WLS552 PEREL 4
• Do not try and repair the log splitter yourself if lacking technical skills but leave service to a qualified technician.
• Check the log splitter, the oil level, and the protection boards before every operation. Do not operate the log
splitter if any of these fail.
• Start the log splitter at zero-load and make sure that the log splitter is in perfect working order before loading it.
• Never load two logs at a time or logs larger than the authorized size (see below). Remove all branches and make
sure the log does not contain nails and other debris. Do not load a log vertically onto the log splitter. The log
should be split along the direction of the vein. Never handle a log loaded onto the log splitter.
• Never overload or overcharge the log splitter. The log splitter may experience difficulties splitting extreme hard
woods. If this is the case, do not force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds.
• Never open or tamper with the log splitter or electric motor. Contact a qualified technician if the log splitter needs
servicing.
• Keep the power cable away from water and humidity at any time. Do not crimp the power cord and protect it
against damage. Have an authorised dealer replace it if necessary.
