G10 KINETIC LOG SPLITTER

 

K 10 Operation  

Refer to the “Safety with Electric - Powered Machines” section in Chapter 1 
before using the Electric Motor for safety warnings and specific power and 
connection requirements. 

Starting the Motor 

1.

 

Position your Log Splitter on a flat, dry surface and chock the Wheels or 
screw down the Frame Stand to prevent the Splitter from moving during 
use. 

2.

 

Make sure the Log Splitter is plugged into a properly grounded 20 Amp, 
GFCI protected outlet. 

3.

 

Push the red On/Off Switch to the On ( I ) position (

Figure 5

). 

Stopping the Motor 

1.

 

Push the On/Off Switch to the Off ( 0 ) position to shut the Motor off 
(

Figure 5

). 

Note:

 Unplug the Power Cord when not using the Splitter. 

Resetting the Circuit Breaker 

If the Motor will not run when the power Switch is turned on and power is 
connected to the machine, the Circuit Breaker Switch may need resetting.  Read 
all instructions in the “Safety with Electric - Powered Machines” section in 
Chapter 1 to eliminate the typical causes for Circuit Breaker activation. 

1.

 

Push the Circuit Breaker Switch in to reset (

Figure 5

). 

Splitting Logs 

Note:

  All logs should be no longer than 16". Refer to the following photos for the 

correct and incorrect methods of splitting logs. Never split a log using an incorrect or 
unsafe method. 

Figure 8 

Figure 7 

Figure 6 

 

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 (

Figure 6

). 

 

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 (

Figure 7

). 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 (

Figure 8

). This will prevent the log from sliding out of position 

while under pressure.
