1.1 Blade Handling
DANGER! Always disengage the blade and shut off the sawmill
engine before changing the blade. Failure to do so will result in
serious injury.
WARNING! Always wear gloves and eye protection when han-
dling bandsaw blades. Changing blades is safest when done by
one person! Keep all other persons away from area when coiling,
carrying or changing a blade. Failure to do so may result in seri-
ous injury.
WARNING! Do not spin the blade wheels by hand. Spinning the
blade wheels by hand may result in serious injury.
1.2 Sawmill Setup
WARNING! Chock the trailer wheels to prevent movement
before unhitching it from the towing vehicle. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Failure to put front outrigger down before moving
cutting head from the rest position may result in serious injury.
WARNING! Securely fasten the feet of a stationary sawmill to
the floor before operating the sawmill. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Always make sure the trailer is supporting the saw-
mill frame when operating a sawmill with adjustable outriggers.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death. The adjust-
able outriggers are intended to support the saw frame with assis-
tance from the trailer.
WARNING! Do not set up the mill on ground with more than a
10 degree incline. If setup on an incline is necessary, put blocks
under one side of the mill or dig out areas for outrigger legs to
keep mill level. Setting up the mill on an incline could cause it to
tip over, resulting in serious personal injury.
CAUTION! Changes in temperature could cause increased
pressure in the blade tensioner and loss of fluid from the gauge.
Release the blade tension when the mill is not in use to avoid
damage to the tensioner.
