    Debarker Installation SECTION 3 ALIGNMENT DANGER! Before performing any service to this equip- ment, turn the key to the OFF (0) position and remove the key. Failure to do so will result in serious injury or death. The debarker blade should be aligned to the sawmill blade to insure proper operation. The debarker blade should be parallel with and aligned vertically with the sawmill blade.
  • Page 31 Debarker Installation See Figure 3-1. Loosen mounting bolts to tilt debarker frame After debarker frame is aligned, tighten set screws 3H0581 FIG. 3-1 3. Clip the blade guide alignment tool to the sawmill blade. Make sure the tool lies flat on the blade and does not contact a tooth that could cause it to angle.
  • Page 32 Debarker Installation See Figure 3-2. Alignment tool 3H0239 Half debarker blade thickness Sawmill blade Debarker blade FIG. 3-2 4. Check the height of the debarker blade against the alignment tool. The bottom edge of the tool should align with the center of the debarker blade. To adjust the blade up or down, loosen the debarker head U-bolts.
  • Page 33 Debarker Installation See Figure 3-3. FIG. 3-3 To adjust, loosen the cutting head U-bolts and pivot the head. Be sure to maintain the height adjustment made in the previous step. Retighten the U-bolts. Rev. D.03+ Only 6. Insert the key and use the debarker in/out switch to move the debarker all the way out. Turn the key to OFF (0) and remove the key.

    Operation and Maintenance Locking Pin Operation SECTION 4 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Locking Pin Operation 1. Before towing the sawmill, engage the travel locking pin to prevent the debarker from swinging freely during towing. To do this, run the debarker all the way in. 2.
  • Page 35: Control Overview

    Operation & Maintenance Control Overview Control Overview The Debarker Option allows you to remove bark from logs ahead of the bandsaw blade. This prevents the bandsaw blade from contacting dirt, sand, or other debris in the bark that can dull the blade. See Figure 4-2.
  • Page 36: Operation

    Operation & Maintenance Operation Operation DANGER! Make sure all guards and covers are in place and secured before operating the debarker option. Failure to do so may result in serious injury. DANGER! Keep all persons out of the path of moving equipment when operating the debarker.
  • Page 37 Operation & Maintenance Operation IMPORTANT! Should the carriage be returned before the debarker has been pivoted out of the way of the log, the debarker is designed to pivot upwards. If this happens, con- tinue to SLOWLY return the carriage; or stop, pivot the debarker out and then return the carriage.
