NOTE:
If your sawmill is equipped with the Remote Option, see the option manual for clutch/brake
operation.
1.
Clear any loose objects from the area of the blade, motor, and drive belt.
2.
Make sure the clamp and side supports are adjusted below the level of your first few cuts.
3.
Start the engine or motor as instructed in the engine manual.
DANGER!
Make sure all guards and covers are in place and secured
before operating or towing the sawmill. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury. Be sure the blade housing and pulley covers are in
place and secure. Use the safety retainer pin and cable to fasten blade
housing covers.
Be sure the blade housing and pulley covers are in place and secure before starting the engine or

See Figure 2-27.
The clutch/brake lever is located next to the engine.

To engage the blade, pull the lever down until it locks in the down position. This engages the drive
mechanism, releases the blade brake, and increases the engine speed to full throttle.
To disengage the blade, raise the clutch/brake lever to the up position. This disengages the drive
belt, engages the blade brake, and returns the engine to idle.
