Always set logs firmly on the log
retaining plates and work table.
Make sure logs will not twist, rock
or slip while being split. Do not
force the blade by splitting the log
on the upper part. This will break
the blade or damage the machine.
Break log in the direction of its growing grain. Do not place log across the log splitter for splitting. It
may be dangerous and may seriously damage the machine.
Do not attempt to split 2 logs at the same time. One of them may fly up and hit you.
FREEING A JAMMED LOG
• Release both controls.
• After the log pusher moves back and
completly stops at its starting position,
insert a wedge of wood under the
jammed log.
• Start the log splitter in order to push
the wedge of wood completely under
the jammed one.
• Repeat the above procedure with
sharper sloped wedges until the
log is completely freed.
Do not try to knock the jammed log off.
Knocking about will damage the machine
or may launch the log and cause an accident.
