20-Ton WOOD SPLITTER Safety & Operating Instructions

Four-way, Reversible, Slip-on Wedge Installation
(Optional)

The following procedure is for the installation of the optional Four-Way Wedge (Figure 13)
for the DR 20-Ton WOOD SPLITTER.



















Each DR 20-Ton WOOD SPLITTER has a permanently installed, 12 " single-blade,

fixed wedge. The fixed wedge splits logs into two pieces.

The fixed wedge also serves as a mounting for the optional Four-way Wedge (Figure

13).

The optional Four-way Wedge will split a log (up to 24 inches in diameter) into 4 pieces

on each push block cycle.

To vary the size of the resulting split pieces of wood, simply turn the Four-way Wedge

over and slip it back on the fixed wedge (Figure 13).

Important! Do not use a slip-on wedge with logs that have more than one knot or

that have twisted grain.

WARNING! Always remove the Slip-on Wedge before transporting the splitter.
