Incorrect Use - AL-KO LHS 5500 Manual De Instrucciones

Log splitter
There is a risk emanating from electrical current.
No other persons should be present within the
working area of the log splitter. Special heed
should be paid to children and animals.
The user of the unit bears responsibility for
accidents involving other persons or their prop-
erty. The working area should be kept free of
timber pieces and other objects – risk of stum-
bling.
Safety equipment
Motor circuit breaker
The motor circuit breaker switches the motor off
in the event of overloading of the log splitter. The
motor circuit breaker function should not be
deactivated.
Proceed as follows if the motor circuit breaker
deactivates the log splitter:
1. Disconnect the log splitter from the mains
power supply.
2. Remedy the cause of overloading.
3. Re-establish the power connection after
allowing the unit to cool for several minutes
and switch on the log splitter.
Connection cable
Only rubber cable complying with the H07RN-F
quality standard stipulated in VDE 0282 Part 14
with a wire cross section of min. 2.5 mm² should
be used.
The max. permissible cable length is 10 m. A
longer cable impairs the motor performance and,
consequently, the function of the log splitter.
The connection cable, plug and connection
socket should be free of damage.
Repairs to the connection cable, plug and con-
nection socket should only be realised by a
specialist electrical firm or workshop. A defective
connection cable (e.g. with cracks, cuts or bends
in the insulation) should not be used.
Plug connections should not be exposed to
damp or water.
Caution!
Do not damage or sever the connection
cable.
Proceed as follows in case of damage:
1. Disconnect the connection cable immediately
from the mains power supply.
