the splitting area.
Pieces to be split with the machine in vertical position
should be cut as near to a 90° angle as possible.
Stand piece unsupported or leaned back against the log
carriage beam if possible.
• If you must support a piece, place your hand midway
down the outside surface - away from the beam - and
remove your hand as soon as the pieces is firmly held
between the wedge and the base plate.
• For best splitting results, place logs with the butt
(wider) end on the base plate.
• For horizontal splitting-
• Put one hand on top of log in the middle to keep it
steady until it's held firmly between wedge and
base plate - then get your hand out of there.

• Keep holding valve handle down until split pieces fall
away or wedge reaches full extension, one or two
inches from base plate.
