Useful information while operating the machine.
ATTENTION – DANGER!
IMPORTANT!
Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels af-
xed to the log splitter. Learn its application and limita-
tions as well as the specic potential hazards.
WARNING!
• Check your log splitter before use. Keep the guards in place and in working order.
Check that any keys, tools or adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool area
before switching on. Replace damaged, missing or failed parts immediately. Check
that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with the
power, voltage and frequency of the motor. Check that there is an earth connection,
and a regulation dierential switch upstream. Never open the pushbutton box on
the motor – should this be necessary consult a qualied electrician. Make sure your
ngers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when plugging in or unplugging the
log splitter. If you need to use an extension lead, ensure that it is no longer than
10 metres and its cross-section is no less than 2.5 mm² to allow sucient current
ow to the motor. Use lockable and adequately insulated connections. Connections
must be made with protected material suitable for outdoor use. When unpacking
the log splitter please ensure that you remove the wooden packing block and it’s
securing strap from under the motor.
• Do NOT operate the log splitter whilst under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication that could aect your ability to use the apparatus correctly.
• Dress appropriately – do NOT wear loose clothing, ties, jewellery or anything that
could be caught in the moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive gloves
and strong footwear are recommended.

APPLICATION CONDITIONS OF THE LOG SPLITTER 2
• Put the log splitter on a 60-70cm high, stable, at and level work bench where
there is plenty of room. If possible use a special log splitter stand. Bolt the log
splitter to the work surface if it tends to walk, slip or slide. Keep your work area
clean and well-lit. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do NOT use the log splitter in wet
or damp areas or expose it to rain. Do NOT use in an area where fumes from paint,
solvents or inammable liquid pose a potential hazard.
• Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the logs to be split. The ends of
the logs must be cut square. Branches must be cut o ush with the trunk.
• Always pay full attention to the movement of the log pusher.
• Keep your hands away from splits and cracks which open up in the wood – they
may close suddenly and cause injury. Do NOT attempt to remove jammed logs with
your hands.
• The log splitter will do a better and safer job at its designed pressure/rate. Never
try to split logs larger than those indicated in the specications table. This could
be dangerous and may damage the machine. Never leave the log splitter running
unattended.
• Always pay full attention to the movement of the log pusher. Do not attempt to
load the log on until the log pusher has stopped. Keep your hands away from all
moving parts.
• Unplug when not in use, before making adjustments, changing parts, cleaning or
working on the log splitter.
• Dispose of used oil responsibly. Take to an authorised collection point – refer to
your local council for details. Do NOT discharge into drains, soil or water.
The log splitter is for domestic use. It is designed for operation under ambient temperatures between +5°C
and 40°C and for installation at altitudes of no more than 1000m above MSL.
The surrounding humidity should be less than 50% at 40°C. It can be stored or transported under ambient
temperatures between -25°C and 55°C.
• Cover or tie back long hair to prevent it getting caught in the machinery. ALWAYS
wear safety goggles and ear protectors.
• Never stand on the log splitter. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Ensure that the ground beneath the log splitter is not slippery. Do not store anything
above or near the log splitter which would necessitate standing on the machine to
reach it.
• The log splitter must always be operated by one person ONLY. Other people
should keep a safe distance from the work area when the log splitter is in operation
or switched on. Keep children away from the log splitter at all times. Store in a
locked workshop and disconnect master switches after use.

The diameter of the log is not the only factor that deter-
mines how easy it is to split. A small log may be dicult
to split if it has knots or is a particularly hard wood.

LOG SPLITTER OPERATION 5
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 eciently on dry,
seasoned logs.
3. Position the log splitter securely on level ground or on a
secure stand. If necessary stabilise the wheels to prevent
the log splitter from moving during use. If using an ex-
tension 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 allow 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 rmly on the main body, lying at
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 Fig1) and the log
pusher
(Ref B on Fig1) 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 us-
ing the green starting switch (Ref F on Fig1). Using both
hands press down on both operating handles (Ref C
on Fig1). 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.
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.
WARNING!

TO FREE A JAMMED LOG 6
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.
Press the green button to stop the log splitter. Tighten the screw (Fig. 3) and unplug the appliance when
operation is nished. Re-tighten the screw when the work is complete or when moving the log splitter to
avoid oil leaks.
Log splitter is supplied without the hydraulic oil. Please
don’t start the engine without filling the sufficient
amount of hydraulic oil.
WARNING!
www.ks-power.de/en |4

Never hammer a jammed log or place your hands near
the log when attempting to free a jammed log.
WARNING!
Periodically check the oil level to ensure it is between the
two grooves on the dipstick. Refill when the oil reaches
the lower level.
NOTICE
SHARPENING THE WEDGE AND CLEANING THE GUIDE RAIL 7
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 OIL 8
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.
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
