When using a petrol-driven chain-saw:
Fire danger – Turn the motor off before filling with
petrol. Petrol is extremely flammable! Burns can cause death! If you spill any fuel, clean off any parts involved. If you get fuel on your clothing, change immediately.
Close the tank lid as tightly as possible in order to reduce the risk of it coming loose due to vibrations during sawing.

Before using the M7: Check the condition of the lifting lines especially carefully, replacing them at the slightest sign of wear. Check that all bolts and lock nuts on the log bed lifting unit and the locking sys- tem are tight and that all moving parts move freely.
To avoid tipping, check that the M7 stands level and is well fastened in the bedding.
To avoid chain breaks, check that the cutting equipment is correctly assembled.

Service:
The M7 sawmill must be checked regularly and maintained as needed. Perform only the maintenance and repairs specified in the manual. Other repairs must be done by Logosol or by authorized Logosol dealers. Do not make any alterations in the construction of the sawmill as this can increase the accident risk. After service, the M7 sawmill should be returned to its original condition. Logosol accepts no liability for damage that occurs while working on an improperly modified machine.
During operation:
To avoid tipping, never place the machine at an
angle while operating. The M7 should be fastened directly to the floor or be placed on a bedding of planks in order to increase the contact surface (follow the manual).
Hold the crank firmly whenever raising or lowering a log. If released, the crank may spin back and hit your hand.
Do not place your hand inside the long leg while raising or lowering the log. Should the lifting line snap or the crank spin, your hand may be caught.
Logs must always be rolled on to the sawmill level with the horizontal beam. Do not lift logs from ground level directly onto the sawmill as this can cause injury if the machine tips or the log falls.
Do not saw logs that are so short that they do not extend
0.2m (app. 10 “) outside each log bed. A shorter log could fall when the log beds are raised.
The overall max. load capacity of the M7 is 500 kg (1100 lbs). The 2.5 m extension increases the capacity by 250 kg (550 lbs) for each extension with a lifting unit.
Always stand to the right of the
