Wood Feeding, Cutting And Splitting - Hakki Pilke Raven 33 Manual

If a fault occurs during the test run, determine the cause of the fault and take remedial action as deemed neces-
sary. The machine must be shut down and disconnected from the power source for the duration of both the diag-
nostics and repairs.
Note! Do not leave a running machine unsupervised!
3.3

WOOD FEEDING, CUTTING AND SPLITTING

The in-feed conveyor belt or feed roller feeds the wood to be processed into the machine. Feed wood into the
machine using control lever C (Figure 15 in Section 3.1). Lever A can be used to perform a long feed motion.
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 measuring device to the desired measurement.
1. Choose the log to process. Note that the maximum log diameter is 33 cm. The knottiness and shape of
the log can increase the diameter.
2. Use the in-feed conveyor to feed wood into the cutting section by pushing up lever C (Figure 15 in Section
3.1). The in-feed conveyor belt can also be driven forward by pushing lever A (Figure 15) to the right,
especially when the log is further away from the cutting section and a longer and continuous feed mo-
tion is required.
3. Once the log stops for cutting in the mechanical measuring device, lock the log in place with the log press
by pressing down handle B (Figure 15).
4. Cut the log by pulling down lever C (Figure 15), which activates the saw chain and lowers the saw bar.
Simultaneously, the splitting beam returns to its initial position.
5. Return the saw bar to the upper position by pushing up lever C (Figure 15). This moves the splitting beam
forwards and splits the log. Simultaneously, the in-feed conveyor pushes the log forwards for the next
cut.
Note! You should only move the splitting beam forward for the required length. For example, if you
have adjusted the machine for logs of 35 cm in length, the splitting beam needs to move only approx.
37 cm. This greatly increases the machine's output.
Note! The saw should not be forcefully pressed into the wood. Instead, let the saw chain bite into the
wood on its own. This will also significantly extend the service life of the saw bar and chain.
