OWNER'S RECORD Please take a moment to record the following information about your portable sawmill. If you need to call for assistance, please be ready to provide your model and serial numbers. This information...

INTENDED USE This sawmill is designed for sawing logs while the mill is firmly supported on the ground. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. WARNING! The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions or situations that could occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator. WARNING!...

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 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...

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.

TOOL USE AND CARE • Always be sure operator is familiar with proper safety precautions and operation techniques before using machine. • Never touch the engine or muffler while the engine is on or immediately after it has been turned off. These areas get hot and may cause burns. • Always close fuel valve on engines when machine is not being operated. • Do not force the tool. Tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which they are designed. • Never use the sawmill with a malfunctioning switch or throttle. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and...

MAINTENANCE Proper and routine maintenance is critical to operator safety, achieving good milling results and to prolonging the life of your investment. 1. Bandwheel Bearings — Inspect before use to ensure they are not worn. Bearings are sealed and do not need to be greased. 2. Blade Guide Bearings — Inspect before use for excessive grooves or scoring in the bearing case. Replace if necessary. 3. Blade Tension — Grease threads of tensioning “T” handle when dry or as required. Use multi-purpose, extreme-pressure grease. 4. Log Clamps — Spray cam mechanism with dry silicone spray frequently. 5....

SAWMILL ASSEMBLY #1 – UNPACKING Unpack the contents of the crate except for the sawmill head and the two long boxes in the bottom that contain the two sections of track. Unbolt the front of the crate and lay 6” high support blocks in front of the crate. Bend the front of the crate down. Carefully lay the sawmill head and the cardboard down onto the 6” support blocks. Slide the sawmill head out of the crate as shown below. ! The two long track boxes may now be removed from the crate and the crate be placed out of the way.

#2 – TRACKS Assemble the track system with the provided nuts & bolts. It is important to assemble and level the track on a firm foundation before tightening all of the nuts and bolts. 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. ! The width of the track should be assembled so that it is 30.5” (775mm) wide when measuring the width from the outside to outside of the “L” rails.
