Using Pattern Mode
Starting with a new log, position the saw head at the front end of the log.
Push the Pattern button under the display. Pattern Setting #1 is the factory default.
Choose the desired pattern setting (1 - 16) by pushing the appropriate Increment Setting
button.
In Pattern mode, a list of six increments is shown on the display. These increments are
referenced from the bed rail. The bottom increment represents the distance from the bed
rail for the last cut. Each increment in the list can be adjusted as desired. The top incre-
ment repeats as necessary depending on how high you raise the saw head.
As you raise or lower the saw head, symbols in the pattern increment list indicate where
the blade is located in reference to the pattern. When the blade is above the top setting a
^ symbol appears next to the top increment to indicate you are in the repeating top incre-
ment. After you lower the blade and reach the last top increment, a + symbol will appear
to indicate you are close to the next setting. When the blade reaches the increment set-
ting, a - symbol will appear next to that setting.
To change any of the six pattern increments, push the +/- Drop button (below the pattern
increment list) to scroll to the desired increment. The increment that is active is indicated
with a [ symbol.
Accuset software rev. 4.05 and later only:
As you scroll to each incre-
ment, the previous increment setting will automatically be copied to the remaining incre-
ments below. (
Accuset software rev. 3.03 - 3.05 only:
As you scroll to each increment,
the previous increment setting will automatically be copied to the active increment.) Push
the Up or Down buttons until the desired increment is obtained. Remember to include
blade kerf in your setting (i.e. If you want the finished boards to be 1" thick, set the incre-
ment to 1 1/8" to allow for typical blade kerf). The amount of kerf will depend on the thick-
ness and tooth set of the blade you are using. The Accuset can be programmed with an
automatic kerf setting if desired (
).
Push the +/- Drop button to move to the next pattern increment and adjust as desired.
After the bottom increment setting is adjusted as desired push the +/- Drop button to exit
pattern edit mode ([ symbol will no longer be displayed).
To store the new pattern increment settings, push the Manual Mode button then push the
Up button. The Configuration Menu will be displayed. Choose Save Settings to enter the
Save Settings menu, then select Save Now.
Example:
To edit the pattern increment settings for the #4 pattern setting, push Increment
Selection button #4 once to display pattern setting #4 (
Accuset software rev. 4.05 and
later only:
the factory default value for pattern setting #4 is 1 3/4"). (
Accuset software
rev. 3.03 - 3.05 only:
the factory default value for pattern setting #4 is 2"). Push the +/-
Drop button to enter pattern edit mode. The top pattern increment is now indicated with a
