Stuck Logs

and thick leather gloves.

beam and flat against foot plate, as shown in

and that zone is clear of split logs. The work

Figure 38. Best placement of log against beam
and foot plate (horizontal operation shown).
Never use your hands to remove a log stuck
on wedge, as it could crush hands and fin-
gers during accidental startup. Always use
log dislodger to remove log. If log is still
stuck, turn log splitter OFF and use sledge
hammer and crow bar to remove stuck log.
This log splitter features a dislodger for helping
eject partially split logs or logs that get stuck on
the wedge. To eject a stuck log, move the control
lever to reverse until the split log contacts the dis-
lodger brackets shown in
Figure 39 and slips off
the wedge.
Figure 39. Dislodger location.
If the log remains stuck on the wedge, turn the
log splitter
OFF and use a sledge hammer and
crowbar to remove the log.
