»
the blade is correctly installed, properly tensioned
and aligned, and can rotate freely in the correct
direction.
Before each cut, ensure that:
»
no person other than the operator and no pets are
within the minimum safety distances;
»
the worksite is free of objects that the operator can
trip over, hazards or distractions.
»
the blade will clear the log posts and log dogs;
»
the rails and track are free of debris;
»
the log is firmly secured with the log clamping
mechanisms;
»
the adjustable blade guide will clear the widest
portion of the next cut by one inch and is secured in
place;
»
the blade and bandwheel guards are correctly
installed and securely locked; and
»
the operator is wearing all personal protective
equipment.
At regular intervals during operation, ensure that no
person other than the operator and no pets are
within the minimum safety distances.
Turn the motor off if you are going to leave the
operating station behind the carriage, even just
temporarily, for example when loading or
repositioning logs or removing lumber.
Never overreach. Keep proper footing at all times.
Discontinue operating the equipment or handling
blades if you become fatigued or distracted.
Stay focused and alert. Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense.
If your sawmill is equipped with an electric powered
motor:
Risk of electric shock! Hazardous voltage inside the
disconnect box, starter box and at the electric motor
can cause shock, burns or death.
Electrical short danger! Ensure that you do not short
out any part of the electrical system. Shorting out
the electrical system can cause both of the sawhead
support cables to simultaneously break suddenly
and the sawhead to drop violently causing serious
injury.
Only a qualified electrician can open the electrical
equipment. All electrical installation, service and
maintenance work must be performed by a qualified
electrician and must be performed in accordance to
applicable electrical codes. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
Before installing, servicing or maintaining any of the
electrical equipment, turn the control panel to the
OFF position and disconnect (unplug) the power
supply electrical cable from your electrical outlet.

Follow all applicable electrical codes.
If you have any reason to suspect that there is
anything wrong with the electrical system,
immediately disconnect (unplug) the power supply
electrical cable from your electrical outlet, turn the
control panel to the OFF position and remove the
ignition key and contact a qualified electrician to
service the electrical equipment. Do not operate the
equipment until it has been serviced by a qualified
electrician and certified fully safe to operate
Storing the Equipment
When storing the equipment, turn the control panel
to the OFF position and disconnect (unplug) the
power supply electrical cable from your electrical
outlet. Take any other measures necessary to
prevent unauthorized operators from accessing or
starting the equipment.
Ensure that the blade and bandwheel guards are
correctly installed and securely locked.
Lower the sawhead to its lowest position.
Always store the equipment in a secure and locked
location completely inaccessible by children or any
persons.
When not in use or when unattended, even for short
periods of time such as during breaks, remove the
blade from the sawmill and store it in a location
inaccessible by children or any persons. In addition
to being a wise safety precaution, removing the
blade from the sawmill ensures that it is not stored
under tension and so prevents premature blade
fatigue.
When not in use, take measures to secure
thecarriage to the bed to prevent the carriage from
being blown or inadvertently rolled along the track.
Always store all blades in a secure and locked
location completely inaccessible by children or any
persons.
If your sawmill is equipped with the optional trailer
package: When storing the equipment, always
remove the drawbar and wheels and secure them in
a different location and take any other measures
necessary to prevent unauthorized persons from
accessing or moving the equipment.
The machine can be stored under ambient
temperatures between -25 °C and +55 °C.
When storing the equipment, turn the electric motor
OFF and remove the blade. Disconnect (unplug) the
power supply electrical cable from your electrical
outlet.
