FM8(P) & FM10(D/T/TW/P)
Operation
12
Always set logs firmly on the log
retaining plates and work table.
Make sure logs will not twist,
rock or slip while being split. Do
not force the blade by splitting
the log on the upper part. This
will break the blade or damage
the machine.
PETROL ENGINE (FM8P, FM10P)
The petrol engine is supplied without fuel. Before use, fill the fuel
tank as specified in the engine manufacturers handbook included
separately.
Note that the FM8P & FM10P can be supplied with a 2 stroke or 4
stroke engine, consult the engine manufacturers handbook (included
separately), to check which type you have. If you do not have the
engine manufacturers handbook, contact Forest Master.
Start the engine following the procedure given in the engine
manufacturers handbook.
LUBRICATE THE LOG BED
Some types of wood can contain a lot of sap that may occasionally
adhere to the log bed of the log splitter. This can cause the plastic
spacer underneath the moving blade or pusher, to stick to the work
surface, causing the blade to jerk and possibly pulling the spacer
away from underneath the blade.
To avoid this happening, it is recommended to lubricate the log bed
of the log splitter before first use and periodically thereafter.
If the plastic spacer does get pulled from under the blade or pusher,
do not use the log splitter until the spacer has been refitted.
WARNING:
Never use the machine without the plastic
spacer fitted under the blade.
