Always follow these notices:
• A rapid movement of the engagement handle is
necessary for the rack and pinion to engage and
disengage fully without damage.
• The engagement handle should never be stopped
in any location between the fully forward or fully
backward positions.
• Do not hold the handle in the forward position
when the ram stops moving forward. Always pull
the engagement handle RAPIDLY to the back (au-
to-retract) position as soon as the log is split or
when the ram is at the end of the stroke or when
the ram stops moving forward due to a tough log.
1. Place the log on the Log Splitter. Grasp the log
on the sides near the middle of the block. Center
the log, side-to-side, on the rail of the Log Splitter.
Do not place the log tightly to the cutting knife. The
recommended distance from the cutting knife is
4-5 cm.
• Do not reach or step across the beam while the log
splitter is running. This is a very UNSAFE method which
could cause personal injury or even death.
WARNING!
• Never attempt to split wood across the grain. The log
splitter was not designed for cross-grain splitting. Doing
so could damage the log splitter and may cause personal
injury.
CAUTION!
The kinetic log splitter operates differently than a
hydraulic splitter. Not operating the machine properly
will result in damage to the machine.
The engagement handle must be held fully in the split
position against the hard stop when splitting. Failure to
do so may result in kickback of the handle.
CAUTION!
NOTICE
• Make sure both ends of the log you are splitting are cut as square as possible. This will
prevent the log from sliding out of position while under pressure.
2. With one hand, actuate and hold the safety lever
towards you, then RAPIDLY actuate the engagement
handle fully towards the engine until it contacts the
hard stop and hold firmly until the log is split.
3. IMMEDIATELY AFTER the log is split, actuate and
hold the engagement handle in the auto-retract
position to allow the ram to return. If the ram stops
before the end of the stroke while splitting a tough
log, quickly actuate the engagement handle back to
the auto-retract position. Let the ram return and
allow the flywheels to gain momentum for another
full power split.
