Adjusting the wood length with the optical measuring device
The Hakki Pilke BigX 50 splitter is
equipped
with
an
optical
wood
measuring
device.
The
device
automatically stops the input conveyor
when a piece of wood has been fed to
the desired length. The sensor of the
optical measuring device can be freely
adjusted to a position that is 20–60 cm
from the cutting flange.
Adjust the log guide to the same
measurement as the measuring device.
The log guide should be at a distance of
approx. 5 cm from the log during cutting.
Note! The error margin for the optical
measuring device is +/- 0.75 cm.

Using the output conveyor
The output conveyor can be controlled with the controls E and H in Figure 9. Use the control E to select the
direction and elevation of the conveyor. The control H can be used to freely adjust the running speed of the
conveyor. The speed can be decreased until the conveyor stops. Always stop the conveyor when placing it in
the operating or transport position.
3.2.5.
Adjusting the splitting blade
The splitting blade can be controlled hydraulically by moving the control lever C in Figure 9 up or down. Logs
should always be as centred as possible when passing the blade in order to keep the size of the firewood
consistent.
When wood is stuck on the blade, the blade can be lowered in increments of approx. 1–2 cm. The blade can
be driven to the lowest position by raising the blade and clearing the space under the blade. The machine
must be shut down and disconnected from its power source for the duration of the cleaning.
3.2.6.
Using the dust collector
The standard equipment of the splitter includes a hydraulic dust collector. It allows you to collect sawdust for
any purposes you may wish to use it. The dust collector activates automatically when the machine starts up.
