to move the saw head forward. Turn the switch down to move the saw head backward.
NOTE:
Always disengage the blade before returning the saw head and raise the saw head slightly
to make sure the blade clears the log.
Feed Rate
HINT:
To get a straight cut in the first part of the log, feed the blade into the log at a slow speed.
This stops the blade from flexing and dipping up or down. Turn the saw head feed rate switch to a
slow speed until the whole width of the blade has entered the cut. Then use the saw head feed rate
switch to increase the feed rate as desired. Maximum feed rate varies with width and hardness of
the wood. Over-feeding results in motor and blade wear, and also produces a wavy cut.
1.
Stop the saw head at the end of the cut by turning the saw head feed rate switch counterclockwise
until the saw head stops moving.
2.
Using the STOP button, disengage the blade. This will stop the blade. Remove the board from the
log.
3.11 Cutting The Log
The following steps guide you through normal operation of the Wood-Mizer sawmill.
1.
Once the log is placed where you want it and clamped firmly, position the blade close to the end of the log.
2.
Use the blade height scale to determine where to make your first cut (
See Section 3.13
). The blade height
scale will help you to do this. Set the blade to the desired height with the up/down buttons. Make sure that
the blade will clear all side supports and clamps. Adjust the outer blade guide to clear the widest section of
the log by moving the blade guide arm
handle. (
See Section 3.8
. )
3.
Make sure all covers and guards are in place and secured. Start the engine.
4.
Start the water lube if necessary to prevent sap buildup on the blade.
See Section 3.14 .
5.
Feed the blade into the log slowly.
( See Section 3.10 .)
Once the blade completely enters the log, increase
the feed rate as desired. Always try to cut at the fastest speed you can while keeping an accurate cut.
Cutting too slowly will waste blade life and lower production!
6.
As you get to the end of the log, slow down the feed rate. When the teeth exit the end of the log, release the
safety button on the control box. Remove the slab that you have just cut from the log.
7.
Use the feed crank to return the cutting head to the front of the mill. Always disengage the blade before
returning the cutting head for the next cut.
8.
Repeat until the first side of the log is cut as desired. Set aside the usable flitches (boards with bark on one
or both sides). You can edge them on the mill later.
9.
Remove the leveling wedge if it was used. Release the clamps and turn the log 90 or 180 degrees. Make
sure the flat on the log is placed flat against side supports if turned 90 degrees. Make sure it is placed on bed
rails if turned 180 degrees. If the log was turned 90 degrees and you are using the wedge to compensate for
taper in the log, use the wedge again to adjust the heart of the log parallel with the bed.
