You’ve got your work pile, you’ve got your chipper but it then decides to just not cooperate. There’s no need to panic, though as this is where our Replacement Spark Plug will get you back up and running in no time.

This replacement Spark Plug has been designed specifically to be used across our Compact Petrol Wood Chippers, so you don’t have to worry about being limited to buying different plugs for different machines.

Offering hassle-free installation and reliable operation, it has been created to withstand the rigorous demands of wood chipping, ensuring consistent ignition and efficient power delivery, so you can get back to chipping without delay.

Why is it important to maintain it? It’s simple, without a functioning spark plug, your chipper would continue to struggle with providing constant power as well as producing unusual noises and vibrations, which could damage the machine further down the line, resulting in costly repairs.

It’s compatible with the following machines:

FM6DD
FM6DD-MUL
FM6DDES
FM6DDES-MUL
FM9DDES
FM14DDES

The Forest Master Fast Fire Log Splitter is a petrol kinetic log splitter capable of producing 8 tons of splitting power, making easy work of fresh and seasoned wood easy. The machine is capable of splitting logs up to 520mm in length and 400mm in width.  The fast fire utilises the incredible power of the Honda GX35 Engine.

What’s the benefit of the fast fire over standard log splitters? One of many benefits is that the latest kinetic technology powers the Fast Fire, the splitter uses the powerful and forever reliable Honda GX35 engine to power a single flywheel system that stores energy for a single quick burst to split your logs. This fast, reliable and efficient technology and design drastically reduce the cycle time of the splitter to 3 seconds. You can split wood as fast as you can load it!

Another key benefit is that the fast-fire kinetic splitter features an automatic belt tension system. This means that you are not required to tension the belts. No hassle or inconvenience, just plug in and you’re ready to go.

The fast-fire petrol kinetic log splitter is a new and innovative machine on the market which is the key to splitting that stacked pile of wood you’ve been avoiding for a while, in record time with minimal effort. Long gone are the days of backbreaking work chopping logs. Want to learn more about how kinetic log splitters operate? check out our blog post ‘what is a kinetic log splitter and why you need one‘.

This petrol kinetic log splitter is equipped with a stand that features wheels at the rear and locking castors at the front. This allows the machine to be moved around easily in a workshop or garage. You can also choose to operate the stand at full height or as a low stand closer to the ground if you have heavier logs to lift. Also included are our highly-rated workbench and guard. Unlike other safety cages fitted by other manufacturers, our guard features no holes in the side panels. When holes are present within the guard, they often catch logs as they’re splitting and damage the machine.

It arrives pre-built, fully tested and ready for use. Simply fit the supplied workbench and guard, as well as raise the stand if preferred. Add fuel and you’re ready to start splitting!

Why choose a petrol log splitter over an electric model? The Fast Fire is built for long-lasting, rapid and efficient log splitting. This is why we have designed it so that the Honda GX35 petrol engine only utilises the revs it requires to split the log. Whereas, competitor machines operate at full power continuously. This means that the life span of the fast fire is greatly increased as well as saving on fuel costs as it doesn’t operate at full power unless you’re splitting tougher logs.

As always, any purchase made from ourselves comes with a full warranty and direct access to our expert technical advice line – talk directly to the engineers who have designed and tested the machine from the ground up.
