Specific Safety Rules - Homelite UT49103 Manual Del Operador

 DO NOT ALLOW anyone to operate the log splitter who
has not read the operator's manual or has not been
instructed on the safe use of the splitter.
 NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN OR UNTRAINED ADULTS
TO OPERATE THIS MACHINE.
 IF SOMEONE is helping load logs to be split, DO NOT
start the machine until that person is clear of the area.
 NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE ON THE
MACHINE.
 NEVER TRANSPORT ANYTHING OR ANYONE ON THE
LOG SPLITTER.
 HIGH FLUID PRESSURES ARE DEVELOPED IN
HYDRAULIC LOG SPLITTERS. Pressurized hydraulic
fluid escaping through a pin hole opening can puncture
skin and cause severe blood poisoning. Heed the following
instructions at all times:
a) Do not operate the machine with frayed, kinked,
cracked, or damaged hoses, fittings, or tubing.
b) Stop the engine and relieve hydraulic system pressure
before changing or adjusting fittings, hoses, tubing,
or other system components.
c) Do not adjust the pressure settings of the pump or value.
d) Never use your hand. Leaks can be located by
passing cardboard or wood over the suspected area.
Look for discoloration. If injured by escaping fluid,
see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can
develop if proper medical treatment is not adminis-
tered immediately.
 KEEP THE OPERATOR ZONE and adjacent area clear
for safe, secure footing.
 LOG SPLITTERS SHOULD BE USED ONLY for splitting
wood. DO NOT use for other purposes unless the
manufacturer provides attachments and instructions.
 MAKE SURE THE LOG SPLITTER is on a level surface.
Block the splitter as required to prevent unintended
movement.
 ALWAYS OPERATE the splitter from the manufacturer's
indicated operator zone.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

5 — English
 LOGS TO BE SPLIT ON RAM-TYPE UNITS should be
cut as squarely as possible.
 THE MACHINE OWNER should instruct anyone assisting
him or her in safe log splitting operation.
 ALWAYS operate the log splitter with all safety equipment
in place and all controls properly adjusted for safe
operation.
 ALWAYS operate the log splitter at manufacturer's
recommended speed.
 WHEN LOADING a ram-type log splitter, place your hands
on the sides of the log not at the ends. NEVER place your
hands or any part of your body between a log and any
part of the log splitter.
 ON RAM-TYPE log splitters, NEVER attempt to split
more than one (1) log at a time unless the ram has been
fully extended and a second log is needed to complete
the separation of the first log.
 ON RAM-TYPE log splitters on which the logs are not
square, the longest portion of the log should be rotated
down and the most square end placed against the ram.
 CLEAR DEBRIS from moving parts but only when the
power source is shut off.
 USE ONLY YOUR HAND TO OPERATE THE LOG
SPLITTER CONTROLS.
 ALWAYS UNPLUG FROM THE POWER SOURCE while
repairing or adjusting the splitter except as recommended
by the manufacturer.
 CIRCUIT CAPACITY AND FUSES:
a) Use only an electrical circuit having adequate capacity
as recommended by the log splitter manufacturer.
b) "Blowing" a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker is usually
a warning that you are overloading the machine or
have too many devices taking power from the circuit,
or both. Do not install a higher capacity fuse!
 LEARN AND UNDERSTAND all controls and the proper
use of the equipment.
 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use to instruct other users. If you loan
someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
