  • Page 3: General Safety Rules

    Thank you very much for choosing the TMG-PSM26 Portable Sawmill. For future reference, please complete the owner’s purchase date: Save the receipt for warranty and these instructions. It is important that you read the entire manual to become familiar with this product before you begin using it.
  • Page 4 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WORK AREA  Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause accidents.  Do not use your sawmill where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust.
  • Page 5 PERSONAL SAFETY  Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
  • Page 6  Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for another sawmill may create a risk of injury when used on the GT26 sawmill.  Always operate machine with all safety devices and guards in place and in working order. DO NOT modify or make changes to safety devices.

  • Page 7: General Maintenance Information

    MAINTENANCE Proper and routine maintenance is critical to operator safety, achieving good milling results and to prolonging the life of your investment. 1. Band wheel Bearings — Should be inspected before use to ensure they are not worn. Bearings are sealed and do not need to be greased. 2.

  • Page 8: Sawmill Assembly Instructions

    SAWMILL ASSEMBLY #1 – INSPECTION Take all of the parts out of the shipping crate and lay them out. #2 – TRACKS Assemble track system and secure loosely with provided nuts & bolts. It is important not to fully tighten the bolts at this stage.
  • Page 9 2.Attach track cross supports to “L” channel with the provided nuts & bolts. The joining plate is used at the seam joint to join the two sections together (shown in right-down image). Ensure to only hand tighten at this stage. The bolts will be fully tightened once the head assembly is free to roll on the tracks and provide the correct track width.

  • Page 10: Log Dog & Supports

    #3 – LOG DOG & SUPPORTS Assemble log dog pieces as shown below and use water proof grease on threaded handle and “T” handle. Clamp for large logs Clamp for small logs & cants Attach assembly to the track using the provided nuts & bolts and tighten.Attach log dog assembly to track as shown below with the 4 nuts and bolts provided.
  • Page 11 We recommend tex screwing the leveling legs to sleepers once the mill has been made level. So before tex screwing the mill to the sleepers, it is highly recommended that you run a string line down both sides of the mill, to make sure the track is straight and level. (The string line is in pink in the above picture).

  • Page 12: Carriage Assembly

    #4 – CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY 1.Place a moving blanket on the shipping pallet that the sawmill crate was strapped to. The blanket will prevent the blade guard covers from becoming scratched. Using a minimum of two people or a mechanical advantage system, remove the head assembly from the sawmill crate and place face down on the blanket.
  • Page 13 4.Assemble round vertical post (shown on right) to wheel assembly using the two bolts and back plate. Repeat same step for the square vertical post assembly (shown on left). Hexagon head bolt: M12x80 Hexagon self-locking nut: M12 Flat washer: 5.Lock the cam handles on both the round and square post to prevent the head from moving when it is stood up in the coming steps.
  • Page 14 6.With one person on each post, stand the head assembly up on the wheels as shown above. Again, using a minimum of two people, set the saw head assembly on the track system ensuring the carriage wheel grooves rest on the “L” rails. The square vertical post should be on the same side as the log supports.

  • Page 20 13.Add waterproof grease to the threads of the blade tension “T” handle and to the washer face that it meets before use. Proper blade tension is achieved when the blade deflects no more than a total of 1/8” - 1/4” up/down.
  • Page 21 15.Push the saw head up and down the track system to ensure that the width of the track allows for the saw head to move freely. If it binds, the “L” rails will need to be set further or closer together to achieve a consistent width along the entire track system.

  • Page 23: Engine

    #5 – ENGINE Refer to the engine manual before using your sawmill. Please note that the engine does not contain any petrol or engine oil when it is shipped. Furthermore, the engine is equipped with an oil alert system, meaning that if the crankcase oil level is low or empty, the power is cut to the spark plug and it will not start.

  • Page 24: Sawmill Set-Up Procedures

    SAWMILL SET-UP PROCEDURES #1 – BELT TENSION To check the belt tension, with your hand, firmly try to deflect the belt up and down. There should be no more than 1/4” of deflection in both directions (1/2” total). If the belt deflects more than this, it will need to be tightened as described below.

  • Page 25: Blade Tracking

    Now that the engine is free to slide on the engine mounting plate, turn the 16mm nut on the horizontal stud in the clockwise direction. This will pull the engine towards the stud and apply more tension on the belt. Do this step incrementally while checking the belt for proper deflection. It is also important to ensure that the engine remains perpendicular to the drive belt.
  • Page 26 Loosen the blade guide assembly bolt with a socket. The round shaft should now be free to slide rearward and out of the way. Perform this step on both guide assemblies. This will ensure that the guide bearings do not influence tracking of the blade while adjusting. Take some tension off of the blade by turning the “T”...
  • Page 27 The alignment bolt can now be turned to change the angle of the bandwheel and track the blade. To move the blade more rearward on the bandwheel, this bolt will need to be turned clockwise. Alternatively, turning the bolt in the counter-clockwise direction would force the blade to run more forward on the bandwheel.
  • Page 28 Adjusting The Left Hand Side Vertical Vertical Nut Bolt Bottom Bottom Bottom Vertical Vertical Nut Vertical Bolt Bolt To adjust the left side of the sawmill, again start by taking the tension off of the blade by turning the “T” handle one turn in the counter-clockwise direction.

  • Page 29: Blade Guide Adjustment

    Moving The Blade Rearward Using a 16mm wrench, hold the “horizontal bolt” stationary with a wrench and turn the “horizontal outside nut” counter-clockwise a ½ turn. Still holding the “horizontal bolt” stationary, turn the “horizontal inside nut” clockwise a ½ turn. This step has now shifted the “horizontal bolt” and bandwheel shaft, causing the blade to track more forward.

  • Page 30: Blade Tension

    Loosen the blade guide assembly bolt with a 16mm socket. The round shaft should now be free to slide back and forth. Position it so that there is a paper width gap between the bearing and the back of blade. Tighten bolt against the flat on the shaft to secure assembly back in position.
  • Page 31 When tensioning the blade, make sure the tracking adjustment bolt sitting behind the T handle (pictured) is sitting back in its recess after you have finished and before the mill is run. Failure to do this will result in the blade being thrown and possibly broken. Tracking adjustment bolt out of recess, of it looks like this DO NOT start the mill until it is resting back in its recess Tracking adjustment bolt sitting in recess.

  • Page 32: Sawmill Maintenance

    SAWMILL MAINTENANCE #1 – CHANGING THE BLADE Never attempt the below with the engine running. As a safety precaution, remove the spark plug cap. Gloves and safety glasses must be worn when changing the blade. Remove the tension in the blade by turning the “T” handle in the counter-clockwise direction and then open the blade guard cover.
  • Page 33 Remove the tension in the blade by turning the “T” handle in the counter-clockwise direction and then open the blade guard cover. The blade should now be loose and free to pull straight out the front. To change the drive side belt, loosen the four bolts that secure the engine to the engine mount using a 16mm wrench.

  • Page 34: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLESHOOTING Problem/Issue Possible Causes Resolution Options 1. Inadequate blade tension. 1. Tighten blade. Refer to page 32. Producing wavy cuts. 2. Improper blade guide set up. 2. Gap between guide blocks and blade are incorrect. Refer to 3. Improper blade tracking. page 31.
