Hakki Pilke 55 PRO Manual page 19

The machine features a MultiBlade™ splitting knife, which consists of the basic knife (A in Figure 19) and
what is called a "multiplier knife" (B in Figure 19), which can be lifted to a raised position if the log diameter
is smaller and it is sufficient to split it into eight parts, for example (instead of 16 or 24). The multiplier knife
is raised as follows:
1. Make sure that there is nothing in the
out-feed conveyor to prevent the lifting.
The doors at the sides of the out-feed
conveyor must be closed.
2. Split the last piece of wood to the
halfway point of the knives, at which
point the piece of wood has pushed the
previous piece through the rearmost
knife. (Stop the splitting by pressing the
splitting button again.)
3. Lift multiplier knife B to the top position
(as shown in Figure 19) by turning
control lever A to the left, as shown in
Figure 17.
4. When lowering the blade back to the
lower position, pull cord C in figure 20 to
unlock the multiplier knife and raise the
stopper D to the upper position,
allowing the multiplier knife to lower
into the lower position.
Lower the multiplier knife by completing the steps in reverse order. In other words, the multiplier knife can
be lowered by turning lever A to the right (Figure 17) when locking pin D and the guards have been
detached.
Note! When switching the multiplier knife to the lower position, make sure that the locking lugs in Figure
21 are clean so that the locking pins of the multiplier knife settle properly into place. Before continuing
operation, ensure that the knives are at the same level and fully locked.
When the splitting knife is being lowered, make sure that there are no long pieces of wood attached to
it, preventing the multiplier knife from lowering. If necessary, clear the knife of any pieces of wood that
may hamper the lifting/lowering.
