Electrical Problems:
Electrical problems are divided into 3 sections. The first will cover 12 volt DC systems on
the diesel powered models. The second section will cover AC/3 Phase powered models.
The final section will cover setworks systems (the setworks systems are virtually identical on
12VDC and AC/3 phase models).
Some basic electrical trouble shooting tools, such as a multi-meter (voltmeter and ohmmeter
combination) and a good combination screwdriver are required for some of the procedures
listed in this section. Basic knowledge in electricity is required.
The Electrical Trouble Shooting Section is provided to assist qualified electricians perform
field repair and maintenance to your sawmill.

The first rule of troubleshooting any electrical problem is, "Check the power supply". A great
majority of electrical problems can be traced to the power supply. Always ensuring all
incoming power is available before beginning any troubleshooting procedure can save
excess labor and down time. This includes making sure batteries are charged and capable
of supplying appropriate power. Always ensure all phases are available and that all are at
the correct voltage.
Sawmills that have unauthorized electrical modifications or sub-standard repairs are not
supported by this guide or by Baker Products.
