•
Do not place your hands on the ends of the log when loading the log splitter. This
is a very UNSAFE method and could result in injury to your hands.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
The kinetic log splitter operates differently than a hydraulic splitter. Not operating the
machine properly will result in damage to the machine. 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 back (Auto-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.
Procedure
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 making sure that
one end is against the splitting wedge.
