Saw blade
!
WARNING!
The saw blade has sharp cutting
surfaces. Be careful to avoid injury.
Always wear protective gloves
while handling the saw blade.
For optimum capacity, the teeth of the saw blade
must be set and sharpened at regular intervals. For
normal sawing in most types of wood, this must be
done after every 2 hour session of effective
sawing time, i.e. the time during which the saw
blade is cutting.
If certain types of wood having a high content of
sand are sawed, the saw blade will have to be
sharpened more often.
To remove the saw blade
Remove the saw blade in the following manner:
1. Remove the blade wheel guard. See
page 14.
2. loosen the right-hand blade wheel by cranking
it about 10 turns counter-clockwise.
3. Remove the saw blade carefully.
Cleaning and checking for cracks
Clean the saw blade to remove sawdust and
coatings. Then check the blade to detect any cracks
(A) at the tooth gullets. Small cracks can be ground
off when setting the teeth of the saw blade. If the
cracks are so large that they cannot be ground off
the saw bladewill have to be scrapped.
Cracks in the saw blade is the most common cause
of the blade breaking.
Setting the saw teeth
The teeth of the saw blade must be set to the
dimensions given in the ajacent figure. Every third
tooth must be left straight. Set the teeth as follows:
B=Right-hand setting, 0,4-0,5 mm.
C=Left-hand setting, 0,4-0,5 mm
D=No setting.
The greater the setting accuracy, the better the saw
teeth will run smoothly and in linear manner through
the log being sawed.
