Sawmill Maintenance
WARNING!
Always secure the cutting head with a chain or a brace before
adjusting the up/down chain. The cutting head may fall, causing severe injury
or death.
WARNING!
Always secure the cutting head with a chain or a brace before
removing the up/down motor belt. The cutting head may fall, causing severe
injury or death.
WARNING!
Drum switch grease contains Petroleum Hydrocarbon Lubricant.
Eye and skin irritant. If introduced into eyes, flush with water for at least 15
minutes. If film or irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash skin with
soap and water. If ingested, do not induce vomiting - contact a physician.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
CAUTION!
Reinstall the track wiper so that it lightly touches the track rail. If
the wiper presses too firmly against the rail, it can cause the power feed to
bind.
CAUTION!
Never use grease on the mast rails as it will collect sawdust.
CAUTION!
Do not use chain lube. It causes sawdust buildup in chain links.
CAUTION!
Do not over-tension the up/down chain. Over-tensioning may lead
to early failure of the gear reducer.
CAUTION!
Do not overtighten the feed chain. Damage to the power feed
motor may result.
CAUTION!
Do not overtighten the contact set screws on the hydraulic valve
assembly.
Overtightening may cause the threads in the screw hole to strip
.
CAUTION!
It is important that the lower stop bolts are properly adjusted to
secure the carriage on the track rail. Failure to properly adjust the stop bolts
can cause saw head damage, especially during mill transportation.
CAUTION!
Pressure should not exceed 2000 psi. If it does, the amp draw will
rise above the design maximum of 200 amps, and could cause battery and
system problems. Pressure above 2000 p.s.i. may also damage the hydraulic
hoses.
CAUTION!
Failure to remove sawdust buildup from the battery box lid and/or
track rail cover could result in damage to these parts when the saw head is
lowered to its lowest position.
