CHECK SAWMILL/BLADES BEFORE OPERATION
DANGER! Make sure all guards and covers are in place and
secured before operating the sawmill. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury.
WARNING! Blade guide alignment is essential for optimal cutting

performance, blade life and safety. Failure to check and maintain
proper blade guide alignment will result in stress cracks forming in
the blade. These cracks will lead to premature blade breakage.
If the blade breaks during operation and the blade has multiple
stress cracks, the blade could shatter into several pieces and
escape from the protective guards of the sawmill. Small blade
pieces projected into the area around the sawmill creates a safety
hazard for the operator and any bystanders surrounding the mill.
WARNING! DO NOT use blades with stress cracks. Blades with

stress cracks can shatter causing bodily injury and/or machine
damage.
KEEP PERSONS AWAY
DANGER! Keep all persons out of the path of moving equipment

and logs when operating sawmill or loading and turning logs.
Failure to do so will result in serious injury.
DANGER! Always be sure all persons are out of the path of the
blade before starting the motor. Stop the motor immediately when
any person is nearby the sawmill. Failure to do so will result in
serious injury.
DANGER! To make access to the sawmill difficult for bystanders,

mount a fence around the machine. The fence should be 1.8 m
high and should be mounted at least 1.4 m away from the sawmill.
Safety 300doc100206 1-vi

Site Preparation 3
SECTION 3 SETUP
3.1 Site Preparation
IMPORTANT! This information is provided so that you may

! have your site prepared for installation of your electric
sawmill. In order to properly install your sawmill, you need
to:
1. Prepare a firm, level area where the sawmill can be anchored. There should be
enough room around the sawmill for operators, sawdust removal, log loading and board
removal. A cement pad with 1/2” diameter anchor bolts is recommended. The cement pad
should be rated to support 6350 lbs./sq.ft. at each sawmill foot position.
The design of your site layout should be determined at the time of purchase.
The sawmill is designed for indoor operation and should be fully protected from outdoor
elements.
2. Have a qualified electrician install the power supply before receipt of your sawmill.
The power supply should be installed as close to the machine as possible and must meet
the enclosed specifications concerning wire size, fused disconnect, and voltage.
The electrical installation must also meet local codes.

3 Replacing The Blade
3.3 Replacing The Blade
DANGER! Always shut off the sawmill motor before

changing the blade. Failure to do so will result in serious
injury.
WARNING! Always wear gloves and eye protection when

handling bandsaw blades. Changing blades is safest when
done by one person! Keep all other persons away from
area when coiling, carrying or changing a blade. Failure to
do so may result in serious injury.
Adjust the blade guide arm all the way open.
Open the two blade housing covers that cover the blade wheels. Turn the blade tension
handle to release the blade tension until the wheel is pulled in and the blade is lying loose
in the blade housing. Lift the blade out of the blade housing.
When installing a blade, make sure the teeth are pointing the correct direction. The teeth
should be pointing toward the vertical mast of the mill when you are looking at the blade
below the blade wheels. Install the blade so it is lying around the wheels.
CAUTION! Be careful when placing the blade between the

blade guide inserts. If the blade hits one of the inserts hard
enough, it could damage the insert.
Position 1 1/4" wide blades on the wheels so the gullet is 1/8” (3.0 mm) out from the front
edge of the wheel. Position 1 1/2" wide blades on the wheels so the gullet is 3/16”
(4.5 mm) out from the edge of the wheel.
Close the blade housing covers.
Next, turn the tension handle until the blade is tensioned correctly.

Tensioning The Blade 3
3.4 Tensioning The Blade
Before tensioning the blade, check the air pressure gauge to see that the air tension sys-
tem is properly charged. The gauge should read 50 PSI, i.e. .34 MPa (yellow colour) with
the blade tension completely released. To add air pressure, remove the air valve stem
cover and attach an air pump to the air valve. Add air until the gauge reads 50 PSI. To
release air, push in the valve stem. Replace the air valve stem cover when finished
adjusting the air pressure

sion handle as necessary to maintain the recommended tension level.
3.5 Tracking The Blade
1. Turn the key switch to the #2 position.
2. Manually spin one of the blade wheels until the blade positions itself on the blade wheels.
3. Check that if the blade is properly positioned on the blade wheels.
See Figure 3-2. Position 1 1/4” wide blades so the gullet is 1/8” (3.0 mm) out from the
front edge of the blade wheel (±1/16 [1.5 mm]). Position 1 1/2” blades so the gullet is
3/16” (4.5 mm) out from the edge of the blade wheel (±1/16 [1.5 mm]).

