Information

Action-related information.

General safety information

The machine may only be operated by persons who are familiar with the machine’s

operation and hazards and with the user manual.

▪ It is the operator’s responsibility to provide appropriate staff training.

Persons under the influence of alcohol, drugs or pharmaceutical products that impair

responsiveness must not operate the machine or carry out maintenance work on it.

The machine may only be operated if it is in perfect working condition.

If faults occur on the machine, work must be stopped immediately.

Ensure the machine is stable before starting it.

Minimum age of operative: 18 years.

Only one person may operate the machine at a time.

Take regular breaks to ensure concentration.

Ensure that your workplace is adequately illuminated as poor lighting can significantly

increase the risk of injury.

Never work without the protective guards in place.

Only carry out repair, set-up, maintenance and cleaning work when the drive is switched off

and the tool is stationary.

▪ If the machine has a PTO drive, the universal joint shaft must be removed from the

tractor.

▪ The electric motor must be switched off and the power cable disconnected.

Never leave the machine running unattended.

Switch off the machine's drive unit before carrying out any adjustments.

Only use original - POSCH - spare parts.

Do not modify or tamper with the machine.

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.

Machines with combustion engines:

DANGER

Carbon monoxide formation

Suffocation hazard

a) Never operate machines in confined spaces!

Safety instructions for log splitter

Prior to starting up the machine, the machine operator must agree the safety provisions with

the operator for wood manipulation (crane, forklift, front-end loader, etc.) and must observe

these safety provisions and the safety instructions from the wood manipulation operator.

2.2

2.3

Safety information

▪ This may mean that the machine operator is required to leave the place of operation

while the wood feed is loaded, in order to comply with the necessary safety distances.

Do not hold the log with your hand while splitting.

Do not reach into the splitting area.

Wear safety shoes and close-fitting clothes when working with this device.

Only use the machine outdoors.

Wear protective gloves.

Never split angle-cut wood.

Keep the work area free of chips and wood residues.

Shut the drive down before removing any jammed pieces of wood.

Max. log length 50 - 125 cm

Always retract the splitting tool when the machine is being transported or is not in operation.

The working pressure of the hydraulic system must not exceed 260 bar.

Safety instructions for rope winches

The rope winch may only be used when the machine is connected to the three-point linkage

of the tractor!

Ensure that the rope is not pulled over sharp edges!

Never guide the rope by hand whilst reeling it in!

Noise

The workplace-related, A-rated emission sound pressure level is 70 dB(A), measured at the

operative's ear.

In machines with an internal combustion engine an A-rated emission sound pressure level

of 90 dB(A), measured at the operative's ear, should be expected.

In the case of machines with a PTO drive, the noise level depends on the noise of the tractor.

Ear protection is therefore necessary.

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.

2.4

2.5

2.6

Safety information

▪ Hearing loss if ear protection is not worn when working.

▪ Human error (e.g. due to excessive physical exertion, mental strain, etc.)

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.

Proper use

The machine - SplitMaster 30 - is designed exclusively for splitting logs with a diameter of

10 - 80 cm and a length of 50 - 125 cm.

The machine may only be used to process firewood.

Incorrect use

Any incorrect use or use other than that specified under "Proper use" is expressly forbidden.
