Loading, Turning And Clamping Logs
To Load Logs
1.
Move the saw carriage to the front end of the frame.
CAUTION!
Before loading a log, be sure the cutting head is
moved far enough forward so the log does not hit it. Failure
to do so may result in machine damage.
2.
Adjust the log clamps all the way down and move them toward the loading side of the
sawmill frame.
NOTE (Rev. D6.00 Only):
The clamps can be lifted and removed from the
bracket assemblies to avoid damage to the clamp when loading a log.
CAUTION!
Be sure the log clamps are adjusted out of the
path of the log before loading a log onto the bed. Failure to
do so may result in machine damage.
3.
Raise the side supports on the sawmill bed to prevent the log from falling off the side of
the bed.
4.
Place the optional loading ramps in the frame brackets that will evenly support the length
of the log.
