STORING
If the band sawmill is not in use, even when it is
for short periods of time, the band blade must be
removed from the machine and be stored where it is
inaccessible to children and other persons.
For longer periods of storage:
- empty the fuel tank and the water tank,
- remove the band blade from the machine,
- close the fuel valve,
- secure the saw carriage to the bed.
Store the band sawmill where it is inaccessible to
children and other persons, preferably in a locked
location.
After very work session, release the tension on
the blade to reduce wear.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Risk of serious injury.
Before performing any service and
maintenance on the machine: turn the ignition
key to the OFF position and close the fuel
valve.
WARNING!
Risk of burn injury. The engine and
its muffler get very hot during operation and
remain hot after the engine has stopped.
Allow the engine and the muffler to cool
before you perform any service or maintenance
on the machine.
MOVING THE BAND SAWMILL
WARNING!
Risk of crush injuries.
Keep people and pets outside the 5 m danger
area around the machine while lifting and
moving the machine parts. Secure the load
during transport.
The saw carriage and the rails/bed must not be
lifted or transported when assembled together,
but must be transported separately as two parts.
Lifting the saw carriage:
Disconnect the carriage’s
anti-tip wheels, one on each side, and lift the
carriage with the help of reliable lifting gear affixed
to the lift rings located at the top of the carriage.

Lifting the rails/bed:
Use a hand pallet truck
or a forklift truck and lift under the rails. Place a
protective layer of wood on the forks before lifting.
Ensure that the rails are well balanced and secure
the load to the lift forks before transport. Weight:

REFUELING
WARNING!
Risk of burn injury. Petrol is an
extremely flammable fluid.
Before refueling the engine of the machine,
wait until the engine has cooled. Turn the
ignition key to the OFF position and close the
fuel valve.
Refueling: Lower the sawhead to its lowest position
and have the saw carriage in its locked position at
one of the rail ends before refueling. Use a funnel
and try to avoid spilling.
If the sawmill is used outdoors it can be operated
without a chip extractor.
Make sure that you regularly remove sawdust
that has accumulated around the machine,
using a shovel e.g. If a chip extractor is
connected, you need a capacity of at least
800m
3
/h.
Exhaust hose: In case an exhaust hose is
connected to the sawmill, it must have a
spiral that can be grounded.
