Loosen the retaining hooks on the log lifting device so that the lifting rod can move freely.
Move the splitting knife (wedge) down until the log lifting device completely rests on the ground.
Roll the log onto the lifting device (the log must be in the area between the two teeth / tips).
Press the return bracket down or the two operating handles upwards and let the splitting knife (wedge)
go up. (CAUTION! Do NOT stay and do NOT allow anyone to stay in the work area of the log lifting
device! Risk of injury!)
As the splitting knife (wedge) goes up, the chain will lift the lifting device and log.
Hold log to ensure it will not roll out of the lifting device.
Once log is standing upwards, set the log in position for splitting.
Split the log, remove split wood, and thus the log lifting device can be lowered down again to load a
new log.