DANGER! Make sure all guards and covers are in place

and secured before operating or towing the sawmill. Failure
to do so may result in serious injury. Be sure the blade
housing and pulley covers are closed (i.e., the safety
switches located on them are engaged).
DANGER! Always be sure that all persons are out of the

path of the blade before starting the motor. Failure to do so
will result in serious injury.
WARNING! Always wear eye, ear, respiration, safety cloth-

ing, and foot protection when operating the sawmill. Failure
to do so may result in serious injury.
Before starting the machine be sure to perform the following:
be sure that all persons and any objects or machine parts are out of the path of the
saw head
check the blade tension
make sure all guards and covers are in place and are not damaged
be sure there is enough water in the water tank
be sure the dust extractor are on end works well
be sure there are not too much sawdust built-up on the sawmill parts.
SETUP doc100206 3-9

SETUP
3 Initial Control Programming
3.7 Initial Control Programming
After the sawmill is installed and ready to operate, the control should be programmed.
Reprogramming will also be required if the control CPU or transducer sensor is replaced.
To enter the initial programming mode, push and hold the MANUAL button for about 3
seconds (the power supply should be turned on, i.e. the key switch should be in the “1”
position). The SETTINGS menu will be displayed.
To exit the Settings menu, push and hold the Manual button for about 3 seconds again.
Using the top button on the right joystick, you can access the individual programmable
parameters in the following sequence:
Kerf (blade kerf value) > Bump Up (height by which the saw head raises after each cut) >
Max Head (upper saw head travel limit) > PF adjustment (power feed dial calibration).
To change their values, use the left joystick. Pushing this joystick forward (away from you)
will decrease the value; pulling it back (toward you) will increase the value.
3.7.1 Kerf Value
The kerf value setting can range from 0 to 10 mm. For standard Wood-Mizer blades, the
kerf value should be set to 2 - 3 mm. If it is set to 0 mm, the blade kerf size will not be
automatically added to the board thickness setting to compensate for the thickness of the
blade. Example: If you are using a 2-mm-thick blade and set the board thickness to 25
mm (the kerf is set to 0), you will get a 23-mm-thick board (25mm - 2mm = 23 mm).
3.7.2 Bump Up Height
The Bump Up parameter (height by which the saw head will raise after each cut) can be
set to a minimum of 3 mm and a maximum of 50 mm. Choose its value experimentally so
that “trouble-free” board removal is ensured. If the Bump Up setting is too high, the board
return fingers will not catch the board to drag it off when the saw head is being returned.
If it is too low, the board return fingers will catch both the board and the log, which can
result in damage to the board return mechanism or to the saw head.
Desired Bump Up values are usually in the range of 17 to 20 mm.

Max Head H (upper saw head travel limit) 3
See Figure 3-4.

ac_s002
FIG. 3-4
3.7.2 Max Head H (upper saw head travel limit)
The Max Head H (upper saw head travel limit) is programmable (from 100mm to 885mm,
the maximum height allowed by the length of the sawmill mast). This option is useful
when the area where the sawmill is installed does not have enough height clearance to
allow the saw head to travel to the top of the mast (to the height of 885 mm). In that case
the upper head travel limit can be set to a lower height to ensure smooth sawmill
operation.
3.7.3 PF adjustment (power feed dial calibration)
Calibration of the power feed dial is to set its range of operation, i.e. points of maximum
and minimum saw head speeds (how many degrees the dial has to be rotated through to
increase the saw head speed from the minimum to the maximum and vice versa).
This setting determines sensitivity of the dial.
SETUP doc100206 3-11

