DR  20-Ton WOOD SPLITTER Safety & Operating Instructions 15
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.
