Sawing:
Below is a general outline meant only to familiarize new owners with Baker Products Setworks. An operator’s
own actual sawing techniques and methods may be different.

Sets:
Your Baker sawmill Setworks should come pre-programmed from the factory. At the operator control station,
pullout the red button labeled “all stop” two clicks. The red light should be illuminated and the computer
setworks display panel should be visible. If not, refer to Section 3 about programming, on the next page. After a
log is securely positioned on the mill, make sure that the desired board thickness is displayed on line two of the
LCD display. Once this is done, either choose to manually position the blade height and cut the first slab, or
position the blade height roughly one board thickness above the log and activate the
SET
switch. Once
SET
is
used, the
Ref
indicator should come on in the lower left hand side of the LCD display. If manual positioning is
used for the first cut, be sure to use the
OFFSET
function after the primary cut has been made. By using either
OFFSET
or
SET
, Ref is activated. No matter how high the blade is raised above the first
cut, the Setworks system
knows where to return. Be sure
Ref
is displayed before manually moving up. After
Ref
is activated, simply
continue to select
SET
each time to cut the desired number of boards off of each face. Next roll the log so that
the second face can be cut. Re-select either the same
SET
thickness or you may choose to select a different
thickness. It is important that the
Ref
icon disappears at this time so that it can reset to the new log height to be
worked with (for the second face). This can also be achieved by moving from high to low or low to high on the
SET range selector
. Simply repeat the above procedure to cut the desired amount of boards. Remember, you
have 8 pre-programmed SET thicknesses that you can choose to use at any time.
