Freeing A Jammed Log - Benchmark 65575-9 Manual

9 TON ELECTRIC LOG SPLITTER
Split the log in the direction of its growing grain. Do not place log across the log
splitter for splitting. It may be dangerous and may seriously damage the machine.
Do not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at the same time. One of them may fly up
and hit you.

FREEING A JAMMED LOG

Always set logs firmly on the log
retaining plates and work table. 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.
• Release both controls.
• After the log pusher moves back
and completely stops at its starting
position, insert a wedge of wood
under the jammed log.
• Start the log splitter to push the
wedge of wood to go completely
under the jammed one.
• Repeat above procedure with
sharper slope wedge of wood until
the log is completely freed.
Do not try to knock the jammed log
off. Knocking about will damage the
machine or may launch the log and
cause an accident.
