[. . . ] Failure to observe the safety precautions can lead to injury to the operator or damage to property. In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken, non-obvious residual risks can still exist. Before commissioning this product, read and keep to the following advice. Also observe the preventive regulations of your professional association and the safety provisions applicable in the respective country, in order to protect yourself and others from possible injury. [. . . ] Switch the machine off and remove the mains plug from the socket when - carrying out repair works - carrying out servicing and repair works, removal of faults - Transporting - leaving unattended (even during short interruptions) Check the machine for possible damage - Before continuing to use the machine, the protective devices must be inspected to ensure that they work perfectly and with their intended function - Check whether the parts are damaged. All parts must be correctly installed and fulfil all conditions to ensure perfect operation of the saw - Damaged guards and parts must be properly repaired or exchanged by a recognized, specialist workshop; insofar as nothing else is stated in the instructions for use. - Damaged or illegible safety warning labels should be replaced immediately. Electrical connections must conform to IEC 60245 (H 07 RN-F) with a cable cross-section of at least 2. 5 mm² for a maximum cable length of up to 10 m Never use the machine with a power supply cable of over 10 m in length. The motor will not be able to provide its maximum performance and the operation of the machine will be impaired. When laying the connecting attachments, be sure that they do get crushed or bent, and that the plug-and-socket connection does not get wet. Regularly check the extension cables and replace them if they are damaged. When working outdoors, only use extension cables especially approved and appropriately labelled for outdoor use. The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts of the machine must be carried out by a certified electrician or one of our customer service points. Local regulations ­ especially regarding protective measures ­ must be observed. The logs to be split should be cut to the maximum dimensions (370 mm long, 50 ­ 250 mm). Place the log properly on the log splitter, so as not to cause any risk of stumbling or falling to the operator. Always ensure that the splitting wedge and the log ram contact the ends of the log at right-angles. Never try to force the splitting of the log by maintaining the pressure for several seconds. Reposition the log on the main frame and repeat the splitting process, or put the log to one side. Release both operating handles so that the log ram can return to its starting position. Place a triangular wooden chock under the log, then move the log ram forward so that it pushes the chock under the jammed log. If the log is not released, keep repeating this procedure, using larger chocks, until the log is released. Never use a hammer to release a jammed log, and keep your hands away from the log. Do not try to release the log by using a hammer, since this may break the motor block. Remove the plug from the power socket before starting any maintenance or cleaning work. [. . . ] The use of any other type of oil will adversely affect the operation of the hydraulic cylinder. The machine is guaranteed for a period of 2 years from the date of purchase/delivery against faults due to material or manufacturing errors. The guarantee is rendered invalid in the event of any damage caused due to improper use or handling, improper packaging when returning the machine or failure to observe the operating instructions. The decision on free replacement of faulty parts will be made at our discretion. [. . . ]
