1. General information
1.1. Introduction
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.
1.2. Purpose of use
The Hakki Pilke Falcon firewood processor is designed for the preparation of 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 split is 35 cm. This limit must not be exceeded. When estimating the
diameter of the log you are about to split, 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. Do not spit logs
that exceed 50 cm in length.

1.4. Operating conditions
The temperature range within which the machine can be operated is -20 to +30°C. In the winter, the op-
erator must ensure that there is no risk of slipping in the working area.
The working area must be level and clear of unnecessary items. No unauthorised persons are allowed to
enter the working area. The machine may only be used in sufficient lighting conditions. These require-
ments must be met for the entire duration of the work.
The machine may not be used indoors.
1.5. Safety instructions
This device is intended to be operated by only one operator. The danger zone is 10 m from the machine.
Persons under 18 years of age may not operate the machine.
The operator must ensure that 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. Ensure efficient ventilation and wear a respirator if necessary.
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!

2.3. Arranging the machine for operation and transport
Before arranging the machine for operation and using it, ensure that the operating conditions, detailed in Section
1.4, are met and review the safety instructions in Section 1.5.
Note! Inspect and clean the machine before setting it up for transport!
Placing the in-feed conveyor in the operating or transportation position
Place the in-feed conveyor in the oper-
ating position as follows:
Ensure that sufficient room is available
to lower the in-feed conveyor (approx.
2 m).
Remove the other end of support leg
holder C from the lug (Figure 2).
Figure 2
Release the lock (Figure 3) by removing
pin A and turning (Figure 2) locking
latch B out of its slot.
Note! At the same time, hold the end of
the in-feed conveyor with your left
hand!
Lower the in-feed conveyor with your
left hand while simultaneously using
your right hand to guide support leg D

B (Figure 3) into its slot and insert pin A
(Figure 2). Use holder C to lock the sup-
port leg in place (Figure 2).

Placing the out-feed conveyor in the operating or transport position
Place the out-feed conveyor in the operating position as follows:
1. Ensure that there is sufficient
room for opening the out-feed
conveyor.
2. Turn off the machine and discon-
nect it from the power source.
3. Keep lock A (Figure 4a) open and
