guide the log into the cutting section. Adjust the wood measuring device to the desired length and make
sure that the speed of the out-feed conveyor belt is suitable by adjusting it.
1.
Choose the log to process. Note that the maximum log diameter is 47 cm. The knottiness and
shape of the log can increase the diameter.
2.
Use joystick E to feed the log into the machine with the in-feed conveyor.
3.
When the log stops in the hydraulic measuring device for cutting, cut the log by pressing button D
(Figure 11) on the joystick. This will activate the saw chain and sawing cycle automatically.
4.
Return the saw bar to the upper position by releasing button D (Figure 11).
Note! Do not operate the feed during sawing or when the saw bar is not fully in the upper position.
4.3.1.
Hydraulic log press
The Hakki Pilke 50 Pro firewood processor is equipped with a hydraulic log press, which always
automatically
presses the log against the in-feed conveyor during the cutting motion. The log press is also
locked in this position until it is released with button B (Figure 11).
The operator must ensure that the log being fed into the machine does not collide with the log press due
to variations in log size, for example.
When feeding in a new log, always raise the log press to the upper
position with button B.
4.3.2.
Jamming of the cutting blade
If the cutting blade gets jammed in the log, stop sawing and try again on another section of the log. If the
cut is misaligned because the bar drags to one side, the sharpness of the saw chain and the bar must be
checked. A chain that is not evenly sharp will always drag towards the blunter side, which will make
cutting a thick log impossible. On the other hand, sawing with an evenly dull chain is inefficient, and the
saw chain must be sharpened or replaced (see Section 5.1.1).
4.3.3.
Sawing the last log
When sawing logs, the second to last piece should be sawn in such a way that the remaining piece is of a
sufficient length. This ensures that the log stays firmly under the hydraulic log press and that the sawing is
steady and safe.
