Loading Boards on Infeed
The saw is designed to cut boards stacked 2-high. This may be the top plate and bottom plate of the same wall
panel, or it may be from different wall panels, depending on the optimization choices.
Manually loading boards onto the infeed conveyor:
•
Handles boards dimensional lumber from 2x up to 12”, 3x up to 12”, and 4x up to 12” wide.
•
Load material onto the infeed conveyor on its wider surface (2x
4
, 2x
6
, etc.)
•
Load 2x lumber stacked 2-high on infeed conveyor. Can also cut 2x lumber as a single board.
•
Lumber thicker than 2x dimensional lumber can only be cut 1 board high.
Ensure the boards used:
•
Have no staples and no standing water on them
•
Are tight up against the pusher when placed on the infeed conveyor
Aligning the stacked boards:
•
If there is no Live Deck infeed conveyor, both boards must be loaded onto infeed rail tight against the
pusher.
•
If loading boards onto a Live Deck infeed conveyor, it is best to load with the top board extending over
the end of the bottom board, toward the pusher, approximately 1-1/2” to 2”. When the boards enter
the infeed rail, the pusher will self-align the two boards.
•
Normal use of the saw requires the two boards be the same length, although it is possible to cut using
boards of different lengths.
