Sawdust Removal
WARNING!
Before performing service near moving parts
such as blades, pulleys, motors, belts and chains, first turn
the key switch to the OFF (#0) position and remove the key.
If the key is turned on and moving parts activated, serious
injury may result.
Remove the excess sawdust from the blade wheel housings and sawdust chute every
blade change.
WARNING!
Always keep clear of exiting sawdust. Keep
hands, feet and any other objects away from the sawdust
chute when operating sawmill. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury.
WARNING!
Always check to ensure the steel fingers inside
the sawdust chute are in place before operating the saw-
mill. The steel fingers have been designed to help prevent a
broken blade or some other object from becoming a projec-
tile and exiting the sawdust chute. Failure to have these fin-
gers in place may result in serious injury.
Remove sawdust buildup as necessary from the battery box lid and top rail cover.
CAUTION!
Failure to remove sawdust buildup from the bat-
tery box lid and/or track rail cover could result in damage to
these parts when the saw head is lowered to its lowest
position.
As required, remove sawdust buildup from the power feed belt housing. Turn the control
panel key switch to OFF (0) and remove the key. Disassemble the power feed belt cover
and remove sawdust buildup in and around the power feed belt and pulleys. Replace the
power feed belt cover.
If your sawmill is equipped with the Setworks option, periodically clean the up/down chain
by brushing any sawdust buildup from the chain links. Sawdust buildup in the up/down
chain can affect the accuracy of the Setworks encoder.
