NOTICE
The kinetic log splitter operates differently than a
hydraulic splitter. Not operating the machine properly
will result in damage to the machine.
This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts op-
erating with high energy. You must operate the machine
safely. Unsafe operation can create a number of hazards
for you, as well as anyone else in the nearby area.
WARNING!

All logs should be no longer than rated. Refer to the following photos for the correct and incorrect methods
of splitting logs. Never split a log using an incorrect or unsafe method.
• 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 5).
• 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 (Fig. 6). 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 (Fig. 6). This will prevent the
log from sliding out of position while under pressure
(Fig. 7)
.
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.
