OPERATING THE BAND SAWMILL
WARNING!
Cutting tools: Always stand
behind the saw carriage and keep both your
hands on the handles while operating the
machine. Never stand in front of the carriage
or band blade. Never pull the carriage through
the cut.
WARNING!
Risk of crush injury. Rotating
parts: Even a slight force applied to the release
mechanism of the sawhead can cause the
sawhead to drop uncontrollably and make the
crank rotate rapidly, which can cause serious
injury.
WARNING!
Never modify this machine in
such a way that it no longer corresponds
with the original design. Do not use it if it has
been modified. Never use other attachments/
accessories than those recommended in this
user manual.
WARNING!
A broken band blade can be
ejected out of the sawdust chute at high
velocity.
During operation, make sure that nobody is
on the side of the band sawmill where the
sawdust chute is located. The risk of a blade
breaking increases if it is not correctly installed
or maintained.
The band blades and plastic parts of the
sawmill are cold-resistant down to -25°C.
Do not operate the band sawmill in colder
temperatures than -25°C.
Ensure that the machine is correctly assembled
and maintained in accordance with the
instructions in this user manual.
Never work alone. Make sure that there are
other adults within hearing distance, should
you need to call for help.
WARNING!
Danger of flying fragments from
dirty logs.
Always inspect the logs so that there are no
objects wedged in the bark before sawing.
Never stand between the pile of logs and the
band sawmill. Always stand at the side of the
pile of logs when handling the logs. Never
stand where you are at risk of being hit by a
rolling log.
Danger area of the machine:
Minimum safety distance around the sawmill
is shown in
Illustration 1
. Note that the safety
distance on the left side of the band sawmill is
15 m due to the the risk of blade pieces being
ejected out of the sawdust chute if a blade
breaks. On the other sides of the sawmill the
safety distande is 5 m. [

WARNING!
Keep hands, limbs and other body
parts well away from the band blade, cables
and other moving parts.
WARNING!
Risk of being crushed by the saw
carriage.
Always use the parking lock when working
with the saw carriage.
WARNING!
Risk of tripping over the rails and
cross bunks.
Never take a short cut across the rails. Hang
electric cables up and out of the way so that
they do not get damaged or become a tripping
hazard.
WARNING!
Never operate the petrol powered
engine in enclosed areas. Ensure that there is
good ventilation. The exhaust gases contain
harmful substances that can pose a danger to
life and health.
WARNING!
Risk of being crushed between the
sawmill and a moving log.
The log stack must always be secured with
reliable straps around the logs (see the chapter
Operation Instructions
).
Never walk on the rails or the cross bunks.
