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
On/ Off
connection requirements.
Switch
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
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 5).
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.
