Safety rules

There are special safety rules to follow and dangers to be aware of when working with the Logosol M7 WoodWorkers Mill.

This symbol points to dangers. However, since all risks are not marked, you must read the entire text.

This symbol calls for additional attention to the text.

Read through this whole manual carefully before using the M7. Failure to observe these safety instructions may result in fatal injury.

Make sure that every person who uses the machine is well informed of the dangers and has read the entire manual. The manual must also be available to everyone using the sawmill. This is also necessary if the machine is sold or loaned out.

Read the manual and safety rules for the particular sawing unit used on the M7.

Minors under age 18 should not be allowed to operate the M7.

Make sure that children and animals are kept at a safe distance.

While the Logosol WoodWorkers Mill is a one- person machine, be sure that there are other persons within hailing distance. The proper safety distance for persons

other than the operator is 8 m (26 feet) from all sides except where the logs are rolled in.

The safety distance from this side is 15 m (50 feet), due to the danger of the chain being thrown out if it breaks.

Anyone working with the Logo- sol M7 WoodWorkers Mill must be well-rested, healthy and in good physical condition. Take regular breaks while working and never operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol, other drugs or medicines that might cause drowsiness or in-attention.

Work only in when the light is good – never in darkness, fog or the like.

Whenever you add extra equipment to the M7 sawmill, use products made by Logosol or specifically approved by Logosol for the purpose. Other equipment can cause accidents and thus should not be used. Logosol will not accept liability for personal injury or material damage incurred while using unauthorized attachments.

Should a sawing unit weighing more than 15 kg (33 lbs) be used, support legs must be fitted under the guide rail ends in order to avoid tipping.

Always wear authorized personal protective

clothing and equipment. Close-fitting working overalls are the appropriate garment – never wear loose items, worker’s jackets or the like.

Do not wear a neckerchief, tie, jewellery or other items that can get caught in the equipment.

Use safety shoes with high-grip soles and steel toecaps.

Wear a safety helmet with hearing protection and a face shield.

Remember that hearing can be damaged after relatively

short exposure to the high frequency sounds from the motor and the cutting equipment.

Protective goggles are also required as a face shield used alone will not provide sufficient protection for the eyes.

Wear strong gloves. There is an injury risk whenever you handle the chain and the

cutting equipment can be hot after sawing .

Never reach over or under the guide rail during operation. The cutting equipment can cause severe injuries.
