Operation
DANGER!
Make sure all guards and covers are in place
and secured before operating the debarker option. Failure
to do so may result in serious injury.
DANGER!
Keep all persons out of the path of moving
equipment when operating the debarker. Failure to do so
will result in serious injury.
1.
Remove the blade motor cover before operating the debarker.
2.
Make sure the warning bell sounds when the debarker is turned on.
WARNING!
Debarker is ON when warning bell sounds. DO
NOT disconnect the warning bell. Doing so may result in
serious injury.
3.
Use the in/out switch on the control box to pivot the debarker all the way out.
4.
Move the sawmill carriage forward and pivot the debarker in until the front fence engages
with the end/side of the log.
5.
Turn the debarker on/off switch to ON (1).
6.
Proceed with cutting. The actuator will keep the debarker against the side of the log.
Depending on log shape, you may have to pivot the debarker in and out for smooth cut-
ting.
NOTE:
The debarker can continuously remove up to
approximately 1” of material from the log; no motor cool
down time is required. Slower feed rates may be required
for optimal debarker operation.
7.
Once the carriage is past the end of the log, pivot the debarker away from the log. Return
the carriage.
