•4-Way Wings create additional pinch points when the wedge is moving forward or backwards. Keep hands clear of the wedge, wedge wings, and the log while the wedge is moving. When the log is caught on the wedge do not use the auto-return feature. Retract wedge manually, paying close attention so the log does not hit the engine or control valve.

•Pay particular attention to stringy wood, such as elm, because it becomes lodged on the wedge easily.
