4. Proper use

The log splitter is designed exclusively for chopping
firewood in the direction of the grain. Taking into ac-
count the technical data and safety instructions. When
splitting, make absolutely sure that the wood to be split
only rests on the checker plate of the floor plate or on
the checker plate of the splitting table.
The hydraulic log splitter can only be used for standing
operation. Timbers may only be split standing in the
direction of the grain. The dimensions of the timbers
to be split:
• Max. timber length 107 cm
• Compact 8t: Ø min. 8 cm, max. 35 cm
• Compact 10t: Ø min. 8 cm, max. 38 cm
Never split wood lying down or against the grain.
• The machine may only be used in the intended man-
ner. Any use beyond this is improper.
• The user/operator, not the manufacturer, is respon-
sible for damages or injuries of any type resulting
from this.
• An element of the intended use is also the obser-
vance of the safety instructions, as well as the as-
sembly instructions and operating information in the
operating manual.
• Persons who operate and maintain the machine
must be familiar with the manual and must be in-
formed about potential dangers.
• In addition, the applicable accident prevention regu-
lations must be strictly observed.
• Other general occupational health and safety-relat-
ed rules and regulations must be observed.
• The liability of the manufacturer and resulting dam-
ages are excluded in the event of modifications of
the machine.
Despite use as intended, specific risk factors cannot be
entirely eliminated. Due to the design and layout of the
machine, the following risks remain:
• Dry and seasoned wood can explode during the
splitting process and injure the operator in the face.
Please wear appropriate protective clothing!
• Pieces of wood that are produced during a splitting
process can fall down and injure the feet of the per-
son working.
• During the splitting process, bruising or severing of
body parts may occur due to lowering of the hydrau-
lic blade.
• There is a danger of knotty logs becoming jammed
during the splitting process. Please note that the
wood is under a lot of tension when it is removed
and your fingers can be crushed in the split crack.
• Attention! As a rule, only split pieces of wood that
have been cut off at right angles! Pieces of wood cut
at an angle can slip away during the splitting pro-
cess! This can result in injuries!
Please observe that our equipment was not designed
