Jamming wood on the splitting blade
If a piece of wood gets jammed in the splitting blade in a situation where the splitting force is insufficient
to push the piece past the blade, do the following:
1.
Return the splitting beam to the initial position by turning the operating lever C to the far right
position.
2.
Lift the splitting blade to the highest possible position with the operating lever H (in Figure 19).
In the Easy model, use the control lever A (in Figure 20).
3.
Cut a sufficiently thick piece of wood (approx. 20–25 cm) into the splitting groove, and activate
the splitting process with the pedal G (in Figure 19). The new piece will then push the jammed
piece past the blade.
4.
Lower the blade by approx. 10 cm and repeat step 3. Repeat step 4 until the jammed wood has
passed the blade piece by piece.
5.8
Re-splitting or splitting without cutting
1.
Turn the operating lever C to the STOP position and lift the splitting groove guard to the raised
position.
2.
Place the log you want to split in the splitting groove.
3.
Close the guard of the cutting and splitting section, and turn the operating lever C to the splitting
position.
4.
Start the splitting process with the pedal (pedal G in Figure 19).
As necessary, the above procedure can be used to split wood without cutting it.

Adjusting the length of the splitting motion
In the Hakki Pilke 1X37 log splitter, the length of the splitting motion can be freely adjusted. Even though
the splitting adjustments are optimised in conjunction with the final testing, the adjustments can change
as a result of numerous splitting motions. Therefore, the adjustments should be regularly checked to
ensure that the motion of the splitting cylinder is not excessively long.
