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.
