SECTION 6 MAINTENANCE
Turn off the motor/engine and wait until all parts have stopped moving
before removing any cover or guard. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury or death.
6.1 Wear Life
This chart lists estimated life expectancy of common replacement parts if proper maintenance
and operation procedures are followed. Actual part life may vary significantly.
6.2 Blade Guides
1. Check the rollers for performance and wear every blade change.
2. Replace any rollers which are not clean, not spinning freely, or have worn smooth or misshaped.
6.3 Sawdust removal
Clean sawdust after every shift from all guards, vents,
housings, or any area where sawdust may gather. Failure to
do so may result in fire, causing death or serious injury.
1. Inspect the sawdust chute for damage.
NOTICE The steel fingers prevent objects from becoming a projec-
tile and exiting the sawdust chute. Ensure that they can serve their pur-
pose.
2. Remove sawdust buildup from lift pulleys as necessary.
6.4 General Maintenance
Every 8 Hours of Sawmill Operation (Daily)
Check the engine oil level. (See the Engine Manual.)
Clean the track rollers, mast carriages and track wipers.
After you have finished using the sawmill, lower the sawhead all the way down so that the
sawhead rests on the stop bolts and the lift cables remain tensioned.
Inspect the sawmill parts for damage.
