All operators, mechanics and the owner must be well acquainted with the instruction in this
instruction manual before the machine is taken into use.
You should always work with care when you employ agricultural machinery. Read and observe
the safety instructions in this binder. Your safety is your responsibility!
Be particularly aware of warning signs
with this symbol it marks measures
that must be carried out in order to avoid accidents.
The symbol appears in the instruction manual and on
warning signs on the machine.
2. Personal protection equipment
You should always wear hearing protection and protective goggles when using the wood
machine. Further, you should use protective footwear and sturdy work gloves during handling of
the machine and the materials.
3. The safety of the surroundings
Make sure that no-one not concerned are present in the area of work. We emphasize as strongly
as possible that only one person is to handle the machine, i.e. operate the saw chain sword and
the splitter. Nobody is to assist the main operator in the work area - risk of injury!
Never start the machine when there are people or animals close to the machine or the tractor.
Never stand between the tractor wheels and the machine!
The machine’s rotating parts may cause severe injuries.
If other persons than the operator of the machine are present in the risk zone, the operator is to
explain the danger the machine involves.
4. Clothing and the drive shaft
o not work in clothing that may be caught in the moving parts of the machine (for example
scarf, wide coats).
The tractor must be disconnected and the hand brake activated before the shaft is connected to
the tractor’s power take-off. The drive shafts are always to be equipped with original protection
covers.
Damaged and worn covers are to be replaced immediately!
Make sure that all covers for the shaft are in good condition and correctly fitted. Never start the
machine when this is not in order. The locking chains for the plastic covers are always to be
fixed to the appropriate brackets in order to prevent the covers to rotate.
5 Safe connection and use.
Allow nobody to stay between the machine and tractor when the machine is connected to the
tractor. The same applies during use of the machine. Make sure that the connection is carried
out in a safe manner.
6. Safety in case of interruptions and maintenance.
Remember always to stop the tractor’s engine and remove the ignition key before you lubricate,
adjust, clean or carry out repairs. This is to secure that the tractor does not start before you have
completed the operation.
