OPERATING THE LOG BUSTER

This Logbuster is designed to be operated by one person only.

• Do not try to split a log that is larger than 

those shown in the picture.

• Do not put your hands anywhere near 

the splitting wedge during use. 

• Keep your hands away from splits and 

cracks which open in the log; these can 
close suddenly and crush your fingers.

• If the log moves away from the wedge, lower the table and turn the log 

90° and try again.

• Do not leave the log splitter unattended when the ram is under pressure.

TO SPLIT THE LOG

1. Keeping the log stable and your 

hands clear, pump the hydraulic 
foot pedal to raise the log up 
against the wedge.

2. Continue pumping the foot pedal 

until the log is split.

• For hard logs, try to rotate the 

log by 90° to see if 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.

• Remove the wood pieces and clear the area of any debris.

TO LOWER THE SPLITTER TABLE

1. Press the release lever with your foot to lower the splitter table.

FREEING A JAMMED LOG

1. Press the release lever with your foot to lower the log splitter table.

2. Tap the top of the log with a rubber mallet to release the log.

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.
