Description
- Because of the high quality
and precision construction,
none of the angles need setting.
The only parts to adjust are the
guide rail and the height of the
log bed, in all three bolts.
- All aluminium components
are anodized and completely
rustproof, creating a wearing
surface as tough as tempered
steel. It has a low friction
coefcient and is easy to keep
free of pitch and chips.
- Adjustable legs make it easy to
compensate for uneven sites.
- The M7 has a double rachet
mechanism enabling a simple
shift by hand between 1/4”
(6.25 mm) and 1/8” (3.12 mm)
increments.
- Clear scales show the height of
the log bed. Extra measuring rods
are available as accessories to
show sawing height settings.
- The knee joint on the front
leg has a non-slip surface that
facilitates log handling. The joint
also has a mounting hole for
ramps, log tables and the like.
- The cross beam between
the short legs is a signicant
stabilization factor.
– the crank axle runs through
maintenance-free bronze bea-
rings that will stand up to any
amount of wear. The slide rails
use low-friction plastic that has
a working life of several years
thanks to the superbly smooth
surface anodization.
- The settings for sawing parallel
to the grain of conical logs are
quick and simple. (The log beds
can be set at different heights so
that more than half of the cuts
give acceptable yield.)
- Most accessories for M5 and
M6 t on the M7 as well.
Maintenance
The Logosol Sawmill should
be kept clean, and all plastic
parts should be lubricated with
Logosol’s Low Friction Agent
or some silicone lubrication.
Regularly check the condition
of the lifting lines.
Tempered parts: The ratchet
cam, the ratchet cam axle and
the ratchet bar are only fairly
protected against rust, and
should be kept lubricated with a
thin layer of oil to prevent them
from rusting.

Tools needed
(Tools are not supplied with
delivery of the M7 sawmill.)
Ring or exible head spanner s:
Quantity

Assembly will be facilitated with a
battery-driven drill or screwdriver
with a 10 mm hexagon socket
and a ratchet key with 10 and 13
mm hexagon sockets.
Assembly
The M7 is designed for simple
assembly and adjustment,
mainly because there are fewer
parts and assembly steps than
were needed in earlier models.
Most of the aluminium parts are
anodized making it easier to
force the bolts through the prole
holes. Assemble the M7 on a
surface that will not scratch the
surface treatment.
Save time by reading the entire
assembly instruction before
beginning to work. Then
follow the instructions step
by step.
Whenever this symbol appears,
tighten bolt loosely to allow
some movement.
When there is no symbol,
tighten the bolts well.
Partially assembled
M7 unit
The Logosol M7 portable sawmill
is also sold partially assembled
where only the guide rail and the
struts remain to be tted.
The partially assembled M7 unit
will still need the same siting and
adjustments as are described in
this manual (pg 21 +).
