4.20 Blade Drive Operation
DANGER! Make sure all guards and covers are in place and
secured/closed before operating the sawmill. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury.
Be sure the blade housing cover is closed and secured before starting the engine or motor. Use the
rubber latches to fasten the blade housing cover shut. If the blade housing cover is not closed and
secured, the safety switch located on it makes starting the motor/engine impossible. If you open the
cover during sawmill operation, the blade engine/motor will be stopped.
For Sawmills with Electric Motors
1. Clear any loose objects from the area of the blade, motor, and drive belt.
2. Make sure the clamp and side supports are positioned low enough for the blade to pass over them.
Make sure the log is clamped securely.
3. Start the motor. To do this, turn the main switch to the ”I” position. Then manually engage the safety
handle and start the feed by pressing the green button on the electric box.
See Figure 4-21.
CAUTION! If at any time you need to immediately stop the blade
motor, press the emergency stop button located on the electric box.
