SECTION 3 SAWMILL OPERATION
3.1 Safety Instructions
DANGER! Make sure that the motor/engine is off before performing any
maintenance. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
DANGER! Keep all persons out of the path of moving equipment and logs when
operating the sawmill or loading and turning logs. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Secure all loose clothing and jewelry before operating the sawmill.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Always wear eye, ear, respiration and foot protection as well as
safety clothing when operating or servicing the machine. Failure to do so
may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Always keep a safe distance from the sawdust chute when
operating the sawmill. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Assemble the sawmill bed on firm, level ground. Failure to do so
may cause the saw head to tip, resulting in serious injury or death. If you
have the stationary sawmill, fasten it to the floor.
WARNING! If the blade or drive belt breaks, wait until all moving parts stop
completely. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
CAUTION! Release the blade tension when the mill is not in use (for example at
the end of a shift). Tension the blade again before starting the motor/engine.
3.2 Sawmill Setup
IMPORTANT! Before starting to use the sawmill you have to meet the
following conditions:
Clear the area. Inspect the sawing site for debris or uneven surfaces that may become a trip
hazard. Ensure that eye, ear, and respiration protection are readily available. Ensure that
the operator is wearing foot protection and proper work clothing.
Check the engine oil level. (See the Engine Manual.)
The sawmill must not be operated indoors without a sawdust collection system connected
and started.
