3. Usage safety

ATTENTION! READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.

The terms "device" or "product" are used in the warnings and instructions to refer to:

Kinetic log splitter

3.1. Electrical safety

a) The plug must fit the socket. Do not modify the plug in any way. Using original plugs and matching sockets reduces the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed elements such as pipes, heaters, boilers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if the earthed device is exposed to rain, comes into direct contact with a wet surface or is operating in a damp environment. Water getting into the device increases the risk of damage to the device and of electric shock.
c) Do not touch the device with wet or damp hands.
d) Use the cable only for its designated use. Never use it to carry the device or to pull the plug out of a socket. Keep the cable away from heat sources, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
e) If working with the device outdoors, make sure to use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Using an extension cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If using the device in a damp environment cannot be avoided, a residual current device (RCD) should be applied. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
g) Do not use the device if the power cord is damaged or shows obvious signs of wear. A damaged power cord should be replaced by a qualified electrician or the manufacturer's service centre.
h) To avoid electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or device in water or other liquids. Do not use the device on wet surfaces.
i) Do not use in very humid environments or in the direct vicinity of water tanks.

3.2. Safety in the workplace

a) Make sure the workplace is clean and well lit. A messy or poorly lit workplace may lead to accidents. Try to think ahead, observe what is going on and use common sense when working with the device.
b) Do not use the device in a potentially explosive environment, for example in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. The device generates sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.
c) If you discover damage or irregular operation, immediately switch the device off and report it to a supervisor without delay.
d) If you are unsure about whether the product is operating correctly or if you find damage, please contact the manufacturer's service centre.
e) Only the manufacturer's service centre may make repairs to the product. Do not attempt to make repairs yourself!

f) In case of fire, use a powder or carbon dioxide ( CO₂ ) fire extinguisher (one intended for use on live electrical devices) to put it out.
g) Children or unauthorised persons are forbidden to enter a work station. A distraction may result in loss of control over the device.
h) Use the device in a well-ventilated space.
i) The device produces dust and debris during operation. It is important to protect bystanders from their harmful effects.
j) Use the “EMERGENCY STOP” if there is a risk of injury or death, accident or damage.
k) Regularly inspect the condition of the safety labels. If the labels are illegible, they must be replaced.
I) Please keep this manual available for future reference. If this device is passed on to a third party, the manual must be passed on with it.
m) Keep packaging elements and small assembly parts in a place not available to children.
n) Keep the device away from children and animals.
o) If this device is used together with another equipment, the remaining instructions for use shall also be followed.

b) Do not use the device if the “ON/OFF” switch does not function properly (does not switch the device on and off). Devices which cannot be switched on and off using the “ON/OFF” switch are hazardous, should not be operated and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the device from the power supply before commencement of adjustment, cleaning and maintenance. Such a preventive measure reduces the risk of accidental activation.
d) When not in use, store in a safe place, away from children and people not familiar with the device who have not read the user manual. The device may pose a hazard in the hands of inexperienced users.
e) Keep the device in perfect technical condition.

4. Use guidelines

The product is intended for splitting wooden blocks.

The user is liable for any damage resulting from unintended use of the device.

4.1. Preparing for use

Function test must be performed before each use!

Before working on this machine, test the start and stop control function.

Test the interlocking guard; when you open the interlocking guard, the motor must stop immediately.

Two-hand control should also be tested; the splitting process should be stopped if either manual control is released.

If any abnormality is found, stop using the machine and find help from our authorized representative.

4.2. Device use

1) Transport the machine to designated workplace, on a flat even ground. The machine will vibrate when working, so fix the front support on the work bench which should have minimum height of 33cm and fix the work bench on the ground to ensure stability.

2) The operation handle should be in the starting position. Check all the moving parts are normal. Any abnormality should be addressed by a professional technician.
3) Put the wood material flat on the worktable, one end against the chopper. Attention! Pay special attention to the placement of the wood. See the picture below.

4) Use one hand to operate handle #1 shown in the picture, the other hand operate handle #2 in the direction shown in the picture. The ejector part will quickly stretch out and split the wood. Under the function of the spring, the ejector part goes back to its initial position immediately, waiting for next round.

5) Transport the split wood away from the workplace and repeat above procedure to cut next wood material.
6) If blockage occurs during operation, stop continuing to split, release the handle to let the pressure plate back to the rest position. Unplug the machine and then unblock the clogging, take care of your hands during this operation, wearing safety gloves.
