The handle will return
itself to the neutral
position when not
lifted or lowered.
In this
position there will be
no movement of the
wedge.
LOWERING THE HANDLE WILL LIFT THE WEDGE
Pick your log to be split; the log should have been cut square
at both ends. This is very important as it will reduce the chance
that the log will slip. Position the log under the wedge with the
point of the wedge in the centre of the log.
Place both hands on the handle and lift to lower the wedge
into the log. Stop lowering the wedge if the log starts to go
sideways and reposition.
If the wedge gets stuck, return the wedge to the fully open
position and rock the log free before continuing. When
splitting wood always stand in front of the unit and not to
the side as logs can split with some force and be thrown off
the unit to the sides.
Always keep other people and pets/animals out of this area
when splitting logs.
