Well done! Now work continues on setting the rail SETTING: RAIL (Tools are not supplied with the sawmill.) Read through all the setting instructions before starting work, then follow the instructions step by step as you work. Now it is time to adjust the rail. The aim is to make both sides of the rail as flat as possible.
Page 21
B751 SETTING: RAIL Start setting the rail by securing a cord between the alignment holes in the ends of the rail. Position 2 nuts between the cord and the rail to act as a spacer. Make sure that the nuts are placed at the ends of the rail and lift the cord.

Now aim and measure along the string to check that the distance This step is critical to sawmill between the string and the rail is consistent along its entire length. accuracy, so take care and The aim is to achieve even spacing over the entire length of the rail. spend extra time working To adjust the straightness, it may be useful to insert wedges under on this step.
B751 Well done! FINAL ASSEMBLY: RAIL Read through all the assembly instructions before starting assembly, then follow the instructions step by step as you work. The remaining installation work on the rail will now begin. Fit the log tensioning profiles on the log bed.

Then repeat the installation procedure for the second log bed. Fit the spacers for the log support storage in the sides of the rail.
B751 Well done! It is now time to mount the saw head on the rail. SAW HEAD The saw head is partly assembled when supplied. The rail bar tipping wheels must be installed as soon as the saw head has been placed on the rail. After installing...
Page 26
THE SAW HEAD INSTALLING THE SAW HEAD ON THE RAIL Lift the saw head into place on the rail. The saw head weighs 178 kg in total. Use a sling approved for the purpose and attach to the saw head’s lifting eyes. Lift the saw head using the appropriate lifting gear.
Page 27
B751 THE SAW HEAD Fit the wheels and spacers to the anti- tip plate. Then repeat the installation procedure for the second anti-tip plate. 8400-005-0030 M6x35 Fit the anti-tip plate on the bogie tube. Use existing nuts from step 1. Then repeat the installation procedure for the other side of the machine.
FINAL SAW HEAD ASSEMBLY The saw head is assembled on delivery of the sawmill, except for the motor and the handle and crank. Follow the instructions below to complete sawmill assembly before initial start-up. Assembly work begins with the crank and ends by connecting the throttle cable and installing the sawmill motor. Follow the installation instructions and take care with the assembly work.
Page 29
B751 FINAL SAW HEAD ASSEMBLY Insert the handle into the main post Secure the handle in place using the prefitted short fastening screws. M8x16 Secure the handle in place using the long fastening screws. Please note that the inner nut must be positioned so that the hex head of the bolt aligns with the outside of the tube.

FINAL SAW HEAD ASSEMBLY Tension the chain using the chain tensioner. Fit the crank. Liberally grease the crank threads.
B751 INSTALLATION OF THE MOTOR: SEE THE SEPARATE USER MANUAL It is now time to fit the engine. The instructions for fitting the engine are supplied in a separate attachment: see the instructions for the engine you will be working with.
ADJUSTMENT SEQUENCE Read through all the set-up instructions before starting to set up, then follow the instructions step by step as you work. IMPORTANT! It is important to adjust the saw head before starting to ensure satisfactory sawing and the correct functioning of the sawmill. Carefully follow the adjustment sequence! Certain adjustments affect other machine settings.
Page 33
B751 ADJUSTMENT SEQUENCE ADJUST THE RAIL HORIZONTALLY It is important that the rail is completely level so as to ensure that it functions well. We have previously set the straightness of the rail in longitudinal direction. Now the rail has to be adjusted horizontally along the short side.
Page 34
Loosen the locking screw ADJUSTMENT SEQUENCE LONGITUDINAL BLADE POSITION The longitudinal blade position over the wheels is adjusted using the horizontal adjusting screws, i.e. the screws on the outside of the axle mountings. The lock nut must be opened first when adjusting the blade position.
Page 35
B751 ADJUSTMENT SEQUENCE Measurement point 2 Measurement point 1 X mm X mm ADJUST THE SAW BLADE PARALLEL TO THE LOG BEDS It is important for the saw blade to be parallel to the log beds to ensure the proper functioning of the sawmill. Measure the distance vertically down from the blade to the log bed, then note down the values.
Page 36
ADJUSTMENT SEQUENCE TENSION THE BLADE GUARD ARM It is important for the blade guard arm to move smoothly in the attachment plate to ensure proper functioning of the sawmill. Release the Allen head bolt on the blade guard plate, then push the wheel downwards using a screwdriver as illustrated.
Page 37
B751 ADJUSTMENT SEQUENCE Measurement point 1 ADJUST THE BLADE SO THAT IT IS PARALLEL TO THE RAIL It is important for the saw blade to be parallel to the rail to ensure the proper functioning of the X mm sawmill. Place a straightedge on the saw blade, as close to one of the blade guide rollers as possible.
OTHER SETTINGS Read through all the set-up instructions The following settings are important for before starting to set up, then follow the satisfactory operation of the sawmill, instructions step by step as you work. but they do not affect one another and so there is no need to implement them in any particular order.
Page 39
B751 OTHER SETTINGS LOG SUPPORT It is important for the relationship between the log bed and the log support to be perpendicular to ensure the proper functioning of the sawmill. This is adjusted by turning the adjustment handle in the lower part of the log support.
Page 40
OTHER SETTINGS SET THE CRANK SPRING Tighten the lock nut in order to tension the spring so that the handle snaps back easily and locks in the crank pulley. When the handle is working properly, bend the lock washer to secure the lock nut in position.
B751 SAWMILL FEATURES CRANK FEATURE The crank used to move the saw head up and down is spring-loaded and must be pushed against the machine to release the locking mechanism while raising or lowering the saw head. 360 = 1 inch The crank locking mechanism is divided into eight positions on a single rotation.
Page 42
RELATIVE SCALE, BLADE- COMPENSATED mm/Inch SAWMILL FEATURES GAUGE, MM/INCH GAUGE FEATURE The sawmill has two gauges: a millimetre gauge showing the distance between the log bed and the saw blade, and a blade-compensated gauge LAST CUT INDICATOR showing a range of different board thicknesses in inches.
B751 SAWMILL FEATURES WATER COOLING Water cooling is controlled by means of a lever in the side panel in front of the operator. The lever is perpendicular to the panel in its initial position. The lever is pulled backwards to turn on the water flow.
