If the Wood-Mizer Saw blade does not track right, readjust on the Drive Wheel if the cant adjustment is incorrect. Replace B-57 belts if the belts are flat or worn.
How to prevent Wood-Mizer Saw blades from dulling quickly?
To prevent blades from dulling quickly on your Wood-Mizer Saw, clean or debark logs, especially on the entry side of the cut. When grinding teeth, grind just enough metal to restore sharpness and use water/coolant while sharpening. Also, ensure proper sharpening techniques, making sure the tip is being sharpened completely.
Why do Wood-Mizer Saw blades break prematurely?
To avoid premature blade breakage on your Wood-Mizer Saw, replace worn rubber belts on blade wheels (B-57) if the blade contacts the metal pulley. Ensure proper sharpening techniques. Also, tension the blade to the recommended specifications.
What to do if Wood-Mizer Saw lumber is not square?
If your Wood-Mizer Saw lumber is not square, adjust the side supports so they are square to the bed. Adjust the bed rails to be parallel to the blade. Remove any sawdust or bark between the cant and bed rails. Resharpen and reset the blade to address tooth set problems.
Why fluid leaks from Wood-Mizer Saw cylinder piston ram?
If there are fluid leaks from around the cylinder piston ram on your Wood-Mizer Saw, replace the seals in the cylinder if they are worn. Check the piston ram for abrasive weld that may be causing premature seal failure.
Why Wood-mizer 1992 LT40HD Saw hydraulic side supports go down too early?
If the hydraulic side supports go down before or at the same time as the log turner on your Wood-Mizer Saw, remove the sequence valves and clean thoroughly with kerosene if there is dirt in the sequence valve. NOTE: Be sure to reassemble the valve and install it in its original position on the cylinder. Replace the sequence valve if the retainer in the sequence valve is worn. Allow fluid to warm up if the air temperature is low. Synthetic fluids are available that allow for hydraulic operation in cold weather conditions (Mobil SHC 526).

NOTE: Be sure to reassemble the valve and install it in its original position on the cylinder. Replace the sequence valve if the retainer in the sequence valve is worn. Allow fluid to warm up if the air temperature is low. Synthetic fluids are available that allow for hydraulic operation in cold weather conditions (Mobil SHC 526).
How to stop Wood-mizer 1992 LT40HD Saw sawdust buildup on track?
If you notice sawdust building up on the track of your Wood-Mizer Saw, do not oil the track. Adjust the wipers to firmly contact the track if they are worn. Clean the track with solvent and apply silicone spray if the track is sticky.
Why Wood-mizer 1992 LT40HD pump motor runs with no response from cylinders?
If the pump motor runs with little or no response from the cylinders on your Wood-Mizer Saw, test the battery and recharge or replace as necessary. Clean the pressure relief valve (Revisions C7 - E6 Only). Check the fluid level and add an all-season hydraulic fluid until the level is 4 - 4 1/2" from the bottom of the reservoir with all cylinders retracted. Adjust the pressure relief valve. Allow fluid to warm up if the air temperature is low.
Why Wood-mizer 1992 LT40HD Saw up/down or power feed motors do not work?
If the up/down or power feed motors on your Wood-Mizer Saw do not work, replace the switch or remove the control panel cover and clean the contacts if there are worn contacts in the drum switch. Replace the motor if it is burned out. Check for loose wire or terminal connections if there is a bad connection on the battery.
