4.2 Set-Up
IMPORTANT! Before starting to use the sawmill, you have to meet the
following conditions:
Clear the area. Inspect the sawing site for debris or uneven surfaces that may become a trip
hazard. Ensure that eye, ear, and respiration protection are readily available. Ensure that
the operator is wearing foot protection and proper work clothing.
Check the engine oil level (see the engine manual).
Ensure the fuel and water levels are sufficient.
The sawmill must not be operated indoors without a sawdust extraction system connected
and started.
AC sawmills must not be used outdoors when it is raining or snowing. In such a case, they
must be used and stored under roof or indoors.
Gas sawmills must not be used indoors. Such sawmills can be operated outdoors without a
sawdust extraction system, but the operator should be positioned downwind. It will prevent
the operator from being exposed to sawdust and engine exhaust gases.
The sawmill can be operated in the temperature range of -15
o
C to 40
o
C.
The sawmill can be lifted with suitable lifting equipment only.
The intensity of light at the operator’s work-place must be at least 300lx.
Have a qualified electrician install the power supply (according to EN 60204 Standard).
The power supply must meet the specifications given in section ’’Specifications”.
IMPORTANT! When starting the machine for the first time, check that
the main motor rotation direction is as indicated by the arrow located
on the motor body. If the rotation direction is incorrect, invert the
phases in the phase inverter in the power socket.
WARNING! If the blade or drive belt breaks, wait until all moving
sawmill components stop completely. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury or death.
The M120 sawmills are only partially aligned at the factory. Some assemblies need to be aligned by the user
before first usage of the sawmill.
Factory-aligned assemblies:
Engine r.p.m. (DC sawmills only)
Blade wheels (vertical and horizontal adjustments)
