OPERATION Edger Setup 5. Emergency Stop Push the emergency stop button to stop the blade and the track feed motors. Turn the emergency stop clockwise to release the stop. The machine will not restart until the emergency stop is released. Edger Setup Before starting to use the Edger you have to meet the IMPORTANT!
Page 20
OPERATION Edger Setup When starting the machine for the first time, check that IMPORTANT! blade rotation direction is as indicated by the arrow located on the blades covers. If the rotation direction is incorrect, invert the phases in the phase inverter located in the power socket (electric box). Setting the phases in the phase inverter correctly will ensure correct rotation directions of all machine motors.
OPERATION Machine Start Machine Start Before starting the machine, perform these steps to avoid DANGER! injury and/or damage to the equipment: Close the blade housing covers and replace any guards removed for service. Check the feed rollers and remove all loose objects such as tools, wood, etc. Make sure all persons are a safe distance from the machine.
Page 22
OPERATION Machine Start See Figure 3-3. The speed at the feed rollers move is adjustable by dial lockated on the control panel, allows the operator to adjust the feed rate from 0 to ca. 25 m per minute. START STOP Tb0039 FIG.
The main shaft’s strength and motor horsepower allows you to use maximally five blades with your Edger. Using more blades may make the cutting parameters worse and cause the shaft to crack. The standard Wood-Mizer Edger is equipped with two blades. The additional three blades in Edger are installed on the provided bushing with spacers.
Page 24
OPERATION Multirip Option 285mm 285mm FIG. 3-3 NOTE: After installing the additional bushing with blades, you should turn off the Setworks controller because the remaining range of movable blade movement is insufficient for performing the auto-calibration. However, you can still automatically move the movable blade in the remaining range of its movement - using the additional blades distance setting switches located below the Setworks controller ON/OFF switch.

Maintenance & Alignment Changing the Blades SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE & ALIGNMENT Changing the Blades 1. Replace the blades as necessary. Dull blades will cause the motor to work harder and will result in decreased cut quality and accuracy. Blade life will vary depending on maintenance of machine, operator, species of wood being sawn, and condition of wood being sawn.
Page 37
Maintenance & Alignment Changing the Blades 5. Next, remove the blades from the shaft. To do this, remove the fixed blade locking nut using the provided spanner wrenches and next remove the fixed blade. Loosen the two allen screws on the fixed blade arbor and remove the arbor from the shaft.
Maintenance & Alignment Tensioning the Belts Tensioning the Belts Always shut off the motor and allow all moving parts to DANGER! come to a complete stop before removing any guards or covers. Failure to do so will result in serious injury. Before tensioning the belts, make sure the motor is shut off completely and the main switch is in "0"...
Maintenance & Alignment Tensioning the Chains Drive Belts Mounting Bolts Adjustment Bolts FIG. 5-2 Tensioning the Chains Board Feed Drive Chains Check the board feed drive chains for tension every 40 hours of operation and tension as necessary. The chains should have approximately 15mm of slack. The smaller idler chains have no NOTE: adjustment.

Maintenance & Alignment Tensioning the Chains Retighten the gearbox mounting bolts and close and secure the gearbox housing cover. Gearbox Mounting Bolts (4) Adjustment Bolts (2) Idler Chains FIG. 5-3 Blade & Laser Positioning Chains Check the blade and laser positioning chains for tension every 100 hours of operation and tension as necessary.
Maintenance & Alignment Checking the Rollers Locking Nut Chain Tension Adjustment Nut Adjustment Bolt FIG. 5-4 Checking the Rollers 1. Check the feed rollers every 8 hours of operation. Remove any dirt or debris from the rollers. Make sure they spin freely, without much play. Replace the spring-loaded feed rollers as needed. 2.
Maintenance & Alignment Maintaining and Sharpening Anti-Kickback Fingers blade change (See Section 4.1). Maintaining and Sharpening Anti-Kickback Fingers This machine has the potential for kick-backs. Kick-backs can cause the board to be suddenly and uncontrollably hurled towards the operator. Such action can result in severe injury or death. If you are working with frozen boards or with boards that have protruding knots, the chance of kickbacks is increased.
Page 43
Maintenance & Alignment Alignment See Figure 5-5. Laser Laser Beam 60mm FIG 5-5 Adjustable blade and its laser indicator alignment 6. To position the adjustable blade, set the blade to 200mm using buttons and scale. Measure from the inside of the fixed blade to the inside of the movable blade. If necessary, loosen the movable blade arm and slide the blade assembly on the shaft until the blades are 200mm apart.
Maintenance & Alignment Blade Sharpening Blade Sharpening The blade teeth should be sharpened as soon as their dullness, measured as shown in the figure on the right, is .10 -.20 mm. Use diamond grinding wheels for sharpening the blades. Apply intensive cooling during sharpening to prevent overheating and structural changes in the cemented carbide tips.
Maintenance & Alignment Using the Blades Using the Blades The surfaces of spacers should be clean and flat against one another. The blade should not rotate on the shaft during sharpening as it will lead to its damage. It is not recommended to change the blade mounting hole. Unsuitable hole modification will result in decreased breaking strength, increased radial run-out and wavy cuts.

DC Electromagnetic Brake Service Service During normal operation and at the routine inspections verify the air gap and check if all screws are tight. In case when any symptoms of inefficient braking are observed, then use the self-locking nut (8) to re-adjust the air gap to the value corresponding to Table 1. Such readjustment may be repeated until the brake linings are completely worn out.
