HARD LOGS
After 5 seconds of operation, the pressurised oil will be overheated
and the machine could be damaged. In the case of an extremely hard
log, rotate it by 90
it can be split in a different direction. In any case, if you are not able
to split the log, this means that its hardness exceeds the capacity of
the machine and thus that log should be discarded to protect the log
splitter.
Petrol engine (FM5P, FM8P, FM10P)
Occasionally when splitting very hard logs with a petrol engine
powered log splitter, the engine revs may noticably start to drop off
as the blade progresses through the log. If this happens, release the
lever and close the throttle, which will allow the blade to return to the
start position then open the throttle to build the revs and continue
splitting.
FREEING A JAMMED LOG (FM5,
FM8(P))
Release both controls.
After the log pusher moves
back and completely stops at its
starting position, insert a wood
wedge under the jammed log.
