CHECKING THE ALIGNMENT (FM5, FM8 & FM10 All Versions)
Before splitting any logs, the alignment of the Duocut blade should
be checked and adjusted if necessary. The Duocut blade should
point along the centreline of the splitter bed and align with the
edge of the fixed blade.
To adjust the alignment of the
Duocut blade, tighten or loosen
the nuts on the forward end of the
each of the cradle arms to increase
or decrease their tension.
To increase the tension, turn the
rear nut anti-clockwise to loosen it
then turn the front nut clockwise
to tighten it.
To decrease the tension, turn the
front nut anti-clockwise to loosen
it then turn the rear nut clockwise
to tighten it.
MAINTAINING
SPLITTING
Under most circumstances when using your Duocut electric log
splitter there will not be a problem if the blades encounter a knot,
as the log splitter will simply stop splitting with the blade that
encounters the knot and continue splitting at the other blade.
