MAINTAINING THE DUOCUT BLADE ALIGNMENT DURING
SPLITTING
Under most circumstances when using your Duocut electric log
splitter there will not be a problem if the blades encounter a knot,
as the log splitter will simply stop splitting with the blade that
encounters the knot and continue splitting at the other blade.
However there is a possibility that, if the moving Duocut blade
encounters a knot at a shallow angle then rather than stopping,
the blade may be deflected off line and if splitting continues the
moving carriage arms can be bent out of alignment.
When splitting logs, you should therefore monitor the moving
duocut blade and if you observe the blade being deflected away
from the centreline of the splitter, you should stop splitting
immediately. After the blade has returned to its stop you should
turn the log through 90 degrees about the long axis and try
splitting the log again.
