How to Free a Jammed Log from the Wedge
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.
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.
