  • Page 3: Intended Use

    Thank you very much for choosing the TMG-PSM22 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

    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

    Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for another sawmill may create a risk of injury when used on the TMG-PSM22 sawmill.

  • Page 6: Start Up Procedure - Equipment Operation

    Always operate machine with all safety devices and guards in place and in working order. DO NOT modify or make changes to safety devices. DO NOT operate machine if any safety devices or guards are missing or inoperative. Never leave sawmill running unattended. Coiled blades can spring apart with considerable force and unpredictably in any direction.

  • Page 7: Maintenance

    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 24: 6- 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 25: 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 26: 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 27 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.
  • Page 28 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 29 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 “ vertical nut ” a ½ turn. Do the same on the “bottom vertical nut”...

  • Page 30: 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.

  • Page 31: Blade Tension

    Saw Chuck Shaft Seat Saw Block Thickness of a sheet of paper Saw Blade Thickness of a sheet of paper Loosen the blade guide assembly bolt with a 16mm socket. The round shaft should now be free to slide back and forth.
  • Page 32 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. Tracking adjustment bolt out of recess, of it looks like this DO NOT start the mill until it is resting back in its recess Tracking adjustment bolt sitting in recess.

  • Page 33: 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 34 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. Now that the engine is free to slide on the engine mounting plate, turn the 16mm nut on the horizontal stud in the counter-clockwise direction.
