Board Return
WARNING!
The automatic board return is intended to
assist a second operator in removing boards quickly. Do not
use the board return when operating the sawmill alone.
Serious injury, death or damage to the equipment may
result.
WARNING!
Never use the board return table as a platform
to stand on. This table is designed and intended to assist in
the removal of boards only. Standing on the table may
result in serious injury.
The sawmill is equipped with a board return system. This system consists of an arm on
the saw head controlled by a toggle switch on the control panel. A board return table is
also provided to catch the board as it is removed from the log. Use of the board return not
recommended with material shorter than 8 foot.
To activate the board return, turn the key switch to the accessory (#3) or start (#1) posi-
tion. Push the toggle switch on the control panel down. The board return arm located in
the middle of the saw head will drop into position.
See Figure 3-7.
When the blade reaches the end of the log, the arms will drop down to catch the board
and drag it back toward the operator as the saw head is returned.
DANGER!
Keep all persons out of the path of returning
boards. Failure to do so will result in serious injury.
