PROBLEM/SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSE SOLUTION
The blade quickly loses its sharpness • Dirty logs
• The blade is worn out
• Avoid dragging the logs over the ground.
• Debark the log where the blade is going to cut.
• Square the logs before cutting boards, to
minimize the cuts into bark.
• Replace the blade with a new one.
Wavy cuts • Dull blade
• The feed speed is too high
• The feed speed is too low
• Sawing through a partly frozen log
• Resharpen the blade.
• Lower the feed speed.
• Increase the feed speed.
• Let the log fully thaw or fully freeze before
sawing it. TIP: Do not use a slower sawing speed
when the blade is entering the log, but cut into
the log end with the same sawing speed you are
planning to have for the rest of the cut.
The blade dives or rises when sawing • Insufcient blade tension
• The feed speed is too high
• The blade is damaged
• The blade does not track correctly on the band
wheels
• Increase the blade tension.
• Lower the feed speed.
• Replace the blade with a new one.
• Install the blade correctly and adjust the
tracking.
Blade breakage • The blade is worn out
• Dull and/or incorrectly installed blade
• The blade tension is too tight
• The blade guide rollers are not aligned with the
band wheels
• Worn band wheel belts. This makes the blade
running directly on metal
• Replace the blade with a new one.
• Resharpen the blade.
• Reduce the blade tension.
• Adjust the blade guides.
• Replace the belts on the band wheels with new
ones
Uneven board thickness • The log bed exes due to insufcient support • Support the rails/log bed as outlined in the
instructions in this manual
The blade does not track correctly and slips off
the band wheels
• The band wheels are incorrectly adjusted
• Worn band wheel belts

motor, check that the motor is running in the
correct direction. If not: Reverse the phase of the
electric motor.
The blade does not slacken after releasing the
blade tension with the T-handle
• The blade tension assembly is sticking • Push the T-handle inwards.
The sawhead is stiff when raised or lowered • The vertical guides are too tight
• The sawhead lifting winch drum is dry
• Lubricate with silicone and, if necessary, loosen
them slightly.
• Lubricate with Supero.
The sawhead is rattling when going down • The rails are not level and cause the saw bogie to
twist
• Level the rails as outlined in the instructions in
this manual.
The blade overheats during operation • The water tank is empty
• The water valve is closed
• Rell with water.
• Open the water valve.
The engine does not start • The ignition key is in the ”OFF” position
• The emergency stop button is pushed in

disconnected
• Turn the ignition key to the ”ON” position.
• Reset the emergency stop.
• Check the working order of the interlock safety
