5.
Ensure that the logs you are splitting are less
than 60 cm (24 inches) long and that both ends
are cut as flat as possible.

This prevents the log from sliding out of
position while under pressure.

Place the log against the end plate so that the
direction of the grain matches the direction of
movement for the splitting wedge.
