SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE
Shut down the sawmill and allow all moving parts to come to a
complete stop before removing any guards and covers. Failure to
do so may result in serious injury or death.
5.1 Continuous maintenance
Rails, rollers, and sweepers
Proper maintenance of the sawmill carriage rollers and rails is critical for smooth
operation of the sawmill.
Prevent corrosion that causes pitting and scaling on the rail
surfaces which results in rough cuts or jerky feed movement.
Keep track rails free of rust. Formation of rust on the track rail can
cause rapid deterioration of the track rail's surface.
Lubricate the rails by wiping them with white lithium grease. Lubrication will help protect
the rails from corrosive elements such as rain and/or moisture from nearby bodies of salt
-
water (if applicable). This lubrication is essential to maintaining the integrity of the rails
and rollers and to achieve long service life.
