GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Great care must be taken in the operation of this machine as well as its connection to
a power source, such as a tractor, so that neither the person connecting it nor other
persons nearby are subjected to injury.
In order to avoid accidents, the machine must not be operated by persons who are
tired, intoxicated or under the influence of drugs or not sufficiently capable of
controlling their actions.
The connection of the machine to the power source must be carried out by only one
person at any one time.
The risk zone around the machine is 10 metres. Except for the operator, no other
person is allowed within this area during connection and operation.
If persons other than the operator remain within the risk zone, the operator must make
them aware of the dangers related to the operation of the machine.
The work site and its surroundings must be prepared prior to operating the machine to
ensure safe working conditions. The area must be sufficiently lit for operation. If the
light is scarce, the machine must not be used without sufficient and appropriate
additional lighting.
The Hakki Pilke Firewood Processor is designed for making firewood of lopped trees
and other lopped and pre-processed wood, such as pre-cut logs. Do not process wood
material that has been processed in any other way, such as construction waste. The
manufacturer of the machine is not responsible for any damages or injuries that
processing such wood may cause to the machine or operator.
The work capacity of the machine, i.e. the maximum wood diameter of 25 cm and the
maximum wood length of 55 cm, must not be exceeded.
The machine must not be operated, if the operator is not:
- familiar with these instructions;
- familiar with risk situations that may occur during the operation of the machine;
- able to act, should a dangerous situation occur during operation.
If the machine is faulty or contains a broken part that the operator is not able to repair
or replace, the operator must contact the seller, manufacturer or importer of the
machine.
The operator must always check all components before connecting the machine
to the tractor or operating it. Under no circumstances should the machine be
used if even a small amount of wear and tear is detected in its structure or
components! The faulty parts must be repaired or replaced with new ones!
