WORK AREA • Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause accidents. • Do not use your sawmill where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes. • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area. • Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical hazards in your work...

PERSONAL SAFETY • Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. • Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety...

Inspect the sawmill for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use. • Maintain your sawmill. It is recommended that the general condition of the sawmill be examined before it is used. Keep your sawmill in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair and...

WARNING: to avoid death or serious injury. Do not cut lumber with foreign objects in it such as nails, any metal pieces, etc. Place the lumber to be cut on the supports. The operator and any assistants must stay clear of the front and back of the blade whenever the engine is on. Move the saw head slowly along the track and against the lumber to make the cut. Trim off the rounded sides of the log. When the log is squared-off, boards or posts can be cut to custom specifications. To prevent accidents, turn off the engine and disconnect its spark plug wire after use. Wait for the engine to cool,...

11. Blade Lubricant — Never use diesel fuel or kerosene as blade lubricant. These substances lead to premature wear of your belts and poor sawing performance. For winter operations, replace the water lubricant with windshield washer fluid. 12. Engine — Check the engine oil level before each use and maintain the engine as per the instructions set out by the engine manufacturer in the engine manual. The engine is equipped with an oil alert system and will not start without adding oil before starting. 13. Sawhead Lifting Cables — Regularly before, during and after operations, inspect the cables...

SAWMILL ASSEMBLY #1 – INSPECTION Take all of the parts out of the shipping crate and lay them out. Check for any damage or missing parts. #2 – TRACKS Assemble track system and secure loosely with provided nuts & bolts. It is important not to fully tighten the bolts at this stage. This will be done after the head is assembled and rolled along the track. It is ideal to assemble the tracks on a solid and level footing that is a minimum of 4” off of the ground. This will allow for easy cleanup of sawdust from under the tracks and height adjustment of the log supports.

Attach track cross supports to “L” channel with the provided nuts & bolts. The joining plate is used at the seam joint to join the two sections together (shown in top right image). Ensure to only hand tighten at this stage. The bolts will be fully tightened once the head assembly is free to roll on the tracks and provide the correct track width. Assemble carriage stops at the ends of the tracks (4 stops total) and tighten bolts.

#3 – LOG DOG & SUPPORTS Assemble log dog pieces as shown below and use grease on threaded handle and “T” handle. Attach assembly to the track using the provided nuts & bolts and tighten.

Clamp should be tilted forward towards log. Attach log dog assembly to track as shown above with the 4 nuts and bolts provided. Note that there are various locations along the track where this assembly can be bolted. Depending on how many track sections are being used, select a log clamp position that will secure the log firmly against the log supports. Insert log supports into track cross supports and secure with “T” handles as shown in above left picture. The “T” handle threads should be coated with grease. The sawmill includes two sets of log supports – a short set and a long set. The longer...