SETUP
3 PF adjustment (power feed dial calibration)
To calibrate the power feed dial, press the top button on the left joystick when
„PF Adjustment” has appeared on the display. „PF Min” message should be displayed.
Turn the power feed dial to a point where you want the saw head speed to be 0 (for this
position of the dial the head speed will be 0). Then push the top button on the left joystick
again. The display should now read „PF Max”. Place the dial at a point where you want
the head speed to be maximum and press the top button on the left joystick. If the
programmed range of dial operation is proper, „PF Set OK” will show on the display (the
dial has been calibrated correctly). This means the calibration is complete. If „PF Min/Max
Error” (calibration error) message is displayed, the programmed range of operation is too
small (the minimum speed value is too close to the maximum one) and the calibration
procedure has to be repeated. The range of dial operation is usually too small if the angle
of dial rotation is lower than 60 degrees.

4 Controlling The Sawmill
4.2 Controlling The Sawmill
LT70AC Remote sawmills are operated with the controls located on the front panel of the
control box. Most of the sawmill head and bed functions are performed with two joysticks
(left and right). The joysticks can work in two control modes:
Head Mode
Bed Mode.
In HEAD mode the joysticks control the following head functions: saw head up/down
operation and forward/reverse movement, blade guide arm in/out movement and Auto
Bump-Up function. In sawmills equipped with the debarker option, the right joystick can
also be used to move the debarker in or out.
In BED mode the joysticks can be used for log handling functions such as: log loading,
turning, clamping and levelling. Also, optional log handling equipment (e.g. log infeed
deck option) is operated in this control mode.
4.2.1 Performing Log Handling Functions
To perform any of the log handling functions, first check if the yellow BED light is lit. If this
light is on, the BED mode is active and you can operate all log handling functions. If it is
off, push the white HEAD/BED button.
The use of the joysticks for performing the bed functions can be divided into three groups:
Neither of the top buttons on the joysticks (neither on the left joystick nor on the right
one) is pressed (group No. 1).
Either of the joystick top buttons (left or right) has to be pressed and held
(group No. 2).
Both joystick top buttons have to be pressed and held (group No 3).

hold its top button. The saw head will approach the rubber stop at a low speed. This is
especially essential when sawing full-length logs.

Operation
4 Up/Down Operation
4.2.8 Up/Down Operation
In LT70AC Remote sawmills the upward/downward movement of the saw head can be
controlled manually (MANUAL mode) or automatically (REF/PAT/BED REF modes).
In MANUAL mode the operator must position the saw head for the first cut by pushing or
pulling and holding the left joystick. The joystick controls move the saw head up or down
until the joystick is released.
Manual Control
1. To activate MANUAL mode (manual control), push the while MANUAL button.
The button will illuminate.
MANUAL / 2. To move the saw head up or down to any height, push appropriately (toward you
SETTINGS
or away from you) and hold the left joystick.
Automatic Control
In AUTOMATIC control mode the saw head is quickly lowered or raised to the next
cutting positions. This considerably reduces the time needed to prepare the sawmill for
cutting the next board or cant.
There are two sawing methods that can be used to automatically cut preset sizes on the
LT70AC Remote sawmill:
REF MODE
The computer references a temporary position of the blade and automatically

moves the blade either up or down from that position the distance determined by the
selected BOARD THICKNESS dimension. This method is best used when sawing
a log into a cant and thickness of the last board is of no importance. When applying
this method of automatic sawing, a group of white buttons at the left of the display
(REF 1, REF 2 and REF LOCK) is used.
PATTERN AND BED REF MODES
The computer calculates all cuts for the active board thickness from the bed of the
sawmill. The blue PAT 1 and PAT 2 buttons, located at the right of the display,
activate a function allowing the operator to preset thickness of the board (cant) that
will remain on the sawmill bed after the last cut. This board can be of a thickness
different from other boards’. If the operator wants to get identically-thick boards

