Use of log fixture
On left control handle is a log fixture device which can be held down against the wood.
The fixture device can be moved along the handle by loosening the bolt to fit any piece of
wood being split. In addition to keeping the wood clamped, it can also be used as a
counter-holder for clamped wood.
Removal of pinched wood
If a piece of wood gets stuck on the wedge, remove it as instructed below:
1. If the wood is loosely fastened around the wedge, the wooden holder can be used to
counter hold when the wood is pulled up by the wedge.
2. If the wood is very stuck: Move the wedge up so that the piece of wood is
approximately 5-10 cm above the base plate and release the control handles
3. Take a heavy tool with a handle, e.g. a large hammer or ax (the back of the head) or
just a larger piece of wood and hit it on the wood that is pinched around the wedge.
Make sure to keep a good distance with your feet so that they are not hit by the falling
wood.
4. Turn the piece of wood over and split it again from the opposite side until the wood is
completely split.
WARNING: Only the user of the log splitter may loosen a pinched piece of wood.
Other people must not help as it can result in dangerous situations.
