HANDLING SAW BLADES
WARNING! Cutting tools: Incorrect handling of
bandsaw blades may result in potentially fatal
injuries. Saw blades are extremely sharp.
WARNING! Risk of sustaining cuts.
When handling saw blades:
• always wear protective leather gloves
(class 1)
• always wear close-fitting protective
eyewear or a visor
• wear protective footwear with
saw protection, steel toe-caps and
non-slip soles
• always wear full-length protective trousers
• keep persons and animals at a safe
distance, at least 5 m
REPLACING BANDSAW BLADES
It is important to replace the saw blades regularly
for maximum cutting performance. Fifteen to thirty
logs can normally be sawn before replacing the
blade, but this is very much dependent on how
contaminated the bark is. Using blunt saw blades
will result in crooked or incomplete kerfs, reduced
saw blade service life and greater risk of saw blade
breakage. Always wear protective leather gloves
when handling saw blades.
To remove the saw blade:
1. Release the blade tension by turning the T-handle
counter-clockwise.
2. Open the covers over the band wheels.
3. Remove the saw blade from the band wheels.
Fitting a new saw blade:
1. Position the saw blade under the blade guides
first and then round the band wheels. Make sure
that the saw teeth point towards you
2. Rotate the bandsaw blade by hand in the
kerf direction and check that the tracking of the
bandsaw blade has not changed. See Setting the
longitudinal blade position on page 34.
3. Replace the band wheel guards.
4. Close the hatch.
LUBRICATION POINTS
It is important to lubricate the components of the
sawmill as described below in order to ensure your
sawmill remains in good condition for many years,
and to ensure problem-free ownership. Lubrication
must be carried out:
• Immediately after assembly and before
starting to use the sawmill.
• Every 50 hours of operation, but at least
once a year.
The lubricants to be used on the sawmill are:
• Superflo SKU: 9999-000-5115
• Universal
lubricating oil SKU: 9999-000-5105
• Silicone SKU: 9999-000-5110
• Grease ISO-L-XCCIB2
Rail pipe sections
Lubricant: Universal lubricating oil
Insert the nozzle of the spray can into all openings
and spray the inside of the pipe sections to protect
against corrosion.
Top sections of the rail on which the saw
carriage travels
Lubricant: Universal lubricating oil
Blade tensioning T-handle
Lubricant: grease or Superflo
Unscrew the T-bar and apply copious amounts
of lubricant to the threaded rod.
Saw head lifting chains and chain transmission
Lubricant: Superflo
Lubricate the whole chain.
Lifting winch shaft
Lubricant: Superflo
Grease both sides from the outside.
The petrol engine’s throttle cable and handle
Lubricant: Superflo
Lubricate the joints of the handle and spray oil
into the cable from the ends. If the cable is hard
to move, remove the cable from its housing,
lubricate it along its entire length and spray oil
into the cable housing.
Saw carriage main post
Lubricant: Silicone
Lubricate the sliding surfaces of the saw head
and the plastic guides.
