Safety Electrical Lockout Procedures PURPOSE This procedure establishes the minimum requirements for the lockout of energy isolating devices whenever maintenance or servicing is done on machines or equipment. It shall be used to ensure that the machine or equipment is stopped, isolated from all potentially hazardous energy sources and locked out before personnel perform any servicing or maintenance where the unexpected enervation or start-up of the machine or equipment or release of stored energy could cause injury.
Page 30
Safety Electrical Lockout Procedures CAUTION! Return operating control(s) to neutral or "off" position after verifying the isolation of the equipment. 8. The machine or equipment is now locked out. RESTORING EQUIPMENT TO SERVICE When the servicing or maintenance is completed and the machine or equipment is ready to return to normal operating condition, the following steps shall be taken.

Page 62
Sawmill Operation Hydraulic Control Operation If using the standard log loading arm, move the left joystick to the right to lower the load- ing arm as far as it will go. Logs must be rolled onto the loading arm one at a time for loading onto the bed of the mill.
Sawmill Operation Loading, Turning And Clamping Logs Loading, Turning And Clamping Logs TO LOAD LOGS 1. Start the engine and move the saw carriage to the front end of the frame. CAUTION! Before loading a log, be sure the cutting head is moved far enough forward so the log does not hit it.
Page 64
Sawmill Operation Loading, Turning And Clamping Logs TO TURN LOGS 1. Engage the log turner arm. Let the arm rise until it touches the log. 2. Spin the log against the side supports until it is turned the way you want it for the first cut. TO TURN LOGS (OPTIONAL PROCEDURE) If you are turning a small cant on a mill with two-plane clamp, you may opt to use the clamp to turn the cant.
Sawmill Operation Up/Down Operation Up/Down Operation This section describes operation of the up/down system with the control in manual mode. See Section 4.9 for alternate instructions for operating the up/down system in Auto or Pattern modes. 1. Install a blade, if needed, and check for correct blade tension (See Section 3.4).

Page 98
Sawmill Operation Cutting The Log 9. Lower the toe boards, if they were used. Use the joysticks in bed mode to release the clamp and engage the log turner. Turn the log 90 or 180 degrees. Make sure the flat on the log is placed flat against side supports if turned 90 degrees.
Sawmill Operation Edging 4.11 Edging 1. Raise the side supports to 1/2 the height of the flitches, or the boards that need to be edged. 2. Stack the flitches on edge against the side supports. 3. Clamp the flitches against the side supports halfway up the flitch height. (Wider flitches should be placed to the clamp side.
Sawmill Operation Optional Cutting Procedure 4.12 Optional Cutting Procedure In order to achieve maximum production rates, it may be desirable to leave the blade engaged when returning the carriage. (Normal operation procedures recommend disen- gaging the blade before returning the carriage for maximum blade life and fuel economy.) DANGER! If leaving the blade engaged for maximum pro- duction rates, make sure the off-bearer stays out of the path...
15 seconds. This will clean the blade of sap buildup. Wipe the blade dry with a rag before storing or sharpening. For further lubrication benefits, add one 12oz. (0.35L) bottle of Wood-Mizer Lube Additive to 5 gallons (18.9 liters) of water. Wood-Mizer Lube Additive enables some previously impossible timbers to be cut by significantly reducing resin buildup on the blade.
Page 102
Sawmill Operation Water Lube Operation WARNING! Use ONLY water and Wood-Mizer Lube Additive with the water lube accessory. Never use flammable fuels or liquids such as diesel fuel. If these types of liquids are necessary to clean the blade, remove it and clean with a rag. Failure to do so can damage the equip- ment and may result in serious injury or death.
Preparing The Sawmill For Towing 4.14 Preparing The Sawmill For Towing The Wood-Mizer trailer package makes transporting your sawmill easy and convenient. 1. Move the saw carriage to the front end of the sawmill. 2. Raise the rear outriggers. (See the Fine Adjust Outrigger (FAO) manual for outrigger operation instructions.)

Routine Alignment Procedure SECTION 7 SAWMILL ALIGNMENT The Wood-Mizer sawmill is factory aligned. Two alignment procedures are available to realign the sawmill if necessary. The Routine Alignment instructions should be performed as necessary to solve sawing problems not related to blade performance. The Complete Alignment procedure should be performed approximately every 1500 hours of operation (sooner if you regularly transport the sawmill over rough terrain).
Sawmill Alignment Saw Head Tilt Saw Head Tilt As the blade enters a wide log or cant, the outside of the saw head will drop down slightly. To compensate for the drop, the saw head is adjusted 1/16" (1.5 mm) higher at the out- side.
Sawmill Alignment Blade Guide Arm Alignment See Figure 7-2. To adjust the saw head tilt, use the bolts located at the bottom of the saw head mast. Loosen the three sets of four retaining plate bolts. To raise the outside of the saw head, back the stop bolts out, then tighten the adjustment bolts.
