Avoid use of free and inadequately insulated connections.
Connections must be made with protected material
suitable for outdoor use.
AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and
that it corresponds with the power, voltage and frequency
of the motor. Check that there is a ground connection,
and a regulation differential switch upstream.
Ground the log splitter. Prevent body contact with
grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerator enclosures.
Never open the pushbutton box on the motor. Should this
be necessary, 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

DRESS PROPERLY

parts.
Protective electrically non conductive gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working. Wear
