CAUTION! Always make sure the up/down switch moves to the
neutral or off position when released to ensure that the saw head
stops moving. Failure to do so may result in machine damage.
CAUTION! If the weight of the sawmill exceeds 3,000 lbs (1361
Kg) for any reason, an auxiliary braking system (such as electric
brakes) must be used. Failure to do so may result in severe
machine damage.
CAUTION! Move the hydraulic clamp and turner to provide max-
imum ground clearance before towing. Failure to do so may result
in damage to the sawmill.
CAUTION! Be sure to stop the blade when returning the car-
riage. 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.
CAUTION! The sawmill’s work-stand should be equipped
with a 4 kg or bigger dry powder extinguisher.
