B1651 RAIL ASSEMBLY Start assembling the sawmill by mounting the rail. The rail sections are place under the saw head in the pallet. The assembly involves heavy lifting and requires two people. WARNING! Heavy lifting! Risk of injury. WARNING! Risk of crush injuries.
MOUNTING OF THE RAIL PIPES AND SUPPORT FEET When installing trailer kits and accessories that require fixed support legs: skip step 1 (see manual for the product in question). There are accessories for this machine that may affect the sequence of assembly in this manual. Read through the assembly instructions in the various manuals before starting work to get an overview of the different procedures.

B1651 MOUNTING OF THE PLATFORM & TOOLBOX 01-00957-SKP M6x12 01-00957 Please note the direction of the saw blade before mounting the platform. Lower the platform in place. Attach the bolts to its sides and back. The assembly is symmetrical around the platform.
MOUNTING OF THE OPERATOR PANEL Please note the direction of the saw blade before assembling the following steps. 01-00955-SKP M8x16 02-00564 Use the holes in the tube to position the operator panel at your desired height. It is recommend- ed to have it set just above your stomach. Using the holes above the seam allows free rotational movement of the operator panel.
MOUNTING OF THE RAIL AND GUIDEBAR Leave a distance between the bolt head and the nut. This distance should be 8-10 mm. 01-00960-SKP M8x16 The rail sections should be fitted so that they overlap each other. The last short rail section should be fitted the same way as the first one.

ADJUSTING THE RAIL Now aim and measure along the string to check that the distance between the string and the rail is consistent along its entire length. To adjust the straightness, move the rail pieces up or down where the straightness deviates. Place shims under the rail components so that you can control the height while tightening.
B1651 MOUNTING OF THE SAW HEAD ON THE CARRIAGE Steps 1-7 will be performed on both sides of the carriage simultaneously. WARNING! Heavy lifting. Risk of injury. Mount the shroud on the carriage, enter the pylon bushing from above and fasten it from the sides.

B1651 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. WARNING! Overturning hazard! Critical assembly. IMPORTANT! Take time to ensure that the saw carriage surrounds the rail.
MOUNTING OF THE SAW HEAD ON THE RAIL Lift the saw head into place on the rail. The saw head weighs 350 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. The anti-tip wheels must be mounted on the underside of the saw carriage when the saw head is mounted on the rail.
Page 45
B1651 Start by removing the flange nuts on the outside of the bogie tube. Leave the bolts where they are. They will be needed for installation later. Fit the wheels and the cogs to the anti-tip plate. 01-00977-DIV 01-01006 M10x40...

Fit the anti-tip plate on the bogie tube and use the existing nuts from step 1. Fit the rail cleaners by the ends of the bogie tube. 01-00977-DIV 03-01982 Tighten the anti-tip wheels by pushing them upwards in the inclined groove. Move them upwards so that they brace against the underside of the guide bar.

Tighten the supply chain manually as much as possible before it is mounted on the chain lock. 01-00958-SKP 01-00958-DIV M8x20 04-00443 (6.3x10x10mm) 03-02963 01-01006 03-03746 Repeat the steps 1-6 for the other side of the machine. Please note that the process will be mirrored.
B1651 MOUNTING OF THE FEEDING CABLE Insert the signal cable through the hole on the side of the rail pipe. Pull the signal cable through the rail pipe edge and up through the hole next to the operator panel. Hold the cable in place against the tube using velcro bands.
Page 52
Open the operator panel lid and enter the cable from below. Connect the signal cable to the console.
Page 53
B1651 Connect the other side of the signal cable to the cables hanging from on the side of the carriage. Connect the power cable.
INSTALLATION OF THE PETROL MOTOR: SEE 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. If you have an electric motor, it is already installed on your sawmill.
B1651 ORDER OF ADJUSTMENTS 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.
Page 56
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. Place a spirit level on a log bed, then adjust the rail using the feet until the rail is horizontal.
Page 57
B1651 Loosen the locking screw 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 58
Measurement Measurement ADJUST THE SAW BLADE PARALLEL TO THE LOG BEDS point 1 point 2 X mm X mm 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 59
B1651 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 down- wards using a screwdriver as illustrated.
Page 60
ADJUST THE FIXED BLADE GUIDE AND BLADE GUARD - LEFT SIDE When sawing smaller sized logs the blade guide on the left side of the machine needs to adjusted for better results. Remove the bolts at its top and front and move the blade guide to the inner hole section. Attach it with the same bolts you just removed.
Page 61
B1651 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 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, but instructions step by step as you work. they do not affect one another and so there is no need to implement them in any particular order.
B1651 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. Check the perpendicularity using a set square.
ENGINE INSPECTION BEFORE STARTING The engine must be filled with oil and refuelled before starting the sawmill for the first time. Place the saw head TIP: in the bottom position to make this job easier. Detailed Work with the saw information about the engine can be found in the engine’s user manual, which is supplied.
B1651 FIRST START-UP CALIBRATION The saw blade height position value must be calibrated at the first start-up. The computer setworks will show a value in the display at start-up. Measure the distance between the saw blade, on a downward-set tooth and a log bed.
You can find a more indepth description of how to use the Pro set and Pro feed in the Pro Set Computer Setworks Manual and Pro Feed Manual on the Logosol website. How To Start 1.
B1651 SAWMILL FEATURES LOG CLAMP The sawmill comes with two log clamps so that the log can be secured when sawing. The log clamp feature is eccentric. Start by adjusting the eccentric plate so that it rests against the log that is to be clamped. This is done by rotating the plate clockwise.
