machine. The ends of the logs must be cut square. Branches must be cut off flush
with the trunk.
7. Never attempt to split two logs at once; one may be ejected with possibly serious
damage.
8. Split wood in the direction of the grain. Do not attempt to split a piece of wood
across the grain as this could seriously damage the machine.
9. If the log moves away from the blade, retract the ram and rotate the log through
90
O
10. Do not attempt to load the log in the machine whilst the log pusher is in motion.
11. Keep your hands well away from any splits and cracks which open in the log.
12. Do not force the blade by pushing the log on the
upper part, as this can cause the blade to break or
damage the body of the machine. Always set the
log on the guides.
13. Never leave the machine unattended while it is
running. If you leave the machine, even for a short
time, disconnect from the power supply.
14. Never use the machine whilst under the influence of
alcohol, drugs, medicines, or when you are tired. A
clear mind is essential for safety.
15. Never request the assistance of another person to help you remove a jammed log.
16. Always disconnect the power cable when not in use, when carrying out
maintenance work or when moving the machine.
17. Never use the Log buster if it is not in perfect order or if it needs servicing.
18. Before starting work, check correct functioning of all the safety devices and check
for soundness of welded joints, securing nuts & bolts.
SIZE OF THE LOGS BEING SPLIT
The image on the right shows the maximum log size that can
be split.
• It is important not to attempt to split a log for longer
than 5 seconds as the pump may be damaged by
the oil overheating. This could occur when the wood
being split is excessively fibrous, knotty or wet, green
wood.
NOTE:
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.
• 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 plane.
• 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.
