5.18 Remote Cable Chain & Support Tray
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.
As you operate the sawmill, be aware of any pieces of debris that may fall on the cable
chain and/or support tray. Stop the sawmill and immediately remove any pieces of wood,
bark or anything else that may divert the path of the chain or cause it to jam.
Clean the cable chain and support track of sawdust buildup every eight hours of opera-
tion. Blow or brush the sawdust from the track and tray and remove any accumulated
sawdust that is high enough to contact the chain/tray.
If a component of the cable chain breaks or is missing, replace the component.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the remote sawmill if the cable
chain is damaged or components of the chain are missing.
The chain components are interlocking and continued oper-
ation will cause more damage to the chain.
See Figure 5-17.
To disassemble the chain use a screwdriver to pry the connecting links
apart. After removing the connecting links, the side plates can be disassembled by pulling
them apart at an angle.
During each sawmill setup, check the alignment of the cable chain and the support tray:
