Freeing A Jammed Log - Quality Craft LS5T-H Manual Del Propietário

LOG SPLITTER OPERATION / FREEING A JAMMED LOG
After this time interval, the oil under pressure will be overheated and the machine could be damaged. For splitting an extremely hard log,
rotate it by 90˚ to see whether it can be split in a different direction. In any case, if you are not able to split the log, this means that its hardness
exceeds the capacity of the machine and thus the log should be discarded to protect the log splitter.
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.
Split 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

- Release both controls.
- After the log pusher moves back and completely stops at its starting
position, insert a wooden wedge under the jammed log.
- Start the log splitter to push the wooden wedge completely under the jammed one.
- Repeat above procedure with sharper sloped wooden wedge until the log is
completely freed.
Do not try to force the jammed log off. Forcing will damage the machine or may
launch the log and cause accident.
