21.1.5 Freeing jammed logs
Do not try to remove trapped wood by hand, either yourself or with the help of other
people! You could slip off and/or get trapped and seriously injure yourself.

Make sure that the wood does not twist, wob-
ble or slip when splitting. Also note the five-
second time limit for pressurizing.
If the log cannot be split within this period of
time, its hardness exceeds the capacity of the
machine. In this case, turn the log by 90° and
try to split the log this way. If this does not
work either, the log should be sorted out for
safety reasons and to protect the machine.
Always split blocks in the direction of the
grain.
To split, place the blocks firmly on the wood
support boards and the worktable, and keep
your hands away from cracks and tears that
open in the wood.
Never try to split two or more pieces of wood
at the same time. One of them could be cat-
apulted out and hit and injure you.
CAUTION
Note:
Never try to free a jammed logs by hit-
ting it (e.g. with an axe). The hitting could
damage or launch the machine and cause
accidents.
To free a jammed log:
• Release both control elements.
• After the wood slide moves back and
comes to a standstill at its starting position,
place a wedge under the clamped log.
• Start the log splitter to move the wedge so
that it lies completely under the clamped
log.
• Repeat above procedure with sharper
slope wedge woods until the log is com-
pletely freed.
