Sawmill Operation
Using Pattern Mode
Starting with a new log, position the saw head at the front end of the log.
Push the Pattern button under the display. Choose the desired pattern setting by pushing
the appropriate Increment Setting button.
In Pattern mode, a list of six increments is shown on the display. These increments are
referenced from the bed rail. The bottom increment represents the distance from the bed
rail for the last cut. Each increment in the list can be adjusted as desired. The top incre-
ment repeats as necessary depending on how high you raise the saw head.
See
below for more information on how to adjust the pattern
increment settings using the Auto-Mode Settings Menu.
Push the Manual Mode button and raise the saw head so the blade is positioned near the
top of the log. Push the Pattern button to return to Pattern Mode.
Push the up/down joystick forward and release. The saw head will automatically stop at
the first setting determined by the top pattern increment.
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.
NOTE:
The first push of the joystick
sets the head "on scale" to produce consistent increments from the bed rails up to the
current location. Therefore, the first drop after entering the Pattern Mode may not be the
thickness programmed.
Turn the log as you normally would and push the Manual Mode button to place the control
system in Manual Mode.
Raise the saw head so the blade is positioned near the top of the log and push the Pat-
tern button to return to Pattern Mode. Make the 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.
