Sawmill Setup
The sawmill board return system consists of arms on the saw head and a board return
table to catch the board as it is removed from the log. When the blade reaches the end of
the log, the arms will drop down to catch the board and drag it back toward the operator
as the saw head is returned.
See Figure 3-17.
Boards may not always return in the same path or location. If a board returns in a manner
that does not allow the off-bearer to maintain control, it may be necessary to stop the
reverse motion of the saw head.
CAUTION!
Lock the board return arms in the transport position when
towing the sawmill. Failure to follow this may result in equipment dam-
age.
