Using Pattern Mode
Starting with a new log, position the saw head at the front end of the log.
Push the Pattern button under the display. Pattern Setting #1 is the factory default.
Choose the desired pattern setting (1 - 16) by pushing the appropriate Increment Setting
button.
In Pattern mode, a list of six increments is shown on the display. These increments are
referenced from the bed rail. The bottom increment represents the distance from the bed
rail for the last cut. Each increment in the list can be adjusted as desired. The top incre-
ment repeats as necessary depending on how high you raise the saw head.
As you raise or lower the saw head, symbols in the pattern increment list indicate where
the blade is located in reference to the pattern. When the blade is above the top setting a
^ symbol appears next to the top increment to indicate you are in the repeating top incre-
ment. After you lower the blade and reach the last top increment, a + symbol will appear
to indicate you are close to the next setting. When the blade reaches the increment set-
ting, a - symbol will appear next to that setting.
To change any of the six pattern increments, push the +/- Drop button (below the pattern
increment list) to scroll to the desired increment. The increment that is active is high-
lighted. As you scroll to each increment, the previous increment setting will automatically
be copied to the remaining increments below. Push the Up or Down buttons until the
desired increment is obtained. Remember to include blade kerf in your setting (i.e. If you
want the finished boards to be 1" thick, set the increment to 1 1/8" to allow for typical
blade kerf). The amount of kerf will depend on the thickness and tooth set of the blade
you are using. The Accuset can be programmed with an automatic kerf setting if desired
(
Push the +/- Drop button to move to the next pattern increment and adjust as desired.
After the bottom increment setting is adjusted as desired, push the Manual Mode button
then push the Up button. The Configuration Menu will be displayed. Choose Save to
enter the Save Settings menu, then select Save.
Example:
To edit the pattern increment settings for the #4 pattern setting, push Increment
Selection button #4 once to display pattern setting #4 (the factory default value for pattern
setting #4 is 1 3/4"). Push the +/- Drop button to enter pattern edit mode. The top pattern
increment is now highlighted. Push the Down button to adjust the setting to 1 1/8". While
pushing the Down button, push the Up button to scroll faster. When you get close to 1
1/8", release both buttons. Push the Down button to fine tune the setting to exactly 1 1/8".
Push the +/- Drop button again to move the next pattern increment. The setting will auto-
matically be copied from the previous setting to 1 1/8” for all the remaining increments
below. Exit pattern edit mode by pushing the Manual button. Save the new pattern setting
by pushing the Up arrow button to enter Configuration Menu #1. Press the Save button to
