control lever, toward the baseplate. If the
log moves before it is contacted by the

stop the wedge, then reposition the log
and continue splitting. Hold the lever to
extend the wedge until the log is split or
the cylinder rod stops at its maximum trav-
el position. STOP the forward movement
if you feel an unsafe condition is occurring.
DO NOT reach forward to grab the split wood.

. Once the wedge reaches its full forward
downward travel, push UP on the control
lever to retract the cylinder.
