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 to sharpen it too much (like a knife 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 21 for a general idea.
To reduce risk of serious
cuts, always wear leather
gloves when sharpening
splitting wedge.
