  Description:

Agricultural and forestry machinery - Safety of log splitters - Part 1: Wedge splitters

  Purpose

This European Standard specifies the safety requirements, and their verification for the design and construction of horizontal and vertical wedge splitters, designed for splitting logs for firewood, irrespective of the nature of the power source used. This standard deals with wedge splitters that are designed so that the splitting operation is activated by one person only, however it is foreseeable that other operators may be working with the machine e.g. for loading or unloading. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer. This document deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant to these machines when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Table 1). This document is not applicable to machines that are designed for both cutting into length for splitting and splitting for firewood. This document is not applicable to wedge splitters which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
