Control Handle
Refer to Figure 12 for the following steps.
1. Move the control handle to the FORWARD position to split wood.
2. Remove your left hand from the side of the log once wedge just
contacts the log. Continue moving control handle forward to split
the wood.
3. Release the control handle to stop the wedge movement.
4. Move the control handle to the REVERSE position to return the
wedge.
Log Dislodger
The log dislodger is designed to remove any partially split wood from
the wedge. This may occur while splitting large diameter wood or
freshly cut wood.
WARNING
Never remove partially split wood from the wedge with your hands.
Fingers may become trapped between the split wood.
1. To free the wedge from a partially split piece of wood, place the
control handle in the REVERSE position. As it moves back, the
split wood portion will contact the log dislodger and become
detached from the wedge.
2. Once removed from the wedge with the log dislodger, split the
wood from the opposite end or in another location.
