3.9 Loading, Turning, And Clamping Logs
CAUTION! Make sure the clamps and the toe boards are below bed
level before loading a log onto the bed. Also, be sure the cutting head
is moved far enough forward so the log does not hit it.
To Load Logs:
1. Raise the side supports.
2. Place the log at the foot of the loading ramps. Using a cant hook, roll the log onto the sawmill
bed.
NOTE: Logs also may be loaded onto the mill with a forklift or other equipment specifically designed
for that purpose.
To Turn Logs:
1. Disengage the clamp.
2. Use the cant hook to rotate the log on the sawmill bed.
3. Clamp the log.
To Clamp Logs:
1. Position the clamp against the log.
2. Move the clamp down far enough so that it is below your first few cuts. Using the clamp lever, clamp
the log against the side supports.
