Loading, Turning And Clamping Logs
TO LOAD LOGS
1.
Start the engine and move the saw carriage to the front end of the frame.
CAUTION!
Before loading a log, be sure the cutting head is moved far enough
forward so the log does not hit it. Failure to follow this may result in machine
damage.
2.
Adjust the log clamps all the way down and move them toward the loading side of the sawmill
frame.
NOTE:
The clamps can be lifted and removed from the bracket assemblies to
avoid damage to the clamp when loading a log.
CAUTION!
Be sure the log clamp is adjusted out of the path of the log before
loading a log onto the bed. Failure to follow this may result in machine dam-
age.
3.
Raise the side supports on the sawmill bed to prevent the log from falling off the side of the bed.
4.
Place the
optional
loading ramps
*
(part number 015804) in the frame brackets that will evenly
support the length of the log.
See Figure 5-1.
5.
Position the log at the foot of the ramps.
*.Also available as part of the LT15OP, Optional Package Kit for the LT15.