Operation
Programming board and cant thicknesses (possible only when REF1, REF2, PAT1, PAT2 or 4
(i.e. each board being cut, up to the last one, is of the same thickness), he can use
BED REF function (the blue BED REF button on the control panel).
4.2.9 Programming board and cant thicknesses (possible only when REF1,
REF2, PAT1, PAT2 or BED REF is enabled)
The operator can program several thicknesses of boards and cants that will be used most
frequently when sawing in automatic mode (REF1, REF2, PAT1, PAT2, BED REF
functions).
See Figure 4-10. The control includes five buttons and MEMORY BANK button that can
be used to program board thicknesses. These buttons are: three yellow BOARD THICK-
NESS buttons, located under the display, as well as the blue PAT 1 and PAT 2 buttons
and MEMORY BANK button, located at the right of the display. When you are using PAT1
or PAT 2 function, the selected PAT1 or PAT2 button indicates thickness of the lowest
dimension (cant) the saw will cut. Board thicknesses that will be used until you get this
dimension can be programmed under Board Thickness buttons only. After pushing the
Board Thickness button that stores a desired board thickness, the light located under
this button comes on. When REF1, REF2 or REF LOCK function is on and you select
either of PAT buttons, with a pre-programmed board thickness, this button will illumi-
nate. The active board thickness is always shown on the display. To switch between the
pre-programmed board thicknesses, use the top button on the right joystick. By press-
ing the MEMORY BANK button you can switch between memory banks (4).

Each of these values can be changed at any time. To do this:
1. Push and hold the top button on the right joystick for about 3 seconds.

2. You will enter the Setup function (Edit Mode).
3. Push the top button on the right joystick (end MEMORY BANK button if desired) as many
times as necessary to access the board thickness (storage cell) you want to change.
When PAT1 or PAT2 is active, you can use this button also to switch between Cant
thicknessses in the following sequence: Board1, Board2, Board3, Cant1, Cant2.
4. Pulling the left joystick toward you or pushing it away from you, you can increase
or decrease the board thickness setting in 1mm increments. When you hold this joystick
for about 2 seconds after pushing it in the appropriate direction, the board thickness value
will be increasing or decreasing continuously (fast).
5. Push and hold the top-right joystick button again for about 3 seconds to exit the Setup
function (Edit Mode). From now on the modified board thickness value is stored in the
computer memory.

Operation
4 REF functions (temporary referencing the blade location)
4.2.11 REF functions (temporary referencing the blade location)
REF1 and REF2 functions, as mentioned ealier in this section, are typically used when
sawing a log down to a cant, i.e., until all four sides of the log are flat.
With a new log loaded and clamped in position on the sawmill bed, press the white
HEAD/BED button to activate HEAD mode. The yellow HEAD light will come on.
The joysticks can now be used to control all saw head functions.
Then push the white MANUAL button to turn Manual mode on (manual saw head control).
The button will illuminate.
Using the left joystick, position the saw head at the height where you want to make the
first cut on the first side of the log.
Instead of the MANUAL button, you can press REF1 or REF2 button (REF LOCK
disabled) to position the blade for the first cut on a given side of the log.
NOTE: Do not use the MANUAL button after making cuts on the first two sides
of the log; this will clear all stored references.

SIDE 1 this position when raising or lowering the
saw head for the next cut.
START Press the START/STOP button to turn the blade motor on. Then make the first cut.
To do this, pull the right joystick toward you. While making the cut, adjust the blade speed
STOP
by turning the feed rate dial located at the left of the control box.
As soon as the blade exits the log and the board return fingers drop down at the end
of the log, press the top button on the left joystick (BUMP UP button). This will raise the
saw head to a height allowing to drag the board/slab off when the head is being returned.
If you want the saw head to be raised higher, press the top-left joystick button two or more
times. The BUMP UP height (a distance by which the saw head can be automatically
raised after each cut) can be adjusted in the Settings menu (initial programming mode)
(See Section 3.7.2).
NOTE: If the slab is too small to drag back, pull the left joystick toward you to raise the

