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.
precautions:
Never
assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Always follow these
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.
Never allow children to operate the Log Splitter.

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, visit our website at www.DRpower.com or contact DR Power Equipment for toll-free support at: 1-800-dr-owner
(376-9637) 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 Toggle Switch to the on position (Figure 5).
Stopping the Motor
1. Push the red Toggle Switch to the off position to shut the Motor off (Figure

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.
Figure 6
Figure 7
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.
Never attempt to split wood across the grain. The Log Splitter was not
designed for cross-grain splitting. Doing so could damage the Log
Splitter and may cause personal injury (Figure 7).
Make sure both ends of the log you are splitting are cut as square as
possible. This will prevent the log from sliding out of position while under
pressure (Figure 8).

THE RAPIDFIRE 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.
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 Ram stops (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 DR K10 RAPIDFIRE LOG SPLITTER
To help maintain your DR K10 RAPIDFIRE 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.
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.
End of Season and Storage
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.

protective material (especially the Motor).
