Troubleshooting Chart
The trouble shooting section is divided up into
Hydraulic, Mechanical, Electrical
, and
Production
. None of these sections is meant to be all-inclusive, but is meant to be a guide
for the few common problems that might be experienced by customers in the field. If you do
have a problem that cannot be easily resolved in the field, please see the Before You Call
section for information about questions you will be asked about various problems.
For sawmills equipped with the computer setworks, please refer to the
“Computer
Setworks Owners Manual for Baker Band Sawmills”
for assistance.
NOTE: Baker Products strongly recommends that a qualified electrician perform all
electrical troubleshooting and repairs. Baker Products will not be held responsible
for injuries or damages caused by unqualified personnel attempting maintenance or
repair. The customer is responsible for compliance with all federal, state, and local
electrical codes.
Ensure machine power is off by removing the key from the engine’s ignition.
Whenever possible, follow Lockout / Tagout procedures prior to performing any
checks or maintenance.
Hydraulic Problems:
Do not perform any non-required adjustments on the hydraulic system. Doing so may cause
excessive and dangerous pressures on the hydraulic system that could result in personal
injury and/or equipment damage. Also, non-required adjustments to the hydraulic system
may void your warranty. Hydraulic problems are very rare with Baker Band Sawmills. Most
problems can usually be traced to changes in pressure or flow. If a hydraulic part does fail,
all valves are modular and are relatively easy to replace.

Head will not go up with
the manual valve, but will
travel down with the
manual valve.
1. Check the pressure at the operator station.
If there is no pressure at the operator station the main flow
may be block. Check to see if another function works
properly such as the fence arms, and toe rollers by moving
them and bottom them out and hold pressure to them check
the main pressure again. If the pressure is 1500 to 1800psi
then the main pressure is fine. If the pressure is low and the
other functions are slow the problem may be up stream in
the hydraulic system. Go to next step.
2. Check the hoses at the junction on the saw head for flex
when the valve is pulled for up motion.
If the hoses are flexing and the pressure is minimal then
there may be a problem in the mechanical part of the lifting
see mechanical problems of this manual. If the mechanical
is not the problem the flow to the motor may be diverting
though the solenoid valve body. Check to see if one of the
coils are activated by removing the big black knob on the top
