Workpiece
Inspection
Some workpieces are not safe to cut or may
require modification before they are safe to cut.
Before cutting, inspect all workpieces for the
following:
•
Material Type: This machine is intended for
cutting natural wood logs only. The maximum
diameter of log that can be sawn is 28". This
machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass,
stone, tile, etc.; cutting these materials with a
sawmill may lead to injury and machine/blade
damage.
•
Debarking: Bark can trap and hide foreign
objects, such as tramp metal or hidden
nails, and can cause excessive blade wear.
Consider debarking your logs for increased
safety and longer blade life.
•
Branches and Uneven Logs: Use a chain-
saw or other saw to remove any branches
that prevent the log from lying evenly against
the track and log supports. Similarly, uneven
burls protruding from the log may need to be
removed before the log can be sawn.
Changing Blade
Blade changes entail removing the existing blade,
installing the new blade, then properly adjusting
the blade tension, tracking, and guides.
Disconnect spark plug wire
before performing adjust-
ments or maintenance to
reduce risk of accidental
start-up injury.
Saw blades are sharp and
may cause lacerations. To
reduce the risk of injury,
wear leather gloves when
handling saw blades.
Removing Blade
1. DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE!
2. Release blade tension by turning blade tension
handle counterclockwise until handle slackens.
3. Open blade cover and support it on blade
cover latch (see
Figure 22).
4. Slide blade off top of wheels, then remove
blade from bottom of wheels.
