Using the Timbermaster.
Before you use the Timbermaster, remove all the grease with WD40 or a similar
solvent. Re lubricate with a Teflon based lubricant. We recommend Teflon based
lubricants, as they tend to dry, and have fewer tendencies to attract saw dust and
dirt.
Outer ratchet handle
Inner ratchet handle
Thread engage / disengage lever
The log clamps are adjustable vertically to suite the diameter of the log being cut.
This is achieved by loosening the two ratchet handles and raising or lowering the
assembly. Take care to support the assembly while loosening the ratchet handles,
or the assembly will drop. The log clamp should be adjusted close to centre of the
diameter of the log being cut.
Quick action thread engaged
Quick action thread disengaged
The log clamp thread engage / disengage lever allows the clamp to be adjusted
quickly. To engage / disengage, loosen the inner ratchet handle and rotate the
thread engage / disengage lever. Always tighten the ratchet handle once adjustment
has been completed. If the thread engage / disengage lever is pushed too tight the
thread may be hard to move.
