Electric log splitters make gathering firewood easy — as long as you have a quality model with plenty of power. A log splitter takes the labor out of otherwise difficult work and helps you accumulate more wood in less time. However, it’s important to take the proper safety precautions when using one, including using the appropriate power source.

electric log splittersMost people opt to use electric log splitters outside. When you use your wood splitter outside, though, you probably don’t have easy access to an outlet in your work area. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as plugging your splitter into a common household extension cord. Electric log splitters require a lot of power to get the job done, especially when it comes to splitting tough logs, and a standard extension cord is not going to work. The cord you use for your computer or lamp probably does not conduct enough power to run your wood splitter.

If you are going to use an extension cord with your wood splitter, a short, thick cord is best. Ideally, you should be able to plug it into an outlet that is fairly close to the junction box of your home, barn, or workshop. This will ensure your log splitter receives as much power as possible and prevents the electricity from getting diluted by having to travel too far from the source.
