SPECIFICATIONS

NOTICE The diameter of the log is not the only factor that determines how easy it is to split. A small log may be difficult to split if it has knots or is a particularly hard wood.

Connect the mains lead to a standard 230V±10% (50Hz ±1Hz) electrical supply which has under-voltage, over-voltage and over-current protection devices as well as a residual current device (RCD) with a maximum residual current rated at 0.03A.

LOG SPLITTER KS 7THE 52/30 OPERATION

WARNING! Log splitter is supplied without the hydraulic oil. Please don’t start the engine without filling the sufficient amount of hydraulic oil.

1. Plan the work area before using the log splitter. Have the logs positioned where they can be easily reached.

2. The log splitter accommodates logs up to 52 cm in length. The log splitter will work most efficiently on dry, seasoned logs.

3. Position the log splitter securely on level ground or on a secure stand. If necessary stabilize the wheels to prevent the log splitter from moving during use. If using an extension cable, do so in a safe way to avoid damaging the cable or creating a hazard.

4. Before operating the log splitter, the bleed screws (Fig. 3) should be loosened by 3-4 turns to al-low the air to go in and out of the oil tank. Re-tighten the screw when the work is complete or when moving the log splitter to avoid oil leaks.

5. Always place logs firmly on the main body, lying flat against the log guide plates (Ref A on Fig1). Never attempt to split a log at an angle and make sure the logs will not twist or slip whilst being split. Ensure the splitting wedge (Ref J on Fig. 1) and the log pusher (Ref B on Fig. 1) will make contact with the log squarely at each end.

6. For reasons of safety the log splitter requires a two-handed operation. Switch on the electric motor using the green starting switch (Ref F on Fig. 1). Using both hands press down on both operating handles (Ref C on Fig. 1). The log splitter will compress the log, pushing against the splitting wedge. When the log is split release both handles – this will allow the log pusher to retract.

Press the green button to stop the log splitter. Tighten the screw (Fig. 3) and unplug the appliance when operation is finished. Re-tighten the screw when the work is complete or when moving the log splitter to avoid oil leaks.

WARNING! Never force the splitting of a log by sustaining the hydraulic pressure for more than 5 seconds. Try re-positioning the log on the splitter.

LOG SPLITTER KS 8TKE 52/35 OPERATION

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 protected outlet.
3. Push the green button.

STOPPING THE MOTOR
Push the emergency stop or red button to shut the Motor off.

• NOTE Unplug the Power Cord when not using the Splitter.
• NOTICE The kinetic log splitter operates differently than a hydraulic splitter. Not operating the machine properly will result in damage to the machine.
• WARNING! This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts operating 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.

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.

• 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 (Fig. 8). Center the log, side-to-side, on the rail of the Log Splitter. Do not place the log tightly to the cutting knife. The recommended distance from the cutting knife is 4-5 cm.
   CAUTION! 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 Motor until it contacts the hard stop and hold firmly until the Log is split (Fig. 9).

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.

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.

TO FREE A JAMMED LOG

Release both operating handles so that the log pusher is fully retracted. Insert a triangular wedge of wood under the log and activate the log pusher to push the wedge under the jammed log. Repeat this process using progressively larger wedges until the jammed log is freed.

WARNING! Never hammer a jammed log or place your hands near WARNING! the log when attempting to free a jammed log.

SHARPENING THE WEDGE AND CLEANING THE GUIDE RAIL
After using the log splitter for some time, sharpen the wedge using a fine tooth file and smooth any burrs or rough edges along the cutting edge.
Clean the guide rail regularly, especially when splitting wood that is rich in resin.

REPLACING HYDRAULIC OILREPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL
Replace the hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every 150 hours of use. Take the following steps to replace the oil:

1. Make sure all moving parts are stopped and the log splitter is unplugged.

2. Unscrew the oil drain bolt.

3. Turn the log splitter onto the support leg side and hold over a 3 litre container to drain the oil into.

4. Turn the log splitter vertically to stand on its end with the motor underneath and the operating handles uppermost.

5. Fill with fresh hydraulic oil. As stated in the Specifications Table on page 5 the correct oil capacity is 2.9L.

6. Clean the surface of the dipstick, which is attached to the oil drain bolt, with a clean lint free cloth and put back into the tank to check the new level. Make sure the level of the refilled oil is just between the two grooves around the dipstick.

7. Clean the oil drain bolt before screwing it back. Make sure it is tightened to  avoid leakage before placing the log splitter horizontally.

NOTICE Periodically check the oil level to ensure it is between the two grooves on the dipstick. Refill when the oil reaches the lower level.

Use hydraulic oilI SO VG 22.
The following hydraulic oils or equivalent are recommended for the log splitter’s hydraulic transmission system:

• SHELL Tellus 22
• MOBIL DTE 11
• ARAL Vitam GF22
• BP Energol HLP-HM22
