Removing a Log Stuck on the Splitting Cone

If pulling the splitting table backwards fails to remove the log from the cone, stop the machine
by switching off its power source.
1. Use an axe to split the stuck log off the cone. Use the right amount of force and precision
to avoid damage or injury to the machine, the axe, or yourself.
2. If the wood does not come free with the axe, cut the wood into smaller pieces with a hand
saw or chain saw, taking extreme care to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the saw or the
machine.

Maintenance

Note! The machine must always be disconnected from the power source
(by disconnecting the PTO shaft or electrical cable) before servicing!

Sharpening the Saw Blade

Keep the blade sharp:
- a sharp blade will cut quicker and with less power;
- a badly dulled blade heats up during cutting and may thus lose its pre-stressing;
- less cracking between teeth occurs with a sharp blade.
- Use for example a 6" v-cut barette file for sharpening.
