INSTALLATION

One-man sawmill with chain saw engine

Adjusting the bar

The bar must be adjusted so that it is parallel with the log bolsters and with the rails. This is done using the nuts under the vibration damping plate. Set the bar so that it is parallel with the rails by positioning a straight ruler measuring approximately 1 m across the bar. Then place a board between the log bolsters on the rails. Adjust with the two inner adjustment nuts, so that the distance between the board and the ruler is the same. Using the nuts under the vibration damping plate, the ruler (FIG. 35) can be adjusted so that it is parallel (has the same dimensions at both ends).

Then adjust the bar so that it is parallel with the log bolsters (FIG. 36). Adjust using the outer adjustment nut until the distance between the log bolsters and the bar is the same along the entire length of the bar. Then tighten the locking nuts. Check the setting once more. To achieve the optimum result, it is very important to ensure that these settings are performed accurately. This prevents the timber being at an angle or the bar catching.

One-man sawmill with electric motor

Checking the bar

On a one-man sawmill with electric motor, the parallelism of the bar is set in the factory. To ensure that this setting has not been altered during transport and installation, the setting (FIG. 37) should be checked when the sawmill has been installed in accordance with the instructions for the one-man sawmill with chain saw engine. Adjust the bar using the adjustment screws on the console’s plastic guides.
