WARNING! Risk of serious injury:
Turn the ignition switch to OFF and close
the fuel valve before servicing or performing
maintenance on the machine.
WARNING! Cuts:
Coiled bandsaw blades may unexpectedly burst
open with considerable force. Handle coiled
bandsaw blades with great care.
WARNING! Fire risk:
Do not smoke or carry out any work (welding,
grinding, etc.) on the band sawmill that could
cause sparks that may potentially cause ignition
in the vicinity of fuel or combustible materials.
Immediately clear up any fuel spilt on the
machine while refuelling it. Change your
clothes immediately if you get fuel on them.
Never run the engine if there is a fuel or
oil leak. Always turn the engine off before
refuelling.
Turn the log through 90° so that one of the freshly
sawn sides rests against the log supports, then
clamp the log in position. Now you can make the
third kerf and obtain finished boards. It may be
necessary to compensate for the taper of the log in
this situation. Lower the saw supports as you go and
saw up the block with the bark facing down.
19. When the log has been turned for the last time
in order to saw the last few boards, it is necessary
to work out where to start so that everything lines
up at the end. It is possible to check this by lowering
the saw blade so that it rests against the log. It is
then possible to use the absolute gauge to read off
how much timber is left under the saw blade. Set
the saw head to the preferred height.
TIP: The easiest way to go about it is to hold off on
turning the block until there is only enough material
left for a 2”. Counting is then unnecessary.
HANDLING OF SAWN TIMBER
When sawing boards from the block, you can either
lift them off the block straight away or leave them
where they are and saw a number of planks before
handling the timber.
When then lifting the planks off the rail, take care
to ensure that the saw head is locked to one of the
ends of the rail. Then move the sawn timber to a
stacking area. Place straw between the layers of
planks to facilitate drying.
Turn the log through 90° so that one of the freshly
sawn sides rests against the log supports, then clamp
the log in position.

MAINTENANCE
The periodic maintenance on the machine that
is expected to be performed by the operator is
described in this section. Be sure to follow the
specified maintenance intervals, as this is the basis
for good function of the sawmill.
