Operation
Using the procedure described above,
make cuts on the third side of the log as
desired.
When the log is ready for making cuts on
its fourth side, activate HEAD mode
again (the yellow HEAD light as well as
the lights of REF1 and REF LOCK
buttons will come on) and then press the
REF2 button. (Pushing the REF2 button
will disable the REF LOCK function.)
Using the right joystick, position the
blade for the first cut on the fourth side of
the log. Then push the REF LOCK
button and again the REF2 button
(the REF2 button light will start flashing).
Once you press these buttons, the current blade height (at which the first cut will be
made) is stored in the computer memory. The computer remembers also the height of the
last cut made on the previous (third) side of the log (this information is stored under the
REF1
button). This allows automatic positioning of the blade for the first cut when the log
is turned again (for the fourth time). The operator will not have to “manually” (i.e. in
Manual mode) set the blade at the first cutting height.
Make cuts on the fourth side of the log until you reach the desired cant. Use the same
procedure as for cutting on the previous sides (except that, REF2 should be used instead
of REF1).
After the log has been squared, turn the cant and position it on the sawmill bed. Then
activate HEAD mode (the yellow HEAD light will come on) and push the REF1 button
twice (the button will start flashing). The REF LOCK function will turn on automatically
(the REF LOCK button will illuminate). The display will show (in the fourth line) the blade
height at which the last cut on the third side of the log was made, i.e. the last cutting
height in REF1.
When you use the left joystick appropriately, the saw head will
automatically position for the next desired cut referenced from the last cut made in REF1
(
NEXT CUT function
). If you push the left joystick forward and hold it in this position,
the saw head will be lowering until the joystick is released. If you release the left joystick
when the blade is below the desired cutting height, the saw head will automatically raise
until this height is reached.
