Sharpening the Wedge

Tools needed:



Fine-Toothed Flat File

1. Before each splitting session, check the sharpness of the Wedge. As required, remove any burrs or flat spots on the Wedge

using a fine-toothed flat file.

Make no Adjustments

DO NOT adjust the maximum pressure limiting screw (Figure 16). The pressure limiting screw has been sealed at the factory to
prevent unauthorized adjusting. Resetting the screw will cause the hydraulic pump to fail to output enough splitting pressure or
cause too much pressure, which may result in serious injury, as well as damage to the machine.
