5. Roll the log onto the sawmill bed.
NOTE: Use log loading equipment or a ramp to load the log onto the sawmill bed.
6. Position the log against the side supports.
TURNING A LOG
1. Use a cant hook to spin the log against the side supports until it is turned the way you want it for the first cut.
CLAMPING A LOG
1. Position the log clamps against the log, far
enough below your cuts.
2. Use the clamp handle to secure the log firmly
against the side supports.
NOTE: Make sure the side
supports are positioned low
enough for the blade to pass
over them. If they are not, back
the clamp off slightly and push
the side supports down until
they are positioned below the height of your last cut on a given side of the log.
4.4 Level a Log
Shim one end of the log (e.g. using an optional leveling wedge
130005) until the heart of the log measures the same distance
from the bed rails at each end of the log.
4.5 Lift Operation
1. Install a blade, if needed, and check for correct blade tension.
2. Use the crank handle to raise or lower the sawhead.
One full turn of the crank handle moves the sawhead 1/2” (12.21 mm). If you rotate the
crank handle by one tooth on the disc, the sawhead will be raised/lowered 1/32” (0.18 mm).
Do not force the sawhead above the 20” (50cm) mark or below the
1” (25.4mm) mark. Damage to the lift system may result.
4.6 Engine Operation
1. Clear any loose objects from the area of the blade, engine, and drive belt.
2. Ensure the clamps and side supports are positioned low enough for the blade to pass
over them.
3. Ensure the log is clamped securely.
4. Open the fuel supply valve and turn on the ignition by moving the ignition/fuel lever to
the “ON” position.
