TIPS
Wet or non-seasoned wood is more difficult to split than dry wood because the fibers
stick together. Reversing the block and splitting from the other end may help if you
cannot pull the wood apart.
Similarly large or multiple knots in a log make splitting more difficult. Usually if the log is
rotated so that the knots are vertical to the blade, the wood will split more easily and less
stress is placed on the splitter. This will reduce wear and tear or the possibility of
damaging some components of the splitter.
Damage from overstress or abuse may void the warranty on your firewood splitter. This
splitter is not designed to replace heavy-duty hydraulic powered equipment.
