To activate the board return, turn the key switch to the accessory (#3) or start (#1) posi-
tion. Push the toggle switch on the control panel down. The board return arm located in
the middle of the saw head will drop into position.
See Figure 3-8.
When the blade reaches the end of the log, the arm will drop down to catch the board and
drag it back toward the operator as the saw head is returned.
DANGER!
Keep all persons out of the path of returning
boards. Failure to do so will result in serious injury.
Boards may not always return in the same path or location. If a board returns in a manner
that does not allow the sawyer or off-bearer to maintain control, it may be necessary to
stop the reverse motion of the saw head.
When the board return is to be used, a second person is required to remove the board as
it is returned. DO NOT attempt to use the board return feature when sawing alone.
To bypass the board return feature, push the toggle switch on the control panel up.
When done sawing, return the board return table to its storage position and secure with
both locking pins. Adjust the outrigger leg up to provide proper ground clearance when
towing the sawmill.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the board return table,
secure it in its storage location before towing the sawmill.
