Freeing A Jammed Log - Power Fist 8197824 Guide De L'utilisateur

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.
Split the log in the direction of its grain. Do not place the log sideways or diagnally across the log
splitter for splitting. It is 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.
This could damage the machine
or launch the log and cause an accident.
