Log Splitter OPERATION 

 

All logs should be no longer than 550mm 

 

     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:

 

 

Do not be timid.  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 (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. 

 

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. 

 

 

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. 

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 to 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. 

Splitting Tough Logs 

 

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.
