Swing the spike frame up, pull it out
and refit in the required holes.
The spike frame has different size
holes at either side to ensure correct
assembly.
The spike frame is correctly adjusted
when it is at an angle of 45° with the log
in position.
If this angle is too flat, there is a risk
that the spikes will not engage
properly in the wood. If the angle is
too steep, the log will not be held
securely, it may become unstable
and fall.
Fitting the log
Warning!
Wood with a
smooth and hard
or
damp and slippery surface
may
slip out of position and fall. Be
particularly careful to reduce the risk
of personal injury.
If you cannot engage the spikes in
the wood, do not use the sawbuck
for cutting.
Avoid lifting excessive weight for
your personal conditions.
Slide the wood into the Smart
Holder from the long side of the
support frame – pushing the spike
frame up at the same time.
Logs up to about
4 feet (
1.20 m
)
Slide home the wood until it projects
about
2 inch (
5 cm
)
beyond
the spike frame.
Push the spikes firmly into the
wood. To do this, press down the
long end of the log.
Logs longer than
4 feet (
1.20 m
)
Position long logs so that about 1/4 of
the log is at the short side and 3/4 at the
long side of the support frame.
This ensures optimum stability and
balance. Never position the log with
equal lengths at both sides.
Always make sure during cutting work
that weight distribution is correct.
At least two spikes of the spike frame
and two spikes of the support frame
must be engaged in the log to ensure it
is held firmly in position.
Resharpen the spikes if necessary.
Dull spikes are difficult to engage in the
wood.
