GETTING STARTED
GETTING STARTED
1. Plan the work area before using the log splitter. Have the
logs positioned where they can be easily reached.
2. The log splitter accommodates logs up to 550 mm
(for model KS 8THE V 55/40) and 650 mm (for model
KS 12THE V 65/40) in length. The log splitter will work most
efficiently on dry, seasoned logs.
3. Position the log splitter securely on level ground. If nec-
essary stabilise the wheels to prevent the log splitter from
moving during use. If using an extension cable, do so in a
safe way to avoid damaging the cable or creating a hazard.
4. The model KS 8THE V 55/40 have a vent plug at the
machine front side (Fig. 1), model KS 12THE V 65/40 see
fig 2. Every time you want to begin your work, you should
screw out this plug some four turns to guarantee good air
circulation in the oil tank.
