Rotate the log 90° so that one of the freshly sawn
sides rests flat against the log supports, and then
clamp the log in position. Now you can make the
third cut and then produce boards. Here, you may
need to compensate for taper in the log. Lower the
log support gradually and cut up the log with the
bark facing down.

When you have rotated the log the last time to
cut the last boards, you have to calculate where you
should take the cut to make the last cut agree with
the calculation. Check this by lowering the blade
until it rests against the log. Now you can read the
absolute scale to see the amount of wood left under
the blade. Set the sawhead to the desired height.
TIP:
The easiest way is to wait to rotate the log until
there only remains material for one 2’’ board. If you
do so, there is no need for calculation.
HANDLING SAWN TIMBER
When cutting the cant into boards, you can either
immediately lift the boards off the cant, or you can
leave them there while cutting more boards before
handling the timber.
When you are going to lift boards from the rails,
ensure that the saw carriage is in its locked position
at one of the rail ends. Then, move the sawn timber
to a timber stack. Place spacers between the layers
of boards to facilitate drying.
Rotate the log 90° so that one of the freshly sawn
sides rests flat against the log supports, and then
clamp the log in position.
