5. If the log is distinctly tapered from one end to the other, you have to compensate for this to get the best

You always want the cut to run parallel to the centre line of the log. Place a shim between the log bed cross
bunk and the narrow end of the log.
A shim placed under the narrow end of the log.
6. Secure the log with the log clamps. Adjust the height of the log clamps. Ensure that they will not come into
contact with the blade when you are sawing.
Log clamps. Use of two log clamps is recommended.
7. Note! The crank is not applicable for all machine types.
Set the height of the sawhead for the rst cut by turning the crank that adjusts depth of cut. You raise the
sawhead by turning the crank clockwise, while turning the crank counterclockwise will lower the sawhead.
8. Check that the blade will not come into contact with the log supports and log clamps.
9. Set the adjustable blade guard taking into account the widest part of the log.
10. Open the valve for blade cooling to provide a small trickle onto the blade guide roller/band blade.
11. Before each cut, perform all safety checks described in the chapter Safety Instructions under the section
Before each cut.
12. Note! The handle and throttle is not applicable for all machine types.
Stand behind the push handle of the saw carriage and start the engine. Give gas by squeezing the throttle
