Placing Logs On The In-Feed Conveyor; Feeding And Sawing Wood - Hakki Pilke 38 Pro PTO Instructions Manual

7. Electrical drive: Connect the cable to the socket of the firewood processor, start the machine by
pressing the start button and wait until the electric motor operates at full speed.
8. Start the splitting motion by pressing joystick button A (Figure 11). The splitting motion must be
normal.
9. Do the following to ensure that the saw chain lubrication functions automatically: (If necessary, see
Section 7.0.)
a. Perform a few sawing cycles without wood by pressing joystick button B (Figure 11).
b. Turn off the machine and disconnect it from the power source.
c. Open the guard and see if the saw chain has been supplied with oil.
10. Start the splitting cycle and stop it by opening the cradle guard of the cutting and splitting section.
11. Conduct a test run for the in-feed conveyor's feed and reverse motion with joystick E (Figure 10).
12. Activate the out-feed conveyor using lever A (Figure 10) and adjust the conveyor speed to an
appropriate level using control B (Figure 10). Also ensure that lever A stops and reverses the conveyor.
If a fault occurs during the test run, determine the cause of the fault and take remedial action as deemed
necessary. The machine must be shut down and disconnected from the power source for the duration of both
the diagnostics and repairs.
4.2.

Placing logs on the in-feed conveyor

We recommend the use of auxiliary devices, such as the HakkiFeed 422 timber deck. If a timber deck is not
attached to the machine, the maximum allowed log length is 4.5 m. Always lift and place wood on the in-feed
conveyor in a safe manner that does not put the operator in danger.
Note! Placing logs directly on the in-feed conveyor with a loader is strictly prohibited.
Note! Ensure that the log's centre of gravity stays on the conveyor.
4.3.

Feeding and sawing wood

The in-feed conveyor feeds the wood into the firewood processor. Turn joystick E (Figure 10) to the right to
feed wood into the machine. The feed can be reversed by turning the joystick to the left.
When feeding wood into the machine, make sure that it does not present a risk of your clothes, hands or
other parts getting caught in the machine, due to the shape of the log, for example. Do not use your hand to
guide the log into the cutting section. Adjust the wood measuring device to the desired length and make sure
that the speed of the out-feed conveyor belt is suitable by adjusting it.
1. Choose the log to process. Note that the maximum log diameter is 38 cm. The knottiness and shape of
the log can increase the diameter.
2. Use joystick E to feed the log into the machine with the in-feed conveyor. Turn the lever to the right
to activate the feed.
3. When the log stops at the mechanic measuring device for cutting, hold the log in place by placing
more pressure on wood gripper lever C (Figure 10).
4. Cut the log by pressing joystick push button B (Figure 11). This activates the HakkiCut™ function: the
saw chain starts rotating, the saw chain oil pump performs a pumping cycle and the saw bar moves
down at optimal power.
5. Return the saw bar to the upper position by releasing button B (Figure 11). This also stops the saw
chain.
