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 38 Pro 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 38 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 into the
machine. The splitting channel is designed for logs up to 60 cm in length, which should never be exceeded.

goggles and safety footwear.
The operator must ensure sufficient ventilation around the machine. If necessary, respiratory
protection must be worn.
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
undamaged 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
devices are functional.
When cleaning the machine or carrying out any maintenance, it must be disconnected from its power
source.

2. Receipt and assembly
2.1. Delivery inspection
Dispose of the machine’s packaging materials in an environmentally friendly manner.
Check that the machine has not sustained any damage during transport, and ensure that all necessary parts
are included in the package. In the event of any defects or damage, contact the retailer immediately.
2.2. Lifting and moving the machine
When moving the machine, make
sure that the moving and lifting
capacity of your tractor or forklift is
sufficient for the weight of the
machine. Only lift the machine by the
indicated lifting points or with the
lifting equipment of the tractor.
Figure 1. Lifting points of the machine

8 / 40
Hakki Pilke 38 Pro Translation Version 3
When connecting the machine to the tractor's lifting equipment, the tractor cabin must be free of people, in
order to prevent any accidental contact with the controls. Check all the connecting devices of the tractor and
the firewood processor before connecting them. Never use faulty equipment. The pins that are used to
connect the pushbars and drawbars to the machine must be of the correct size, and the appropriate locking
pins must be used to secure them.
The machine must be placed in the transport position if it is to be moved more than 5 metres. Exercise
extreme caution when moving the machine in the operating position. Always lower the machine to the
ground when you stop.
Note! Incorrect lifting may cause a hazardous situation or damage the machine.
2.3. Main components of the machine
The Hakki Pilke 38 Pro is a firewood processor with fully hydraulic controls. In other words, all of the
machine's functions are controlled hydraulically with operating levers on the machine's control panel. The
guard of the cutting and splitting section is interlocked with the machine's operation: opening the guard stops
all functions.

3. Control functions and setting up the machine
3.1. 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 rearranging the machine.
3.1.1. Placing the in-feed conveyor in the operating or transport position
Place the in-feed conveyor in the operating
position as follows:
1. Ensure that sufficient room is
available to lower the input
conveyor (approx. 2 m).
2. Release the lock by lifting handle
A upward with your left hand.
Note! At the same time, hold the
end of the input conveyor with
your right hand!
3. Lower the input conveyor down
with your right hand and, at the
same time, use your left hand to
guide support leg C into slots B, as
instructed in Figure 4.
When placing the input conveyor in the
transport position, lift the conveyor to the
upper position and ensure that locking
latch A locks the conveyor, i.e. that lock A
is inserted in the slot circled in Figure 3.
Figure 3.

3.1.2. 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.
3. Keep lock A open and
lower the out-feed
conveyor down with a
winch to its lowest
position.
Note! Leave sufficient
clearance (approx.
30 cm) for the
discharge opening of
the conveyor.
4. Turn the upper section of
the conveyor to the
operating position with
handle C at the upper
end.
5. Turn the out-feed
conveyor's support bar B
to the side.
6. Straighten splitting
groove guard E into the
operating position.
7. Use a winch to lift the
conveyor to the desired
angle (max 40°), and use
lock D on the bottom of
the conveyor to lock the
upper section of the
output conveyor in the
operating position.
