seated on the beam platform to ensure that the pushing force will remain

FREEING A JAMMED LOG

WARNING! Do not attempt to remove a jammed log with your hands or with
hammer blows. The wood is under pressure and could separate and launch
without warning, causing an injury to you or a bystander.
A log may jam against the wedge without splitting. The following procedure can
free the log. The intent is to remove the jammed log without splitting it.
1. Release the control and allow the wedge to return to the starting position. This
may free the log.
2. Place a triangle-shaped split log against the beam platform. The edge is
pointing toward the unsplit log.
3. Advance the wedge and unsplit log forward, stopping the ram before the log
touches the triangle-shaped log.
4. Insert the narrow edge of the triangle-shaped log under the jammed log.
5. Start the log splitter and push the triangle-shaped log and unsplit log
against the beam platform. Stop advancing before the wedge touches the
triangle-shaped log. This should raise the unsplit log up and off the wedge.
6. Repeat with larger triangle-shaped logs until the unsplit log is free from the
wedge.
7. Discard the jammed log and split it by another method.
