3. 

Start the Log Pusher and push the wood wedge 
completely under the jammed log.

4. 

Insert a second wood wedge under the log and repeat 
step 3. (Fig. 13)

5. 

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the jammed log releases 
from the wedge. (Fig. 14)

Always set logs firmly on the log retaining plates and 
worktable. Make sure logs will not twist, rock, or slip while 
being split. Do not force the blade by splitting the 

log on the upper part. This will break the blade or damage 
the machine. 

(Fig. 15)

Do not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at simultaneously. 
One of them may fly up and cause injury. 

(Fig. 16)

Do not try to knock the jammed log off. Doing so will 
damage the machine or may launch the log and cause an 
accident.
