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 manufac-
turer, 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.maaselankone.fi.
Keep this manual in the immediate vicinity of the machine.
1.2 PURPOSE OF USE
The Hakki Pilke Raven 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 construc-
tion waste, for example. Sand, nails or other impurities in the wood may damage the machine.
The maximum diameter of the logs to be processed is 30 cm. This limit must not be exceeded. When esti-
mating 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. Do not split logs that exceed 50 cm in length.

tive goggles and safety footwear.
Before starting up the machine, the operator must ensure that the machine and its guards are in-
tact.
When powering the machine with a tractor, the operator must ensure that the cardan shaft is un-
damaged and that the 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.
Note! Do not leave a running machine unsupervised!

HAKKI PILKE RAVEN TRANSLATION VERSION 1-2015
Place the input conveyor in the operating position as follows:
1. Ensure that sufficient room is available to lower the input 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 input conveyor with your left hand!
Figure 4.
4. Lower the input conveyor with your left hand while simultaneously using your right hand to guide support leg D
into slot E (Figure 4).
When placing the input 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).
