6. Disengage the clamp.
The log can be turned now. Repeat steps 4 through 7 until the log is turned as desired.
Turning small cants
If you are turning a small cant, use the middle log clamp to turn the cant, instead of the log turner.
1. Lower the clamp up/down lever to lower the clamp below bed level.
2. Use the clamp in/out lever to move the clamp in, beneath the edge of the cant.
3. Raise the clamp up/down lever to raise the clamp and flip the cant.
To Use The Middle Clamp
1. Raise the clamp up/down lever to raise the clamp.
2. Use the clamp in/out lever to clamp the log against the side supports.
3. Lower the turner lever until the turner arm falls below the bed.
4. Using the clamp in/out lever, back the clamp off slightly.
5. Lower the side supports so that they are positioned below the level of your first few cuts.
6. 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 clamp until the log lies flat on the bed.
