blade over the slab. Once the blade is above the slab, release the joystick then pull it
back again and release. (The display should read “ABORT!!! ABORT!!!”.) This will abort
the control before it reaches the next programmed target, preventing it from replacing the
stored position of the blade during the last cut.
Pushing the right joystick away from you, return the saw head. The board will be dragged
off the log and thrown onto the incline conveyor (if the machine is equipped with this
sawmill option). Before you make the next cut, select the board thickness dimension.
Use the top-right joystick button to seach for the desired board thickness. If you do not
find the desired board thickness dimension, reprogram any of the stored board
thicknesses (
).
After selecting the board thickness for the next cut, push the left joystick momentarily
away from you (you do not need to hold the joystick until the head reaches the desired
position). The saw head will automatically lower for the next cut.
Make cuts as desired until you are ready to turn the log.
After making the desired number of cuts
on the first side of the log, move the saw
head to the end of the bed frame
*
. Then
press the HEAD/BED
button to place the
joystick controls in BED mode.
Using the
joysticks, turn the log and position it on
the bed rails (
). When
the log has been positioned on the bed
and is ready for the first cut, activate the
Head mode again with the HEAD/BED
button (the HEAD light will come on
again). Once you press this button,
REF1 and REF LOCK functions will turn on again (since they were active when HEAD
mode was switched to BED mode). To position “manually” the saw head for the first cut
on the second side of the log, you have to disable the REF LOCK function. To do
this, press the REF LOCK button. The REF LOCK button light will go out.
(The
REF1 function is still turned on; the REF1 button is still illuminating)
. Now, using the left
joystick, you can position the blade at the height where you want to make the first cut on
the second side of the log. Please remember to activate the REF LOCK function again
after positioning the blade for the first cut. This will store the current blade position in the
computer memory and the next cut will be calculated from this position, determined by the
selected board thickness dimension. To make cuts on the second side of the log, repeat
the steps used to cut the first side of the log, until you are ready to turn the log.
*The end of the bed frame is the frame’s part which is the furthest from the control box.
