Operation
•
Always set logs firmly on the log retaining plates (6) and a work table.
•
Make sure logs will not twist, rock or slip while being split.
•
Do not force the blade by splitting the log on the upper part. This will break
the blade or damage the machine.
•
Break the log in the direction of the growing grain. Do not place the log across
the log splitter for splitting.
•
Do not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at the same time due to the risk of per-
sonal injury (by log being flung).
Freeing a jammed log
Fig. 4A
Fig. 4B
•
Release both controls.
•
After the log pusher (1) moves back and completely stops at its starting positi-
on, insert a wedge wood under the jammed log.
•
Start the log splitter to push the wedge wood to go completely under the jam-
med one.
•
Repeat above procedure with sharper slope wedge woods until the log is
completely freed.
Do not try to knock the jammed log off. Knocking will damage the ma-
chine or may launch the log and cause accidents.
