Saftey Instructions
Risk of being crushed by the carriage.
Risk of tripping on the rails or the cross-bunks.
Never walk on the rails or the cross-bunks.
Never step across the rails.
Risk of being crushed between the sawmill and a
moving log.
Set up the equipment on level ground so that there is
at least 3m (10 feet) of level ground around the rails
and that there are no obstacles within that area.
Do not stand between the pile of logs and the
equipment.
Always stand at the side of the pile of logs when
handlings the logs. Never stand where you are at
risk of being hit by a rolling log.
Keep at least a 5lb. fully-charged ABC dry-chemical
fire extinguisher visible and easily accessible at the
worksite.
Keep a fully-stocked first-aid kit visible and easily
accessible at the worksite.
Never work alone. Make sure that there are other
adults within hearing distance should you need to
call for help.
Control Panel OFF Switch
The control panel is equipped with an OFF switch.
Test the OFF switch before each use once a day: Start
the electric motor ON and press the OFF switch. If it
does not shut the electric motor OFF, it is not working
therefore stop using the equipment and contact Norwood
immediately to order a replacement.
Site Operating Conditions
a. Altitude is not exceeding 1000m,
b. Maximum ambient air temperature is +40 °C,
minimum ambient air temperature is not less than 0
°C,
c. Storage and transportation temperature range is
-15 °C ~ 40 °C.
d. The relative humidity does not exceed 50% at a
maximum temperature of +40 °C, higher relative
humidity may be permitted at lower temperature (e.g.
90% @ 20 °C).
e. The machine can be stored or transported under
ambient temperatures between -25 °C and +55 °C.
Through poor conditions of the electrical MAINS, shortly
voltage drops can appear when starting the
EQUIPMENT.
This can influence other equipment (e.g. Blinking of a
lamp). If the MAINS-IMPEDANCE Zmax<0.252OHM,
such disturbances are not expected. (In case of need,
you may contact your local supply authority for further
information).
Before the machine is connected in TN-S power supply
system, the end user shall perform the test according to
clause 18.2 of EN 60204-1.
Operating the equipment
Cutting tools: Stand behind the carriage and keep
both your hands on the push handle while operating
the equipment. Never stand in front of the carriage
or blade. Never pull the carriage through the cut.
Sawhead drop danger: Pressing downward, even
slightly on the winch adjustment knob/spring, will
release the winch brake. Releasing the winch brake
will cause the sawhead to drop quickly and violently
causing serious injury.
Never open the blade and bandwheel guards while
the motor is running.
Before opening the blade and bandwheel guards,
turn the control panel to the OFF position and
disconnect (unplug) the power supply electrical cable
from your electrical outlet.
Coiled blades can spring apart with considerable
force and unpredictably in any direction. Handle
coiled blades, including those packaged in boxes,
with the utmost care.
The blade and bandwheel guards are shatter
resistant to temperatures as low as -28°C. Never
operate the equipment in temperatures at or below
-28°C.
Ensure that the equipment is assembled and
maintained in accordance with this manual, the
sawmill manual and the instructions enclosed with
optional accessories.
Never use the equipment to cut anything other than
wood.
Never add hardware or attachments of any kind to
the equipment other than those manufactured by
Norwood Industries Inc. specifically for the
equipment. Never modify the equipment.
