Blade Drive Operation
DANGER!
Make sure all guards and covers are in place and
secured/closed before operating the sawmill. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury.
Be sure the blade housing cover is closed
and secured before starting the engine or motor. Use the rubber
latches to fasten the blade housing cover shut. If the blade housing cover is not closed and secured, the
safety switch located on it interrupts the ignition circuit and the motor/engine cannot be started. If the cover
is open during the mill operation, the engine/motor will be stopped.
Electric Motors Only
1.
Clear any loose objects from the area of the blade, motor, and drive belt.
2.
Make sure the clamps and side supports are positioned low enough for the blade to pass over them.
Make sure the log is clamped securely.
3.
Start the motor as instructed in the motor manual.
See Figure 3-12.
To engage the blade, perform the following steps:
- Turn the main switch on the electrical box to the ON position.
- Press AND HOLD the green safety button on the control box.
NOTE:
Keep the safety button pressed all the time the blade is driven. If the safety button is released,
the motor stops and it needs to be restarted.
