How to Use

1) Place the Lightningbolt in the exact position required. For example: When splitting wood, wood must be placed on a hard surface. Always place the wedge on the outer diameter of the wood.

2) With the Lightningbolt in a working position, remove locking pin.

3) Hold the outer power bar with both hands approximately 12" to 18" apart. It is important to find ones' own comfort zone for the exact working position on the power bar.

4) Using a long powerful stroke, slide the power bar up to your own lifting range, then bring the power bar down striking the tool head.

Please note: the longer the striking stroke combined with the speed over the mass results in greater compression against the tool head, maximizing the Lightningbolt's potential power. 

5) Once task is completed, replace locking pin.

Safety Tips

Always wear safety glasses, bystanders should also wear safety glasses.

Before using or transporting, insure power bar is in full contact with tool head and in locked position.

This tool should not be struck by or against an equally hard or harder object (such as a hammer, sledge or maul) or chipping may occur causing eye or bodily injury.

When using the Lightningbolt keep all hands and feet away from both the impact zone of the tool head and the area in which the power bar and the tool heads meet.

Handle with care and avoid dropping.