Operation
REF functions (temporary referencing the blade location) 4
blade over the slab. Once the blade is above the slab, release the joystick then pull it
back again and release. (The display should read “ABORT!!! ABORT!!!”.) This will abort
the control before it reaches the next programmed target, preventing it from replacing the
stored position of the blade during the last cut.
Pushing the right joystick away from you, return the saw head. The board will be dragged
off the log and thrown onto the incline conveyor (if the machine is equipped with this
sawmill option). Before you make the next cut, select the board thickness dimension.
Use the top-right joystick button to seach for the desired board thickness. If you do not
find the desired board thickness dimension, reprogram any of the stored board
thicknesses (See Section 4.2.9).
After selecting the board thickness for the next cut, push the left joystick momentarily
away from you (you do not need to hold the joystick until the head reaches the desired
position). The saw head will automatically lower for the next cut.
Make cuts as desired until you are ready to turn the log.
After making the desired number of cuts

NESS 1 press the HEAD/BED button to place the
joystick controls in BED mode. Using the

the log has been positioned on the bed
REF 2 and is ready for the first cut, activate the
Head mode again with the HEAD/BED
SIDE 2 button (the HEAD light will come on
again). Once you press this button,
REF1 and REF LOCK functions will turn on again (since they were active when HEAD
mode was switched to BED mode). To position “manually” the saw head for the first cut
on the second side of the log, you have to disable the REF LOCK function. To do
this, press the REF LOCK button. The REF LOCK button light will go out. (The
REF1 function is still turned on; the REF1 button is still illuminating). Now, using the left
joystick, you can position the blade at the height where you want to make the first cut on
the second side of the log. Please remember to activate the REF LOCK function again
after positioning the blade for the first cut. This will store the current blade position in the
computer memory and the next cut will be calculated from this position, determined by the
selected board thickness dimension. To make cuts on the second side of the log, repeat
the steps used to cut the first side of the log, until you are ready to turn the log.

Using the right joystick, position the
REF 2
blade for the first cut on the fourth side of
SIDE 4 the log. Then push the REF LOCK
button and again the REF2 button
(the REF2 button light will start flashing).
Once you press these buttons, the current blade height (at which the first cut will be
made) is stored in the computer memory. The computer remembers also the height of the
last cut made on the previous (third) side of the log (this information is stored under the
REF1 button). This allows automatic positioning of the blade for the first cut when the log
is turned again (for the fourth time). The operator will not have to “manually” (i.e. in
Manual mode) set the blade at the first cutting height.
Make cuts on the fourth side of the log until you reach the desired cant. Use the same
procedure as for cutting on the previous sides (except that, REF2 should be used instead
of REF1).
After the log has been squared, turn the cant and position it on the sawmill bed. Then
activate HEAD mode (the yellow HEAD light will come on) and push the REF1 button
twice (the button will start flashing). The REF LOCK function will turn on automatically
(the REF LOCK button will illuminate). The display will show (in the fourth line) the blade
height at which the last cut on the third side of the log was made, i.e. the last cutting
height in REF1. When you use the left joystick appropriately, the saw head will
automatically position for the next desired cut referenced from the last cut made in REF1
(NEXT CUT function). If you push the left joystick forward and hold it in this position,
the saw head will be lowering until the joystick is released. If you release the left joystick
when the blade is below the desired cutting height, the saw head will automatically raise
until this height is reached.

Operation
NOTE:
The fact that the saw head stops and starts moving in a reverse direction after releasing
the joystick, with the NEXT CUT function on (REF1 or REF2 light is flashing, REF LOCK
light is illuminating), is often considered a fault by operators. For example, if, having
pushed the joystick forward and having held it in that position, you release the joystick,
the saw head will stop and then start raising. It is not a fault as the saw head, with NEXT
CUT on, is always moved to the next cutting height regardless of its current position.
See Figure 4-12. If you push the left joystick away from you, with the blade being above
the next cutting height, the saw head will automatically lower for the next cut the distance
determined by the selected board thickness dimension and calculated from the last
cutting position in REF1. Pulling the left joystick back, i.e. toward you, with the blade
being below the next cutting height, will raise the saw head to this height.

