Splitting A Log - Forest-Master Fast Fire FM6FFE Manual

SPLITTING A LOG

Stand towards the rear of the log splitter, on the
opposite side to the flywheel.
To split a log with the electric version, press and hold
the button to start the motor. Once the flywheel has
spun up, push the ram engaging lever fully forward.
Once the ram hits the log, pull the lever back and
release the motor button and the ram will return.
Note that for soft wood the flywheel does not have to
be spun up to full power.
If the log does not split fully through, DO NOT keep
the power on and the lever engaged. Release them
and have a second go.
To split a log with the petrol version, start the engine then press the trottle trigger to rev the engine
up. Once the flywheel has spun up, push the ram engaging lever fully forward. Once the ram hits
the log, pull the lever back and release the motor button and the ram will return. As with the electric
model, do not hold the throttle and lever on if it does not split fully.
If splitting a log that has already been split,
always place the log so that the split face is
uppermost and the bark covered outer face of
the log is against the bed of the log splitter.
WARNING: Never place the split face or faces of a log against the bed of the log splitter.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT hold the power on and lever engaged if the log does not fully split.

NEVER place a split log with the split face or faces
against the bed of the log splitter, as this can cause
the log to jam against the log guides as it splits,
thereby bending and possibly breaking the log
guides and possibly the body of the log splitter.
