Always set logs firmly on the log
retaining plates and work table. Make
sure that the log will not twist, rock or
slip while being split. Do not force the
blade by splitting the log on the upper
part of the wedge (as shown in the
diagram).
This will break the blade or
damage the machine.
Break the log in the direction of its growing grain. Do not place log across the log splitter for
splitting. It may be dangerous and may seriously damage the machine.
Do not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at the same time. One of them may be thrown by the
machine which could cause serious injuries to the user.

sloped wedges of wood until the log is
completely freed.

launch the log and cause serious
injuries.
