

Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people, their property, and themselves.



Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields while using the Log Splitter to protect your eyes from possible thrown debris.



Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which can catch on moving parts.



We recommend wearing gloves while using the Log Splitter. Be sure your gloves fit properly and do not have loose cuffs or drawstrings.



Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your Log Splitter. If you have safety shoes, we recommend wearing them. Do not use the machine while barefoot or wearing open toed sandals.



Wear long pants while operating the Log Splitter.



Use ear protectors or ear plugs rated for at least 20 dba to protect your hearing.



Keep bystanders at least 50 feet away from your work area at all times. Stop the motor when another person or pet approaches.

Safety for Children and Pets

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets. Children are often attracted to the machine and the splitting activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Always follow these precautions:



Keep children and pets at least 50 feet from the working area and ensure they are under the watchful care of a responsible adult.



Be alert and turn the machine off if children or pets enter the work area.

Safety with Electric - Powered Machines

Never overlook the hazards of electricity. Always follow these precautions:



Never open the switch box or motor cover. Never attempt any electrical repairs yourself. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician, or contact Generac Power Systems for toll-free support at: 1-888-545-6576 for help or information.



Never use an extension cord that is not rated for outdoor use.



Never operate the Log Splitter if there is an electrical hazard present.



Never operate the Log Splitter in wet conditions and always store under cover.



Never operate the Log Splitter with a damaged electrical cord or damaged extension cord.



Never pull on the electrical cord to move the machine.



Always grasp the electrical cord plug when unplugging the cord from the outlet; never pull the plug out by the cord. Make sure your fingers do not touch the metal prongs when plugging or unplugging.



Never operate the Log Splitter unless the electrical cord is plugged into a properly grounded GFCI protected electrical outlet, which supplies 110-120v power, and is protected by a 20-amp circuit breaker.



Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.



If you are using an extension cord, keep the connection between the electrical cord and the extension cord well away from any water.



Never use an extension cord longer than 25 feet and smaller than 12 awg in diameter, or longer than 50 feet and smaller than

10 awg in diameter; the cord will produce a voltage drop that will prevent the motor from supplying full power and may cause damage to the motor. Use of a smaller diameter (larger awg number) extension cord could result in melting of the insulation or even create a fire.



Always keep the electrical cord and/or extension cord away from excessive heat, oil, and sharp objects.

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.



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.

Figure 8

G10 KINETIC LOG SPLITTER



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.

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 (Figure 9). Center the log, side-to-side, on the rail of the Log

Splitter, making sure that one end is against the Splitting Wedge.

Wood

Wedge

Figure 9

Engagement

Handle



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 Two Hand Operation Handle towards you, then RAPIDLY actuate the Engagement Handle fully towards the Motor until it contacts the hard stop and hold firmly until the Log is split (Figure

10).

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.

Daily Checklist for the KINETIC LOG SPLITTER

To help maintain your KINETIC LOG SPLITTER for optimum performance, we recommend you follow this checklist each time you use your Log Splitter.

Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, stop the motor, wait five minutes to allow all parts to cool.

Disconnect the power cord from the source of Electricity.



Check that motor cooling fins are clean of debris.



Check the general condition of the Log Splitter, e.g.; Nuts, Bolts, Welds, etc.



Check the Frame for wear and damage.



Check the Wedge for nicks and wear. Sharpen if needed.



Apply a rust preventative (Fluid Film or equivalent) to any bare metal areas on the top of the Rail. This will assure the longest possible service life of the Wedge.

End of Season and Storage

Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, stop the motor, wait five minutes to allow all parts to cool.

Disconnect the power cord from the source of Electricity.



Check the Wedge for nicks and wear. Sharpen if needed.



Apply Grease to the Rack and Pinion Teeth.



Apply a rust preventative (Fluid Film or equivalent) to any bare metal areas on the top of the Rail.



Clean the exterior of the unit to remove all dirt, grease, and any other foreign material. Clean dirt and debris from the motor cooling Fins. To prevent rust, touch up painted surfaces that have been scratched or chipped.



Be sure all Nuts, Bolts, and Screws are securely fastened.



If possible, store the Log Splitter in a dry, protected place. If it is necessary to store the Log Splitter outside, cover it with a protective material (especially the Motor).
