OPERATION
OPERATING THE LOG BUSTER
This log buster is designed to be operated by one person only
and requires
two handed operation by the user -
The left hand controls the hydraulic
control lever and the right hand
controls the push button switch.
1. Push and hold the push button
switch
2. Then press and hold down the
control lever to start the log
buster.
• The log buster will freeze if
either control is released.
• When both controls are
released, the log pusher returns
to the starting position.
NOTE:
Once you start splitting the log, never reach into the splitting zone.
For extremely hard logs, rotate the log by 90° to see whether it can be split in a
different direction. In any case, if you are still not able to split the log, this
means that the wood exceeds the capacity of the machine and should be
discarded to protect the log buster.
ADJUSTING THE RETURN STOPPING POINT
If you are splitting a pile of shorter logs you may want to prevent the pusher
plate returning all the way back to the start, this will speed up future
operations.
To adjust how far the pusher plate comes back:
1. Extend the ram fully. as shown in “Operating the Log Buster” .
NOTE:
Do not put any logs on the log splitter at this stage.
WARNING: NEVER FORCE THE LOG BUSTER FOR MORE THAN 5 SECONDS
TO SPLIT EXCESSIVELY HARD WOOD. AFTER THIS TIME, THE OIL UNDER
PRESSURE WILL OVERHEAT AND THE MACHINE COULD BE DAMAGED.
