Calculating the Yield
Measure the log’s top end and determine how the log should be utilised for the timber in ques- tion. Include the thickness of the saw cut in the calculation.
The saw cut thickness = 2 mm.
Sawing
!WARNING!
Use the following protective equipment when sawing:
•Boots or shoes fitted with steel toe- caps.
•Hearing protection.
•Eye protection.
•Always have a first aid kit nearby.
Before starting the engine, check that:
•All guards are fitted and undamaged.
•No unauthorised personnel are within the risk zone.
1.Place the log on the rails facing the folding log supports (FIG. 46).
2.Set the height of the bandsaw blade using the crank (29).
3.Clean any sand from the log, if necessary. This results in less wear.
4.Place the band guide (8) as close as possible to the log without the log and band guide touching each other. Lock the band guide using the lever (7).
5.Check the cleaning fluid tank (3) and fill with cleaning fluid if necessary. Use a cleaning fluid with lubricating properties, for example, water and detergent. The mixture should be made up of 80% water and 20% detergent. Wintertime: add windscreen washer fluid.
6.Check the fuel tank (17) and fill with fuel if necessary. See page 23.
