Sawdust Removal

WARNING! 

Before performing service near moving parts

such as blades, pulleys, motors, belts and chains, first turn
the key switch to the OFF (#0) position and remove the key.
If the key is turned on and moving parts activated, serious
injury may result.

Remove the excess sawdust from the blade wheel housings and sawdust chute every
blade change.

WARNING! 

Always keep clear of exiting sawdust. Keep

hands, feet and any other objects away from the sawdust
chute when operating sawmill. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury.

WARNING! 

Always check to ensure the steel fingers inside

the sawdust chute are in place before operating the saw-
mill. The steel fingers have been designed to help prevent a
broken blade or some other object from becoming a projec-
tile and exiting the sawdust chute. Failure to have these fin-
gers in place may result in serious injury.

Remove sawdust buildup from rope feed pulleys and up/down chain sprockets as neces-
sary.
