DANGER! Always be sure the blade is disengaged and all persons are
out of the path of the blade before starting the engine or motor. Failure
to do so will result in serious injury.
DANGER! Keep all persons out of the path of returning boards. Failure
to do so will result in serious injury.
WARNING! Always wear eye, ear, respiration, and foot protection
when operating the sawmill. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury.
WARNING! Be sure the power feed switch is in the neutral position
before turning the key switch to the (#1) or (#2) position. This prevents
accidental carriage movement which may cause serious injury or
death.
WARNING! Secure all loose clothing and jewelry before operating the
sawmill. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Always make sure log is clamped securely before sawing.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Use ONLY water with the water lube accessory. Never use
flammable fuels or liquids. If these types of liquids are necessary to
clean the blade, remove it and clean with a rag. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION! Be sure the pivot rails, turning arm, clamp, and toe boards
are below bed level before loading a log onto the bed. Failure to do so
may result in machine damage or cause misalignment.
CAUTION! Before loading a log, be sure the cutting head is moved far
enough forward so the log does not hit it. Failure to do so may result in
machine damage.
CAUTION! Do not try to force the saw head beyond its upper and
lower travel limits. Damage to the up/down system may result.
CAUTION! Always make sure the up/down switch moves to the neutral
or off position when released to ensure that the saw head stops mov-
ing. Failure to do so may result in machine damage.
CAUTION! Be sure to stop the blade when returning the carriage. This
will not only prevent the blade from being pulled off and ruined by a
wood sliver, but also will increase the life of the blade.
DANGER! Any arbitrary repairs of the electric installation could result
in serious injury or death.
DANGER! Any damaged electric parts, especially the wires supplying
