedge blade which has been specially treated After long periods of operation, and when required you can sharpen the wedge using a fine-toothed file removing any burrs or flat spots on the cutting edge.
