Sharpening the

Splitting Wedge

Always wear leather gloves when sharpening the splitting wedge.

During the life of your log splitter, you will need to sharpen the splitting wedge periodically. When sharpening the wedge, keep in mind that if you try and keep the wedge sharpened to a razor point (like an axe blade), you will greatly reduce the life of the wedge by always sharpening it. However, if you allow the point to become very dull or bullnosed, your log splitter will have to overwork to split logs, which will decrease the lifespan of the splitter. The optimum point is somewhere between. Refer to Figure 25 for a general idea.
