5-4 LX55 9/17/20 Sawmill Operation
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.
5.5 Gas 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.
Cold engine: Close the engine choke by moving the choke lever to the ”ON” position. Dis-
engage the tensioner handle (by moving it away from you).
Warm engine: Disengage the tensioner handle (by moving it away from you). A warm
engine usually does not require choke on.
5. Pull the engine starter cord slowly until you feel resistance, then pull the cord quickly to start the
engine.
Cold engine: When the engine starts, slowly open the choke all the way by moving the
choke lever to the “OFF” position.
6. Engage the clutch handle by pulling it toward you as shown in Fig.5-4 .
