Figure 15
1. Move the control handle to the FORWARD position to split wood.
2. Remove your left hand from the side of the log once wedge just contacts the
log. Continue moving control handle forward to split the wood.
3. Release the control handle to stop the wedge movement.
4. Move the control handle to the REVERSE position to return the wedge.
Log Dislodger
The log dislodger is designed to remove any partially split wood from the wedge.
This may occur while splitting large diameter wood or freshly cut wood.
WARNING
Never remove partially split wood from the wedge with your hands.
Fingers may become trapped between the split wood.
1. To free the wedge from a partially split piece of wood, place the control
handle in the REVERSE position. As it moves back, the split wood portion will
contact the log dislodger and become detached from the wedge.
2. Once removed from the wedge with the log dislodger, split the wood from
the opposite end or in another location.
