Sawmill Operation
To change an Increment Setting, select the desired setting number and press the Up or
Down buttons until the desired Increment Setting is obtained. Pressing the Up and Down
buttons simultaneously will scroll the settings faster. Remember to include blade kerf in
your setting (i.e. If you want the finished boards to be 1" thick, set the increment to 1 1/8"
to allow for typical blade kerf). The amount of kerf will depend on the thickness and tooth
set of the blade you are using. The Accuset can be programmed with an automatic kerf
setting if desired (
).
When you change and increment value, it is only temporarily stored. If the control is
turned off, the settings will return to the factory defaults unless the new values are saved.
To save the new increment setting, press the Manual Mode then press the Up button. The
Configuration Menu will be displayed. Choose Save to enter the Save Settings menu,
then press Save.
Example:
To store 1 1/2" increment to the #7 increment setting, press
Increment Selection button #3 twice to display setting #7 (default value
for setting #7 is 7"). Press the Down button to adjust the setting to 1
1/2". While pressing the Down button, press the Up button to scroll
faster. When you get close to 1 1/2", release both buttons. Press the
Down button to fine tune the setting to exactly 1 1/2". Press the Manual
Mode button. Press the Up button to display the Configuration Menu.
Choose Save to enter the Save Settings menu, then press Save.
Increment setting #7 is now 1 1/2" until you change the setting to
something else.
Press the Auto-Down button to return to Auto-Down Mode if necessary. Make the trim cut,
raise the saw head and return the carriage to the front of the log.
Press the up/down drum switch down and release. The saw head will automatically
bypass the setting where the first cut was made and stop at the next setting determined
by the increment you have chosen.
Make a cut, raise the saw head and return the carriage for the next cut. Press the
up/down drum switch down 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.
Turn the log as you normally would and press the Manual Mode button to place the
Accuset in Manual Mode.
Position the saw head for the trim cut and press the Auto-Down button to return to
Auto-Down Mode. Make the trim 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.
NOTE:
Anytime a trim cut is necessary, you can press the Manual but-
ton to enter Manual Mode. Position the saw head for the trim cut and
press the Auto-Down button to return to Auto-Down Mode. Accuset will
