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 carefully study this manual.
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 Web site at
www.maaselankone.fi.
Keep this manual in the immediate vicinity of the machine.
1.2.Purpose of use
The Hakki Pilke 38 Easy log splitter is designed for preparing firewood from pruned wood or logs. The log
splitter 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 for logs to be split 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 to the machine. The
splitting groove is designed for logs up to 60 cm in length. Never cut or split logs that exceed the maximum
length.

The operator is not permitted to modify the structure or operation of the machine, or to remove
protective equipment.
Operators must wear ear protection, sufficiently tight-fitting work clothing, work gloves, protective
goggles and safety footwear.
Before starting up the splitter, the operator must ensure that the machine and its shields are intact.
When powering the machine with a tractor, the operator must ensure that the cardan shaft is
undamaged and that the rpm range is correct. The machine must be attached to the tractor's lifting
equipment during operation.
Before starting up the splitter, the operator must ensure that all the control and safety devices are
functional.
When cleaning or maintaining the machine, it must be disconnected from its power source.
1.6.Noise and vibration
A-weighted sound pressure level at the working location is 87.0 dB (A), and the sound power level
is 98.0 dB (A). The vibration values do not exceed 2.5 m/s2.

2. Receipt and assembly
2.1.Receipt inspection
Dispose of the machine’s packaging materials in an environmentally friendly manner.
Check that the splitter has not sustained any damage during transit, and ensure that all necessary parts are
included in the package. In case of any defects or damage, contact the retailer immediately.

8
Hakki Pilke 38 Easy Original Version 6
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 machine’s weight.
Only lift the splitter by the indicated
lifting points or with the lifting
equipment of the tractor.
Figure 1. Lifting points
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 connecting devices of the tractor and
the log splitter before connecting them. Never use faulty equipment. The pins that are used to connect the
pushbars and drawbars to the log splitter must be of the correct size, and the appropriate locking pins must
be used to secure them.
The splitter 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 Easy is a log splitter 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 to the machine's operation: opening the guard stops all functions.

2.4.Preparing the machine for operation
Note! The pushbar lugs may be installed either way depending on the size of the tractor.
3. Control functions and preparation
3.1.Arranging the machine for operation and transport
Before arranging the machine for transport, 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 according to Sections 4.3 and 5.8 before arranging it for transport.
3.1.1. Placing the input conveyor in the operating or transport position
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. 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 the support leg C into slots B,
as instructed in Figure 4.
When placing the input conveyor in the
transport position, lift the conveyor up
and ensure that the locking latch locks it in
place, as instructed in Figure 3.

3.1.2. Placing the output conveyor in the operating or transport position
Place the output conveyor in the operating position as follows:
1. Ensure that there is
sufficient room for
lowering the output
conveyor.
2. Turn off the machine.
3. Keep lock A open and
lower the output
conveyor down with a
winch to its lowest
position.
Note! Leave a 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 output
conveyor's support bar B
to the side.
6. Straighten the splitting
groove guard E into the
operating position.
7. Lift the conveyor to the
desired angle with the
winch, and use lock D on
the bottom of the
conveyor to lock the
upper section of the
output conveyor in the
operating position.
