Advantages

The aluminium construction provides a balance of strength and light weight, making handling easier during repeated use. The forged design increases durability compared with cast parts. Front acute-angled grooves and double longitudinal rear grooves minimise jerking back after impact, improving user safety. The wedge is suitable for demanding conditions, including frozen wood.

Suitable for

• Felling trees of various sizes
• Splitting logs and timber
• Working with frozen or hard wood
• Field and forest forestry operations

How to use

Place the wedge into a felling or splitting cut so that the acute-angled front faces the direction of the cut. Strike the wedge head with a suitable hammer or sledge to drive it into the wood until the desired split or levering action is achieved. Use the grooves to help prevent rebound; if additional splitting force is required, use multiple wedges spaced along the cut. Inspect the wedge for damage before use and replace if deformed.

Recommendations

For safe operation, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye and hearing protection) and ensure the striking tool is in good condition. Do not use a damaged wedge. Store the wedge dry and inspect it regularly for wear or cracks.
