To Clamp Logs
1. Raise the clamp in/out lever and clamp the log against the side supports.
2. Lower the turner lever until the turner arm falls below the bed.
3. When the turner arm is lowered all the way, the side supports will begin to lower. Back the clamp off
slightly, and let the side supports come down until they are positioned below the level of your first few
cuts.
4. Using the clamp in/out lever, clamp the log firmly.
Depending on the length of the log being sawn, you can use either the middle log clamp together
with the front clamp and the rear one (when the log length is minimum 3.5 m), or the middle
clamp together with the front clamp or the rear clamp (log length below 3.5 m). As the front and
rear clamps ensure that the log lies flat on the sawmill bed, they are essential to cut long logs with
internal tension accurately.
1. Use the up/down lever of the front/rear clamp to raise the clamp up.
2. Push the in/out lever of the front/rear clamp to move the clamp jaws in.
3. Perform the procedure decribed above to clamp the log against the side supports.
4. Push the up/down lever of the front/rear clamp to lower the clam p u n t i l t h e l o g l i e s f l a t o n t h e b e d .
To Level A Tapered Log
Use the toe board lever(s) to raise either end of a tapered log, if desired.
Raise the appropriate lever to raise the front or rear toe board until the heart of the log measures the
same distance from the bed rails at each end of the log.
