6. Pull the chopped log apart until it breaks. Fig. 8.
How to release a jammed log?
1.
Move the log ram backward and arrest it on the magnet.
2.
Place a triangular wooden chock under the log, then move
the log ram forward so that it pushes the chock under the
jammed log.
3.
If the log is not released, keep repeating this procedure,
using larger chocks, until the log is released.
Never use a hammer to release a jammed log, and keep
your hands away from the log.
Do not enlist the aid of a second person - this is a one-
man job. Do not try to release the log by using a hammer,
since this may break the material.
Finishing work:
¾
Attend to that the log ram has gone back to its basic
position.
¾
Follow the care and maintenance instructions.
