Sharpening Wedge - Forest-Master FM16 Bedienungsanleitung

SHARPENING WEDGE

After using the log splitters for some time, sharpen the wedge of the
log splitter using a fine-toothed file and smooth any burrs or crushed
area along the cutting edge.
MOVING CARRIAGE
When new, it may be noticed that occasionally the moving carriage is
slow to return or does not return fully when the controls are released.
This is due to the necessary close fit between the plastic spacer that
is fitted under and down the sides of the main body. With use this
spacer will wear so that the carriage returns correctly.
If after using the log splitter for a while, the carriage is still slow to
return or does not return fully, follow the procedure below.
Lie the splitter on one side and remove the two bolts securing the
blade on that side. Remove the washers from the outside of the
carriage and place them between the carraige and the blade. If it is
difficult to get the washers in then the gap can be opened with a flat
bladed screwdriver.
Test the log splitter and if the carriage is still not returning correctly,
repeat the procedure with the bolts on the opposite side.
Note that when the plastic spacer has finally bedded in, it is
recommended to return the washers to the outside position.
PETROL ENGINE
For maintenance and trouble shooting of the petrol engine, see the
manufacturer's handbook included separately.