After turning the cant again and levelling it on the sawmill bed, activate HEAD mode
again and press the REF2 button twice (the button light will start flashing). The REF
LOCK function will turn on automatically (the REF LOCK button will illuminate). When you
push the left joystick appropriately, the saw head will automatically position for the next
cut referenced from the last cut made in REF2 (determined by the selected board
thickness).
When REF LOCK is enabled (REF1 or REF2 is activated), two functions can actually be
performed. One of them is the NEXT CUT function explained above (it is active when the
REF1 or the REF2 button is flashing). The other function can be enabled by pushing the
flashing REF1 or REF2 button again, or by pushing the REF LOCK button with the NEXT
CUT function activated. When it is active, the lights of REF LOCK and REF1 or REF2
buttons are on steady state. See the example below for an explanation of how this
function works.

Operation
See Figure 4-13. Example: The saw head is at the height of 300 mm, the REF1 and REF
LOCK functions are turned on (REF1 and REF LOCK lights are on steady state,
the display reads: „Ref 1 Lock 300mm”). The selected board thickness is 50 mm
(the display reads: „Board 1 50mm”).
Push the left joystick away from you and hold it. As long as the left joystick is engaged,
the saw head will be moving down. When you release the joystick, the saw head will
move to the nearest (below the height at which the joystick was released) multiple of the

selected board thickness calculated from the last cutting position in REF1. In this
example the left joystick was released when the saw head was at the height of 180 mm.
Therefore, the saw head will stop at the height of 150 mm (to make the explanation
clearer we assume that the blade kerf is O). If you pull the left joystick toward you and
hold it, the saw head will be moving up. When you, for example, release the joystick at
the height of 420 mm, the saw head will raise to the height of 450 mm (as this is the
nearest - above the height of 420 mm - multiple of 50 mm, calculated from the stored
REF1 height).

Operation
4 PAT and BED REF (referencing the blade position from the bed surface)
4.2.14 PAT and BED REF (referencing the blade position from the bed surface)
The PAT and BED REF functions are typically used after the log has been squared,
i.e., for cutting a cant. The PAT functions (PAT1 and PAT2) allow to program the lowest
dimension the saw will cut (i.e. thickness of the board that will remain on the sawmill bed
after the last cut). The operator can use one of these functions when this lowest
dimension is to be different than thicknesses of the remaining boards (e.g. the bottom
board is to be 40 mm thick, and the remaining boards 25 mm thick). The BED REF
function allows to cut identically-thick boards.
Two sawing options can be performed when using PAT or BED REF function, as in the
case of REF functions. Pushing PAT1, PAT2 or BED REF button once will activate the
option of moving the saw head to a multiple of the selected board thickness dimension
(the button light will be on steady state). When you press any of these buttons again, the
NEXT CUT option (that is used most frequently) will be turned on (the button light will be
flashing). See the description of REF functions above.
PAT1and PAT 2 functions
PAT1 and PAT2 functions work identically except that the bottom board (Cant) is
of a different programmed thickness. For example, you can program 100-mm-thick
bottom board under PAT1 and 200-mm-thick board under PAT2.
To enable PAT1/PAT2 function, push the blue PAT1/PAT2 button located at the right of the
display. Pressing the PAT1/PAT2 button once (the button light is on steady state),
activates the option of moving the saw head to a multiple of the selected board thickness
dimension (see the description of this option in REF). If you press the PAT1/PAT2 button
again (the button light is flashing), the NEXT CUT option will be turned on. When you
push the left joystick momentarily toward you or away from you, the saw head will move
to the nearest height from which the number of boards that will be cut from the cant,
including the board that will remain on the bed, will be a whole number. After making the
first cut (if the NEXT CUT function is turned on - PAT1/PAT2 button is flashing), the saw
head will be raised or lowered the distance determined by the selected board thickness,
until you get the programmed bottom board. The saw head may not lower below the
programmed lowest dimension (thickness of the bottom board). See a SIMPLIFIED
example of sawing a cant in PAT mode below.

