Push the saw head up and down the track system to ensure that the width of the track allows for the saw head to move 
freely. If it binds, the “L” rails will need to be set further or closer together to achieve a consistent width along the entire 
track system. Once the desired width is achieved, all nuts and bolts can be tightened to the log bunks as shown in 
above right image using a 16mm socket. 

#5 – ENGINE

 

 

Refer to the engine manual before using your sawmill. Please note that the engine does not contain any gasoline or 
engine oil when it is shipped. Furthermore, the engine is equipped with an oil alert system, meaning that if the 
crankcase oil level is low or empty, the power is cut to the spark plug and it will not start. 

 

Always cut in the direction shown above. The log clamp should always be on the right side of the log and the log 
supports should always be on the left. Failure to cut in this direction can cause the log to come lose and possibly even 
cause damage or injury. 

*Now that your sawmill is assembled, please run through the “SAWMILL SET-UP PROCEDURES” in the 
following section. Failure to do so may result in poor sawing performance, damage or injury. See next page. *
