  • Page 3: General Safety Rules

    Thank you very much for choosing the TMG-PSM27 Portable Sawmill. For future reference, please complete the owner’s purchase date: Save the receipt for warranty and these instructions. It is important that you read the entire manual to become familiar with this product before you begin using it.
  • Page 4 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WORK AREA Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause accidents. Do not use your sawmill where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust.
  • Page 5 PERSONAL SAFETY Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Donot use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Dress properly.
  • Page 6 corrected before further use. Keep saw blades sharp and clean. Properly maintained band saw blades are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Cleaning and Lubrication. Use only soap and a damp cloth to clean your sawmill. Many household cleaners are harmful to plastic and rubber components on the sawmill.

  • Page 7: General Maintenance Information

    MAINTENANCE Proper and routine maintenance is critical to operator safety, achieving good milling results and to prolonging the life of your investment. 1. Band wheel Bearings — Should be inspected before use to ensure they are not worn. Bearings are sealed and do not need to be greased.

  • Page 8: Sawmill Assembly Instructions

    SAWMILL ASSEMBLY #1 – INSPECTION Take all of the parts out of the shipping crate and lay them out. #2 – TRACKS Assemble track system and secure loosely with provided nuts & bolts. It is important not to fully tighten the bolts at this stage. This will be done after the head is assembled and rolled along the track.
  • Page 9 2.Attach track cross supports to “L” channel with the provided nuts & bolts. The joining plate is used at the seam joint to join the two sections together (shown in right-down image). Ensure to only hand tighten at this stage. The bolts will be fully tightened once the head assembly is free to roll on the tracks and provide the correct track width.

    #3 – LOG DOG & SUPPORTS Assemble log dog pieces as shown below and use water proof grease on threaded handle and “T” handle. Attach assembly to the track using the provided nuts & bolts and tighten.Attach log dog assembly to track as shown below with the 4 nuts and bolts provided.
  • Page 11 We recommend tex screwing the leveling legs to sleepers once the mill has been made level. So before tex screwing the mill to the sleepers, it is highly recommended that you run a string line down both sides of the mill, to make sure the track is straight and level. (The string line is in pink in the above picture).

    #4 – CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY 1.Place a moving blanket on the shipping pallet that the sawmill crate was strapped to. The blanket will prevent the blade guard covers from becoming scratched. Using a minimum of two people or a mechanical advantage system, remove the head assembly from the sawmill crate and place face down on the blanker. The head assembly is very heavy, proper technique must be used to avoid injury or damage.

  • Page 25: Engine

    #6– ENGINE Refer to the engine manual before using your sawmill. Please note that the engine does not contain any petrol or engine oil when it is shipped. Furthermore, the engine is equipped with an oil alert system, meaning that if the crankcase oil level is low or empty, the power is cut to the spark plug and it will not start.

  • Page 26: Sawmill Set-Up Procedures

    SAWMILL SET-UP PROCEDURES #1 – BELT TENSION To check the belt tension, with your hand, firmly try to deflect the belt up and down. There should be no more than 1/4” of deflection in both directions (1/2” total). If the belt deflects more than this, it will need to be tightened as described below.

  • Page 27: Blade Tracking

    Now that the engine is free to slide on the engine mounting plate, turn the 16mm nut on the horizontal stud in the clockwise direction. This will pull the engine towards the stud and apply more tension on the belt. Do this step incrementally while checking the belt for proper deflection.
  • Page 28 Loosen the blade guide assembly bolt with a socket. The round shaft should now be free to slide rearward and out of the way. Perform this step on both guide assemblies. This will ensure that the guide bearings do not influence tracking of the blade while adjusting. Take some tension off of the blade by turning the “T”...
  • Page 29 The alignment bolt can now be turned to change the angle of the bandwheel and track the blade. To move the blade more rearward on the bandwheel, this bolt will need to be turned clockwise. Alternatively, turning the bolt in the counter-clockwise direction would force the blade to run more forward on the bandwheel.
  • Page 30 Adjusting The Left Hand Side Vertical Bolt Vertical Nut Bottom Bottom Vertical Nut Vertical Bolt To adjust the left side of the sawmill, again start by taking the tension off of the blade by turning the “T” handle one turn in the counter-clockwise direction. Using a 16mm wrench, loosen the “...

  • Page 31: Blade Guide Adjustment

    Moving The Blade Rearward Using a 16mm wrench, hold the “horizontal bolt” stationary with a wrench and turn the “horizontal outside nut” counter-clockwise a ½ turn. Still holding the “horizontal bolt” stationary, turn the “horizontal inside nut” clockwise a ½ turn. This step has now shifted the “horizontal bolt” and bandwheel shaft, causing the blade to track more forward.

The round shaft should now be free to slide back and forth. Position it so that there is a paper width gap between the bearing and the back of blade.
  • Page 33 When tensioning the blade, make sure the tracking adjustment bolt sitting behind the T handle (pictured) is sitting back in its recess after you have finished and before the mill is run. Failure to do this will result in the blade being thrown and possibly broken.

  • Page 34: Sawmill Maintenance

    SAWMILL MAINTENANCE #1 – CHANGING THE BLADE Never attempt the below with the engine running. As a safety precaution, remove the spark plug cap. Gloves and safety glasses must be worn when changing the blade. Remove the tension in the blade by turning the “T” handle in the counter-clockwise direction and then open the blade guard cover.
  • Page 35 Remove the tension in the blade by turning the “T” handle in the counter-clockwise direction and then open the blade guard cover. The blade should now be loose and free to pull straight out the front. To change the drive side belt, loosen the four bolts that secure the engine to the engine mount using a 16mm wrench.
