• Always pull the plug out of the socket outlet
before making any adjustments. Exchange ac-
cessory parts or put away the tool. This precaution
eliminates the possibility of inadvertently starting
the tool.
• When not in use, store electric tools out of the
reach of children. Do not allow those persons to
use this tool who are unfamiliar with it or who have
not read these instructions. Electric tools are dan-
gerous when they are used by inexperienced per-
sons.
• Take good care of your tool. Check that moving
parts properly function and do not jam, that parts
are not broken off or damaged in any way and that
the tool can be used to its full capacity. Have dam-
aged parts repaired prior to using the tool.
• The cause of many accidents can be traced
back to poorly maintained electric tools. Keep
your blades sharp and clean. Properly maintained
blades with sharp edges jam less frequently and
are easier to use.
• Use electric tools and plug-in tools, etc. in com-
pliance with these instructions and in the manner
that is prescribed for the model at hand. In so do-
ing, pay due attention to working conditions and the
job to be performed. Using electric tools for appli-
cations other than those intended can lead to dan-
gerous situations.
• If the power cable of the electric tool is damaged, it
must be replaced by a specially prepared connec-
tion lead which can be obtained from the customer
service center.
5. SERVICE
• Have your tool repaired only by authorized spe-
cialists using original replacement parts. This
will ensure that your tool remains safe to use.

2. Never attempt to split any trunks which are larger
than the recommended trunk capacity. The trunks
must be free of any nails or wire which may be
flung out or might damage the machine during op-
eration. The trunks must be cut flat at the ends
and have had all branches removed from them.
The wood must always be split along the direc-
tion of the grain. Never insert the piece of wood
crosswise to the splitter and then attempt to split it
as this could damage the splitter.
3. The operator must operate the machine controls
with both hands and must not use any other kind
of device as a substitute for the controls.
4. The machine may be operated only by adults who
have read the operating instructions prior to start-
ing operation. No one is permitted to use the ma-
chine without reading the manual first.
5. Never attempt to split two trunks in a single opera-
tion as this may cause pieces of wood to be flung
out, which is dangerous.
6. Never add more wood or replace a piece of wood
while the machine is in the middle of an operation
as this would be extremely dangerous.
7. All persons and animals must be kept at least 5
meters from the machine while it is working.
8. Never modify the protective equipment on the
wood splitter or carry out any work without such
equipment attached.
9. Never attempt to force the wood splitter to split
excessively hard pieces of wood under cylinder
pressure for more than 5 seconds. Overheated
oil under pressure may cause damage to the ma-
chine. Stop the machine, turn the trunk through
90° and then try to split it again. If the wood still
fails to split this means that it is too hard for the
capacity of the machine and must be removed to
avoid damaging the wood splitter.
10. Never leave the machine unattended while run-
ning. Stop the machine and unplug the power plug
whenever you are not using it.
11. Never use the machine near natural gas, petrol
channels or other inflammable materials.
12. Never open the control box or the motor cover. If
necessary, contact a qualified electrician.
13. Make sure that the machine and the cable never
come into contact with water. Handle the power
cable with care and never pull or tug it with a jolt
to unplug it. Keep all cables away from excessive
heat, oil and sharp-edged objects.
14. Please take note of the temperature conditions
whilst you work. Extremely low and extremely
high ambient temperatures may cause malfunc-
tions.
15. Before using the wood splitter for the first time,
users should be given practical training by an ex-
perienced operator and should initially work with
it under supervision.
16. Before starting work check the following:
• Do all the functions of the tool function cor-
rectly?
