Removing Stuck Log

Occasionally, logs will not split and become
stuck on the splitting wedge. When this happens,
DO NOT try to remove it by hand or by kicking it.
This can result in personal injury and damage the
log splitter.
Never use your hands to remove a stuck
log, as hydraulic ram could crush hands
and fingers during accidental startup.
Always use a wooden wedge to remove
a stuck log. If log is still stuck, turn log
splitter OFF and use a hammer and crow
bar to remove stuck log.

Figure 7. Wedge positioned to clear a jam.
Note: A piece of split wood set crossways on
log table makes a good wedge, but it must be
thin enough to slide under end of jammed log.
2. Start splitter to push wedge under jammed
log until log lifts off splitting wedge.
Note: If first wedge does not free log, repeat
process with a second wedge until log is free.
