This log splitter is ONLY designed to split wood
with the direction of the grain. DO NOT attempt to
split or crush wood against the grain, or split brick,
concrete blocks, or rock. If you do, you will dam-
age the machine, void the warranty, and possibly
severely injure or kill bystanders or yourself.
The log splitter can be operated in either the hori-
zontal or vertical position, as shown in
Figure 37.
The horizontal position is generally for lighter,
easy-to-lift logs; the vertical position is generally
for splitting heavier logs that are difficult to lift onto
the log splitter.
To operate log splitter:
1. Read and understand this entire manual and
Kohler engine manual.
2. Verify your job site location meets at least
the minimum requirements for safety and
use. Refer to
Job Site Considerations on
Page 22 for details.
3. Lower support leg and secure it in place with
support leg lock pin.
