The context does not provide specific symptoms of the Wood-Mizer SW-10 Setworks turning on and off. However, it mentions that after switching on, the "SW-10" inscription appears on the display, and the Setworks is ready for operation within a few seconds. If the encoder impulse direction is incorrect, the saw head height on the display may rise during downward movement, indicating a wiring issue. This incorrect behavior may cause the controller to not work correctly.

OPERATION SW-10 Controller Panel Descriptions of the controller panel buttons: A, B, C - Board thickness memory buttons, program memory buttons SAVE PROG - confirming a program, setting a head return height MANUAL PROGRAM - activating the Manual Program mode, switching items upwards QUICK PROGRAM - activating the Quick Program mode, switching items downwards SET HEIGHT - entering a real distance between the blade and the sawmill bed DEL.
Enter the kerf value. NOTE: We recommend using Wood-Mizer blades only. For the Wood-Mizer blades, the kerf value should be 2mm, so you should press “2” and “0” buttons. Kerf values with an accuracy of up to 0.1 mm can be entered into the memory of SW-10 Setworks.
Page 20
OPERATION Start-up Settings of the Controller See Figure 2-2. FIGURE 2-2 To save the kerf value setting, press . The controller will display the text “SAVE” and will exit the function. NOTE: From this moment, the Setworks controller will be calculating next cutting positions taking into account the stored kerf value.

OPERATION Start-up Settings of the Controller If the blade height on the display is incorrect, press and hold down . The upper display will show horizontal dashes. Enter the correct blade height dimension (using the keypad) and press The end of the function will be signaled and the normal mode of operation will be restored. ...
OPERATION Operation in Normal Mode - To save the parameter, push Operation in Normal Mode CAUTION! The minimum thickness of the last board (when using the automatic modes) cannot be lower than 30 mm [LT15, LT20 and WM1000 sawmills] or 50mm [LT40 sawmills]. To cut a thinner board, you need to manually lower the saw head.
OPERATION Controller Operation in Pre-defined Head Return Height Mode position. Only the first cut position has to be set manually. NOTE: After making the first cut you will not need to set the head height manually. Controller Operation in Pre-defined Head Return Height Mode If you want to saw without removing each cut board, you should preprogram the head return height.

OPERATION Controller Operation in Pre-defined Head Return Height Mode Select the board thickness and press When the cut is made, press ; the head will go up to the preprogrammed height above the log or cant. Press and the saw head will drop by the selected board thickness to the next cut ...
OPERATION Remote Mode Remote Mode The SW-10 controller is adapted for use along with the sawmill up/down switch. Therefore, during cutting you can use the up/down switch instead of the buttons. The Remote mode is activated with the button. After activating of this function, the “Remote control” light should come on. The Remote mode is activated automatically after confirming a sawing program.
OPERATION Pattern Modes Pattern Modes To create a series of cuts calculated from the bed level, use one of the Pattern modes: Manual Program or Quick Program. These two modes can be used for entering a program for cutting one log only. Such programs are not saved in the controller memory and are deleted when the cutting operation is completed.
OPERATION Pattern Modes Start the cutting process. When cutting, use the buttons, as in the normal mode. 2.7.1 ’’Quick Program” Mode The Quick Program mode can be used to quickly create a program of cuts referenced from the sawmill bed. In this mode, it is not necessary to enter each board thickness value, as opposed to the Manual Program mode.
OPERATION Pattern Modes 2.8.1 Storing Programs in the Setworks Memory The controller allows the operator to create and store three sawing programs. Thus, the operator can quickly activate a program with frequently used board dimensions, saving time needed for making changes in any existing program.
Page 30
OPERATION Pattern Modes Finish activating of the program by pressing . If the head return height was preset, the ’’Height” light will come on indicating that this value was saved. CAUTION! Remember to set the head at the first cut height before you finish activating of the program.
