USING CONTROL HANDLE
The control handle has three positions.
5. To place the beam in the Horizontal Position proceed as follows:
1) Pull the vertical beam lock out and rotate it down. Pivot the beam to
the horizontal position.
2) The horizontal beam lock is self-locking. The spring loaded lock will
snap into place when the beam is lowered into position.
FORWARD:
To split wood. Move the control handle to the FORWARD
position to move wedge toward the log to split.
NEUTRAL:
To stop wedge. Release the control handle or move the lever
to the NEUTRAL position to stop the wedge movement.
REVERSE:
To return the wedge. Move the control handle to the
REVERSE position, the wedge returns automatically toward the cylinder.
When the wedge is fully retracted, the control handle returns to the
NEUTRAL position automatically.
Do not hold the handle in the REVERSE position when fully retracted.
NOTICE
• The control handle will return to the NEUTRAL position as soon as the
handle is released (FORWARD position only), and the wedge stops
moving forward.
