General safety information
The machine must only be used by individuals who are familiar with its operation and
dangers and who have read and understood the operating instructions.
▪ The operator must train his personnel accordingly.
Ensure the machine is stable before starting it.
Minimum age of operator: 18 years.
Only one person may operate the machine at a time.
Ensure that your work area is well lit, as poor lighting considerably increases the risk of
injury.
Never leave the machine running unattended.
Never work without the protective guards in place.
Switch off the machine's drive unit before carrying out any adjustments.
Use only original POSCH spare parts.
Work on electrical equipment must only be carried out by qualified electricians.
Never use damaged cables.
Machines with electric motors must not be used in the rain as this can lead to a malfunction
of the switch or the motor.
Safety instructions for log splitter
Wear safety shoes and close-fitting clothes when splitting logs.
Never hold the log with your hand when splitting.
Never reach under the splitting tool; always grip log from the side.
Never split logs that are cut at an angle.
Keep the working area free from shavings and wood remnants.
Switch off the drive unit before removing any log pieces that have become jammed.
Maximum log length: 55 cm .
Always retract the splitting knife fully during transport and when the machine is at rest.
Noise
The workplace-related noise level is 70 dB(A), measured at the ear of the operator.
The stated values are emissions values, and thus do not necessarily represent reliable
values for the work area. Although there is a correlation between emission and pollutant
levels, it is not possible to deduce reliably from that whether or not additional precautionary
measures are necessary. Factors that influence the level of pollutants present in the work
area include the individual nature of the work area, other sources of noise, e.g. the number
of machines and other work operations being carried out in the vicinity. Equally, permissible

values for a work area may vary between different countries. However, this information
should enable the user to estimate the dangers and risks more accurately.
Remaining risks
Even if all safety precautions are observed and the machine is used in accordance with the
instructions, some risks still remain:
▪ Touching of revolving parts or tools.
▪ Injury caused by flying logs or log pieces.
▪ Risk of burns if the engine is not properly ventilated.
▪ Hearing loss if ear protection is not worn when working.
With every machine, some risks still remain. Therefore you should always be very careful
when working. It is up to the operating personnel to ensure that work is carried out safely.

Description
The machine - Log splitter 8 - is designed exclusively for splitting logs with a maximum length
of 55 cm .
The splitter is driven hydraulically; the hydraulic system is driven by an electric motor.
The machine is operated via a two-hand safety controller. When you press down the control
levers of the safety controller, the splitting blade descends.
When you release one of the two handles, the splitting blade stops moving. When you
release both handles, the splitting blade returns to the starting position.
The log is placed on a pressure plate under the splitting blade. During operation the splitting
blade moves down into the log and splits it.
