Safety

UNDERSTAND YOUR LOG SPLITTER: Read and understand

the owner’s manual and labels affixed 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.

AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS: Use the log splitter

on the ground, on the stand supplied or one of the stands

available as accessories. Ensure the stand, if used, is securely

assembled.

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered areas invite

injuries. Do not use the log splitter in wet or damp areas or

expose it to rain. Do not use it in areas where fumes from

paint, solvents or flammable liquids pose a potential hazard.

INSPECT YOUR LOG SPLITTER: Check your log splitter

before turning it on. Keep guards in place and in working

order. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting

wrenches are removed from tool area before turning it on.

Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using it.

DRESS PROPERLY: Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,

neckties or jewellery (rings, wrist watches). They can be

caught in moving parts.

Protective electrically non conductive gloves and non-skid

footwear are recommended when working. Wear protective

hair covering to contain long hair, preventing it from getting

caught in machinery.

PROTECT YOUR EYES AND FACE: Any log splitter may throw

foreign objects into the eyes. This can cause permanent eye

damage. Always wear safety goggles. Everyday eyeglasses

have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety

glasses.

Stand behind and to the right of the machine when operating

it. Do not bend over the machine to operate it, this is an

awkward operating position that has the operator bring

their face close to the machine, and thus risk being struck

by wood chips or debris.

Safety

EXTENSION CORDS: Improper use of extension cords

may cause inefficient operation of the log splitter which

can result in overheating. Be sure the extension cord is no

longer than 10m and its section is no less than 2.5mm2to

allow sufficient current flow to the motor.

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 push button box on the motor. Should this

be necessary, contact a qualified electrician.

Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs

when plugging or unplugging the log splitter.

AVOID BURNS: Avoid contact with hot oil, exhaust fumes

and hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or exhaust, these

parts get extremely hot from operation and remain hot for

a time after the unit is turned off. Allow the engine to cool

before doing maintenance or adjustment.

PETROL ENGINE: DO NOT operate the log splitter in an

enclosed area. The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide

an odourless and deadly gas. Operate this unit only in a well

ventilated area.

Always stop the engine before moving the machine. Do not

alter or adjust any part of the machine or engine that is

sealed by the manufacturer or distributor. Always check

before use, as specified in the manufacturers handbook.

Safety

Do not change the engine governor settings or over-

speed the engine. The governor controls the maximum

safe operating speed of the engine.

Do not run the engine at a high speed when you are not

working.

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 another person to help you with

freeing jammed logs.

INSPECT YOUR LOG: 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 off flush with

the trunk.

DON’T OVERREACH: Floor must not be slippery.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Never

stand on 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 FROM UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT:

Always pay full attention to the movement of the log

pusher.

Do not attempt to load the log on until the log pusher

has stopped. Keep hands out of the way of all moving

parts.

PROTECT YOUR HANDS: Keep you hands away from

splits and cracks which open in the log; They may close

suddenly and crush or amputate your hands.

Do not remove jammed logs with your hands.

Safety

DON’T FORCE THE TOOL: It will do a better and safer

job at its design rate. Never try to split logs larger than

those indicated in the specifications table. This could be

dangerous and may damage the machine.

Don’t use log splitter for a purpose for which it was not

intended.

NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED:

Don’t leave tool until it has come to a complete stop.

DISCONNECT POWER: Unplug the electric motor

or remove the plug cap from the spark plug before

making adjustments, changing parts, cleaning, or

maintaining the log splitter. Consult technical manual

before servicing.

PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT: Take used oil to an

authorized collection point or follow the stipulations

in the country where the log splitter is used. Do not

discharge into drains, soil or water.

MAINTAIN YOUR LOG SPLITTER WITH CARE: Keep

the log splitter clean for best and safest performance.

MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF: Lock the shop.

Disconnect master switches. Store the log splitter away

from children and others not qualified to use it.

The warnings, cautions and instructions referred to in

this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and

situations that may occur. It must be understood that

common sense and caution must be applied by the

operator when using the log splitter.

Operation

OPERATING CONDITIONS

This log splitter is a home use model. It is designed for operating under

ambient temperatures between +5°C and 40°C and for installation at

altitudes no more than 1000m above M.S.L. The surrounding humidity

should be less than 50% at 40°C. It can be stored or transported under

ambient temperatures between -25°C and 55°C.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (FM8, FM10D, FM10T, FM10TW)

Connect the main leads to a standard 230V±10% (50Hz±1Hz) electrical

supply which has protection devices of under-voltage, over-voltage

and over-current as well as a residual current device (RCD) which is

maximum residual current rated at 0.03A.

This equipment is fitted with a UK 3 pin mains electricity plug and

is supplied with a 2 pin adapter for use where necessary. DO NOT

remove the 3 pin mains electricity plug and fit a 2 pin mains electricity

plug.

POSITIONING THE LOG

SPLITTER

The log splitter should be

positioned level or preferably

positioned with the end where

the fixed wedge is, slightly

raised. A difference of 5mm

over the length of the log

splitter is sufficient.

This end slightly raised

It should not be positioned with the fixed wedge end lower than the

operating handle end as this may limit the flow of oil to the pump.

Before using the splitter, attach the two rubber feet supplied, to the

plate on the bottom of the front foot, using the nuts and washers

supplied.
