Ryobi RY40704 Manual Del Operador página 3

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the machine, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the machine for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk
of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can make a connec-
tion from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
LOG SPLITTER SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
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 BRING LOGS TO BE SPLIT,
DO NOT start the machine until that person is clear of the
area by at least 10 feet. Only one person should operate,
load, and unload the log splitter.
NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT OR RIDE ON THE
MACHINE.
NEVER TRANSPORT ANYTHING OR ANYONE ON THE
LOG SPLITTER.
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.
MAKE SURE THE LOG SPLITTER is on a level surface.
Block the splitter as required to prevent unintended
movement.
GENERAL MACHINE SAFETY RULES
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265
°F may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
ALWAYS OPERATE the splitter from the manufacturer's
indicated operator zone. The operator zone is in the right
rear area as facing the log splitter controls and never
directly behind the ram.
LOGS TO BE SPLIT ON RAM-TYPE UNITS should be
cut as flat as possible on each end.
ALWAYS keep hands and feet clear of moving parts and
partially split logs during the splitting operation.
NEVER attempt to split logs larger than 12 in. in diam-
eter or 20 in. in length. Only split dry whole logs and not
partial, unevenly shaped, logs that will not sit flat on the
work table, or logs that will not sit flat against the ram.
Only split one log at a time and do not attempt to split
stacked logs. Some types of wood are harder to split than
others. If the log splitter is having trouble splitting a log,
never continue to try for more than 10 hits.
BE thoroughly familiar with all controls and with the proper
use of the log splitter.
