B1001 ORDER OF ADJUSTMENTS Read all the adjustment instructions before beginning adjusting, and then follow the step-by-step instructions while adjusting. IMPORTANT! To ensure good operation of the sawmill, it is important that it is correctly adjusted. Some adjustments affect other machine settings. Due to this, it is crucial that you follow the order outlined below.
Page 32
ORDER OF ADJUSTMENTS ADJUST THE LEVELNESS OF THE RAIL FRAME To ensure a good sawing result, it is important that the rails are completely level. Earlier, we have adjusted the levelness along the long sides of the rail frame. Now the rail frame is to be adjusted on its short sides.

ORDER OF ADJUSTMENTS Measurement Measurement point 1 point 2 X mm X mm ADJUST THE PARALLELITY BETWEEN THE BAND BLADE AND THE CROSS BUNKS To ensure a good sawing result, it is important that the band blade is parallel with the cross bunks. Measure the vertical distance between the blade and the cross bunk.
Page 35
B1001 ORDER OF ADJUSTMENTS TIGHTEN THE BLADE GUIDE ARM To ensure good operation of the sawmill, it is important that the blade guide arm runs without play in the blade guard holder. Loosen the Allen bolt on the blade guard holder and push the wheel down as in the illustration.
Page 36
ORDER OF ADJUSTMENTS Measurement point 1 ADJUST THE PARALLELITY BETWEEN THE BAND BLADE AND THE RAILS To ensure good operation of the sawmill it is important that the blade is parallel to the rails. Place a X mm straightedge on the blade as close as possible to one of the blade guide rollers.
B1001 OTHER ADJUSTMENTS Read all the adjustment instructions The following instructions are crucial for before beginning adjusting, and then a good operation of the sawmill, but the follow the step-by-step instructions adjustments do not affect each other while adjusting. and do not have to be carried out in a particular order.
Page 38
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS LOG SUPPORTS To ensure good operation of the sawmill, it is important that the cross bunk and the log support are at right angles to each other. Adjust this by turning the adjusting handle located at the lower part of the log support. Check the angle with a set square.
