1 General information
INTRODUCTION1.1
The purpose of this manual is to ensure that the machine is used in the manner intended by the manufacturer,
taking safety into consideration. Everyone operating the machine or working in close proximity to it must study
this manual carefully.
Operators of the machine are expected to have basic skills in tractor handling, such as utilising the cardan shaft
drive and the tractor's lifting equipment. Before commencing work, operators must also familiarise themselves
with the machine's control and safety equipment, and ensure their proper operation.
Additional information on Maaselän Kone Oy’s products is available on our website at www.hakkipilke.fi.
Keep this manual in the immediate vicinity of the machine.
PURPOSE OF USE1.2
The Hakki Pilke Raven 33 firewood processor is designed for preparing firewood from pruned wood or logs. The
firewood processor must not be used to process any treated wood, such as is found in construction waste. Sand,
nails or other impurities in the wood may damage the machine.
The maximum diameter of the logs to be processed is 33 cm. This limit must not be exceeded. When estimating
the diameter of the log you are about to cut, note that the shape of the log and other factors, such as branches
and burrs, make the actual diameter larger, and may prevent the log from being fed to the machine. The machine
is intended to be used mainly for logs less than 30 cm in diameter. However, logs with a diameter of up to 33 cm
can be split temporarily by lowering the splitting blade to the lower position. Do not split logs that exceed 50 cm
in length.

Persons under 18 years of age may not operate the machine.
The operator must ensure that the use of the device does not cause danger to others and that there are
no unauthorised persons in the danger zone.
The machine must not be operated while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, or when tired.
The machine must not be operated unless the operator has familiarised themselves with this instruction
manual.
The machine has been designed solely for making firewood.
The machine must be placed in the transport position whenever it is moved. When transporting the ma-
chine on a public road, it must be equipped with additional lights.
The operator is not permitted to modify the structure or operation of the machine or remove protective
equipment.
The operator must wear ear protectors, sufficiently tight-fitting work clothing and gloves, protective gog-
gles and safety footwear.
Before starting up the machine, the operator must ensure that the machine and its guards are intact.
When powering the machine with a tractor, the operator must ensure that the cardan shaft is undam-
aged and that the selected rpm range is correct. The machine must be attached to the tractor's lifting
equipment during operation.
Before starting up the firewood processor, the operator must ensure that all the control and safety devic-
es are functional.
When cleaning the machine or carrying out any maintenance, it must be disconnected from its power
source.
Note! Do not leave a running machine unsupervised!

Place the in-feed conveyor in the operating position as follows:
1. Ensure that sufficient room is available to lower the in-feed conveyor (approx. 2 m).
2. Remove the other end of the support leg holder C from the lug (Figure 2).
3. Release the lock by removing pin A and turning locking latch B out of its slot (Figure 3).
Note! At the same time, hold the end of the in-feed conveyor with your left hand!
Figure 4.
4. Lower the in-feed conveyor with your left hand while simultaneously using your right hand to guide support leg
D into slot E (Figure 4).
When placing the in-feed conveyor in the transport position, lift the conveyor to the upper position, turn
locking latch B into its slot and insert pin A (Figure 3). Use holder C to lock the support leg in place (Figure
2).
