DR  4 -Ton WOOD SPLITTER Safety & Operating Instructions 15
How to Free a Jammed Log from the Wedge
1. If you want to stop the wood splitter,
first release the Electric Motor Start
Button and then release the Operator
Handle so that the ram fully retracts
(Figure 8).
2. Insert a plastic or wooden wedge under
the jammed log (Figure 8) and activate the
ram to push the wood wedge under the
jammed log.
3. Repeat this process, using progressively
larger wedges, until the jammed log is
freed (Figure 8).
4. Lift the log off the wood splitter wedge
after it is loosened.
WARNING!
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 motor cover and hydraulic pump cover, etc.
