9. Top Roller Clamp Handle
This valve lever clamps /
unclamps the Top Roller. The
Top Roller can hold a log down
and follow its contour as it is
cut, then move up out of the
way when starting the next log.
In the Clamped position, the roller maintains down force
on the log as the saw is raised and lowered with each cut.
The roller arm follows the contour of the log as it is moved
forward on the Infeed Conveyor.
In the Unclamped position, the Top Roller raises up fully out of
the way when the saw is raised (for example before starting
on a larger diameter log). When the saw is lowered the arm
lowers the roller down on the log.
• Pull the lever horizontal to clamp down on the log. Push
the lever up vertical to unclamp.
10. Tachometer / Hour Meter
This gauge displays engine rpm when

Use the hour meter as an indicator for
service intervals.
