split in a diff erent direction. In any case, if
you are not able to split the log, this means
that its hardness exceeds the capacity of
the machine and thus that log should be
discarded to protect the log splitter.
Always set logs � rmly 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 pieces of logs at the
same time. One of them may � y up and hit
you.
FREEING A JAMMED LOG
- Release both controls.
- After the log pusher moves back and
completely stops at its starting position,
insert a wedge wood under the jammed
log.
- Start the log splitter to push the wedge
wood to go completely under the
jammed one.
- Repeat above procedure with sharper
slope wedge woods 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 accident.
