5. OPERaTION cONTINUED
5.4.6 Always place log on the highest feasible table position to ensure the
maximum stroke of the splitting wedge through the lodge.
5.4.7 Place log onto the support table ensuring that it is vertical and sitting flat
on the table as shown above at (P) in fig.10. It is essential that the wedge
and support table will contact the log square on.
Never attempt to split a
log if it is sitting at an angle.
5.4.8 take hold of the control handles and move the guard assemblies inwards
(see 's' in fig.10 above) until the serrated log clamps (r) make contact
with the log. do not press the control handles down until the log is firmly
gripped as shown below in fig.11.
5.4.9 Push the control levers down to start the splitting. releasing either lever
stops the motion of the splitting wedge. When both handles are released
the wedge returns to the start position.

5.4.10 stack as you work to keep the work area hazard free. clean up
accumulated wood chips and other debris to keep the work area safe.
5.4.11 When work is finished allow the splitting wedge to return to the rest
position and switch off the splitter and unplug it from the mains supply.
5.4.12 clean the log splitter and tidy the work area ready for the next work
session.
5.5
Obtuse Wedge
When longer logs are not fully
split, the obtuse wedge
can be fitted to assist the splitting
process as shown on the right.
the obtuse wedge slides over the
main splitting wedge and is held in
place by tightening the knob on
the top. the two stage wedge
forces the splitting pieces further
apart to achieve a fully split log.
