1. Grasp the Pïnch A Log on the yellow handle directly behind the safey disk. Be sure that the safety disk points away from your body. ATTENTION: Keep hands and fingers behind the safety disk to prevent injury.
2. Hook the front arm of the tool into the end of the log. This can be accomplished with one hand holding the main handle.
3. Now pull up sharply on the handle to drive the rear arm of the tool into the other end of the log.
4. Lift the log to carry, throw, or stack!
5. If the log is hard to pick up (or is standing on its end), simply lift with both handles (driving the pinch points into the log.)
6. To disengage a log simply push towards the log with a jolt motion to dislodge from both pinch points. NOTE: This is not possible if the tips are dug deeply in the wood!
This video illustrates the jolt motion.
For a more controlled release, for stacking, pull both handles towards each other. Most firewood can be easily picked up and moved with one hand, as the weight of the log creates the pinching force. Keep pinch points sharp.
7. Please be sure to maintain sharp tips on your Pinch A Log.
8. Please read the complete instruction manual as well as the warning label before use.
