Setup & Operation
To change an Increment Setting, select the desired setting number and push the Up or
Down buttons until the desired Increment Setting is obtained. Pushing the Up and Down
buttons simultaneously will scroll the settings faster. Remember to include blade kerf in
your setting (i.e. If you want the finished boards to be 1" thick, set the increment to 1 1/8"
to allow for typical blade kerf). The amount of kerf will depend on the thickness and tooth
set of the blade you are using. The Accuset can be programmed with an automatic kerf
setting if desired (
).
When you change and increment value, it is only temporarily stored. If the control is
turned off, the settings will return to the factory defaults unless the new values are saved.
To save the new increment setting, push the Manual Mode then push the Up button. The
Configuration Menu will be displayed. Choose Save Settings to enter the Save Settings
menu, then push Save Now.
Example:
To store 1 1/2" increment to the #7 increment setting, push Increment Selec-
tion button #3 twice to display setting #7 (default value for setting #7 is 7"). Push the
Down button to adjust the setting to 1 1/2". While pushing the Down button, push the Up
button to scroll faster. When you get close to 1 1/2", release both buttons. Push the Down
button to fine tune the setting to exactly 1 1/2". Push the Manual Mode button. Push the
Up button to display the Configuration Menu. Choose Save Settings to enter the Save
Settings menu, then push Save Now. Increment setting #7 is now 1 1/2" until you change
the setting to something else.
Push the Auto-Down button to return to Auto-Down Mode if necessary. Make the trim cut,
raise the saw head and return the carriage to the front of the log.
Push the up/down drum switch down and release. The saw head will automatically
bypass the setting where the first cut was made and stop at the next setting determined
by the increment you have chosen.
Make a cut, raise the saw head and return the carriage for the next cut. Push the up/down
drum switch down and release. The saw head will stop at the setting for the next cut.
Repeat this procedure down this face of the log as desired.
Turn the log as you normally would and push the Manual Mode button to place the
Accuset in Manual Mode.
Position the saw head for the trim cut and push the Auto-Down button to return to
Auto-Down Mode. Make the trim cut, raise the saw head and return for the next cut. Use
the same procedure as described above to cut each side of the log until done.
NOTE:
Anytime a trim cut is necessary, you can push the
Manual button to enter Manual Mode. Position the saw
head for the trim cut and push the Auto-Down button to
return to Auto-Down Mode. Accuset will reference the new
blade position and stop at the next setting determined by
the increment you have chosen.
