Down buttons until the desired Increment Setting is obtained. Remember to include blade
kerf in your setting (i.e. If you want the finished boards to be 1" thick, set the increment to
1 1/8" to allow for typical blade kerf). The amount of kerf will depend on the thickness and
tooth set of the blade you are using. The system can be programmed with an automatic
kerf setting if desired.
When you change an increment value, it is automatically stored. See
below for more information on how to adjust the increment settings using the
Auto-Mode Settings Menu.
Push the Auto-Down button to return to Auto-Down Mode if necessary. Make the trim cut,
raise the saw head and return the carriage to the front of the log.
Push the up/down joystick forward and release. The saw head will automatically bypass
the setting where the first cut was made and stop at the next setting determined by the
increment you have chosen.
Make a cut, raise the saw head and return the carriage for the next cut. Push the up/down
joystick forward and release. The saw head will stop at the setting for the next cut. Repeat
this procedure down this face of the log as desired.
Turn the log as you normally would and push the Manual Mode button to place the control
system in Manual Mode.
Position the saw head for the trim cut and push the Auto-Down button to return to
Auto-Down Mode. Make the trim cut, raise the saw head and return for the next cut. Use
the same procedure as described above to cut each side of the log until done.
NOTE:
Anytime a trim cut is necessary, you can push the
Manual button to enter Manual Mode. Position the saw
head for the trim cut and push the Auto-Down button to
return to Auto-Down Mode. The control system will refer-
ence the new blade position and stop at the next setting
determined by the increment you have chosen.
Using Auto-Up Mode
Auto-Up Mode works exactly the same as Auto-Down explained above except it controls
the saw head movement in the up direction.
