Operation
NOTE!
If you change the board thickness dimension while using PAT1, PAT2 or BED REF button
(e.g. from 35 mm to 25 mm), it may be nessesary to make a corrective cut. This means
that the first board cut after changing this dimension will be of a different thickness
(10 mm in this example). The next boards will be of the desired thickness (25 mm).
BED REF
The BED REF function works similarly to the PAT1 and PAT2 functions. The only
difference is that all boards cut in BED REF are of the same thickness whereas in Pat1
and PAT2 the last board (i.e. the board remaining on the sawmill bed after the last cut)
can be of thickness different from other boards’.
In BED REF mode you can use up to five pre-programmed board thicknesses (they are
stored under the Board Thickness buttons as well as the PAT1 and PAT2 buttons).
In PAT mode the PAT1 and PAT2 buttons store thicknesses of the lowest dimension that
saw will cut. Only Board Thickness buttons can be used to program thicknesses of the
boards that will be cut until you get this lowest dimension.
