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 43 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  43  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 groove is designed for logs up to 60 cm in length. Never cut or split logs that 
exceed the maximum length.

Operating conditions 

 

The temperature range within which the machine can be operated is -20 to +30°C. In the winter, 
the operator 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.
