SECTION 3: OPERATIONS
Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the machine controls/components discussed later
in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual, seek additional training from experienced
machine operators, and do additional research
outside of this manual by reading "how-to" books,
trade magazines, or websites.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
suitable for cutting.
2. Secures log to track with log supports and log
clamp and ensures supports and clamp are
positioned to be clear of the cut.
3. Fills blade lubricant reservoir with water.
4. Checks workspace around machine to ensure
sufficient operating room.
5. Checks blade tension and sets roller guide
width.
6. Adjust blade height to desired thickness.
7. Puts on safety glasses, hearing protection,
and respirator.
8. Starts engine.
9. Holds down throttle handle and allows blade
to reach maximum speed, then pushes car-
riage slowly until blade passes through entire
length of log.
10. Releases throttle handle and allows blade to
slow to a stop.
11. Removes sawn lumber from log and moves
lumber out of sawmill work area.
12. Pulls carriage back to start position.
13. Lowers blade for next cut or shuts down engine.
