The Handle Yoke must move just past center as it contacts the Bolt Stop. If it is at the center position, or off center in the wrong
direction, the force of splitting a log will be transferred through the Engagement Handle and could cause injury.

7. Push the Engagement Handle all the way forward to confirm the Steel Bushing Yoke is moving just past center.

When using the Splitter for the first time after this adjustment, split smaller diameter logs with no knots to verify that the
adjustments are correct before trying larger diameter tougher logs.
