Gas or Electric Powered Log Splitter?

Gas or Electric Powered Log Splitter?
Home users may opt for a manual or small electric log splitter for preparing firewood from larger logs of wood.
However, if you need a powerful splitter to cut larger logs, then the gas powered model could well be perfect for you. If you anticipate only using a log splitter once, hiring one to save costs is a worthwhile option.
After finding the right splitter, it’s time to cut some logs.
Let’s start splittin’ some wood!
Place the log against the endplate. When positioning the log, make sure it goes against the wood’s grain.
Keep the log steady by placing your left hand on the side of the log opposite of the beam. Never, ever, ever put your hand at the end of the log, or between the log and the endplate. (Common sense, but we have to mention it.)
Move the control handle to the Forward position and watch the wedge do all the work. Go wedge go.
As soon as the wedge contacts the log, immediately remove your left hand and continue to hold the control handle in the Forward position.
Release the control handle to stop the wedge.
Move the control handle to the Reverse position and return the wedge to its starting position.
If for any reason the wedge only partially splits the wood or becomes stuck, immediately move the control handle to the Reverse position. Then, move the control handle back to the Forward position. This should allow the wedge to gain momentum and push through the log – like a running back picking up steam before hitting the hole.
*Caution: never try and remove a partially split log with your hands. Wedges show fingers no mercy.
