•
If the log moves away from the blade, retract the ram and rotate the
log through 90
O
as shown in
Fig. 3.
•
Do not attempt to load the log in the machine whilst the log pusher is in
motion, you could get trapped and injured.
•
Keep your hands well away from any splits and cracks which open in
the log; these may close suddenly and crush your fingers.
•
Never attempt to split a log for longer than 5 seconds. After this time interval, the oil
under pressure is overheated and the machine could be damaged. It is therefore
better to stop and rotate the log by 90
O,
as shown above, to see whether it can be
split in a different position.
•
Not being able to split the log within this time, indicates that its hardness exceeds the
capacity of the machine and it should therefore be
discarded so as not to cause damage/injury.
•
Do not force the blade by pushing the log on the
upper part (Fig. 4), as this can cause the blade to
break or damage the body of the machine. Always
set the log on the guides.
•
Never leave the machine unattended while it is
running. If you leave the machine, even for a short
time, disconnect from the power supply.
•
NEVER use the machine whilst under the influence
of alcohol, drugs, medicines, or when you are tired.
A clear mind is essential for safety.
•
Never request the assistance of another person to help you remove a jammed log.
•
NEVER use the machine in a dangerous environment i.e. damp or wet conditions, or
expose it to rain. DO NOT use in a potentially explosive atmosphere (around paint,
flammable liquids etc.)
•
ALWAYS comply with the requirements for electrical installation .
•
Make sure that the machine and the cable never come in contact with water.
•
Treat the power cable with care, do not attempt to move the machine by pulling the
cable. Do not yank the cable to unplug it; keep the cable away from excessive heat,
oil and sharp objects.
•
ALWAYS disconnect the power cable when not in use, when carrying out maintenance
work or when moving the machine.
•
Never use the Logbuster if it is not in perfect order or if it needs servicing.
•
Before starting work, check correct functioning of all the safety devices and check for
soundness of welded joints, securing nuts & bolts.
Figure 2 shows the maximum log size that can be split. Please note that the diameter of the
log is indicative: i.e. A small log can be difficult to split if it has knots or a particularly tough fibre.
On the other hand, if the wood has regular fibres, it is not difficult to split logs with diameters
greater than that shown in Figure 2. It is important
NOT
to persist if the log does not split on the
first attempt, as the pump may be damaged by the oil overheating. This could occur when
the machine is made to work under maximum stress in an attempt to split excessively fibrous,
knotty wood or wet, green wood. Do not attempt to split a log for longer than 5 seconds.
