How to Free a Jammed Log from the Splitting Wedge
•
NEVER PLACE YOUR HANDS NEAR THE LOG WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FREE IT FROM THE WEDGE.
•
NEVER ASK FOR THE ASSISTANCE OF ANOTHER PERSON WHEN FREEING A JAMMED LOG.
•
NEVER TRY TO EXTRACT THE JAMMED LOG BY HITTING IT WITH A TOOL; THIS COULD DAMAGE THE
MACHINE.
1. Release the Operating Handle so that the Ram fully
retracts (Figure 12).
2. Insert a plastic or wooden wedge under the jammed log
(Figure 12) and activate the Ram to push the wedge
under the jammed log.
3. Repeat this process, using progressively larger wedges,
until the jammed log is free (Figure 12).
4. Lift the log off the Wood Splitter after loosening.