Operation
PAT and BED REF (referencing the blade position from the bed surface) 4
See Figure 4-15. Example: In this example the blade kerf is 0. You are sawing
30-mm-thick boards from a 500-mm-thick (high) cant and want to finish with
a 100-mm-thick cant. The saw head is at the height of 510mm.
First activate MANUAL mode (the MANUAL button will illuminate). Using the left joystick,
position the saw head at the height where you want to make the first cut. In most cases
this location will be close to the height of the cant that will be cut. In this example it is
510mm. Then activate PAT1 (or PAT2) function by pressing twice the PAT1 (or PAT2)
button (the PAT1/PAT2 button is flashing; NEXT CUT is turned on). Push the left joystick
away from you momentarily. The saw head will move to the height of 490mm as this is the
nearest height from which you can get a whole number of 30 mm thick boards plus
a 100-mm-thick cant. The first board will be 10mm thick. It is because it is not possible to
cut only 30-mm-thick boards from a 500-mm-thick cant if you want to finish with
a 100- mm-thick bottom board. The last possible cutting height in this example is 100 mm
(since the preset bottom board thickness is 100 mm).

(e.g. from 35 mm to 25 mm), it may be nessesary to make a corrective cut. This means
that the first board cut after changing this dimension will be of a different thickness
(10 mm in this example). The next boards will be of the desired thickness (25 mm).
BED REF
The BED REF function works similarly to the PAT1 and PAT2 functions. The only
difference is that all boards cut in BED REF are of the same thickness whereas in Pat1
and PAT2 the last board (i.e. the board remaining on the sawmill bed after the last cut)
can be of thickness different from other boards’.
In BED REF mode you can use up to five pre-programmed board thicknesses (they are
stored under the Board Thickness buttons as well as the PAT1 and PAT2 buttons).
In PAT mode the PAT1 and PAT2 buttons store thicknesses of the lowest dimension that
saw will cut. Only Board Thickness buttons can be used to program thicknesses of the
boards that will be cut until you get this lowest dimension.

of the block is adjusted properly to the blade. At this point, the block should be replaced.
If you have access to the appropriate equipment, you can grind or mill the blocks to a new
flat surface and reuse them. It is recommended you develop a routine schedule for
replacing the blade guide blocks based on your sawing conditions and experience.

to premature blade breakage. If the blade breaks during
operation and the blade has multiple stress cracks, the
blade could shatter into several pieces and escape from the
protective guards of the sawmill. Small blade pieces
projected into the area around the sawmill creates a safety
hazard for the operator and any bystanders surrounding the
mill.
WARNING! DO NOT use blades with stress cracks. Blades

with stress cracks can shatter causing bodily injury and/or
machine damage.
Make sure the blade screw in the top center of the C-frame is 1/16" (1.5 mm) away from
the blade. If not, loosen the nut and adjust the screw as necessary. Check the screw
every blade change. Failing to maintain this adjustment will lead to early blade breakage.

remove sawdust buildup in and around the power feed belt and pulleys. Replace the
power feed belt cover.

Maintenance
Carriage Track, Wiper & Scrapers 5
5.4 Carriage Track, Wiper & Scrapers
Properly maintaining the sawmill carriage track is critical in preventing corrosion that can
cause pitting and scaling on the rail surfaces. Pitted and scaled surfaces can, in turn,
cause rough cuts or jerky power feed movement.
See Figure 5-3.
1. Clean track rails to remove any sawdust and sap buildup every eight hours of operation.
8
Use a light-grade sandpaper to sand off any rust or other adhering particles from the rails.
CAUTION! Keep track rails free of rust. Formation of rust

on the track rail in the areas where the cam bearings roll
can cause rapid deterioration of the track rail's surface.
Lubricate the rails by wiping them with Dexron III ATF transmission fluid, 10W30 motor
oil, or 3-in-1 turbine oil. Oil lubrication will help protect the rails from corrosive elements
such as acid rain and/or moisture from nearby bodies of saltwater (if applicable). This
lubrication is essential to maintain the integrity of the track rails and track rollers and to
achieve long service life.
2. Remove sawdust from the track roller housings and lubricate the felt track wiper every
25 twenty-five hours of operation.
Remove the track roller housing covers and brush any sawdust buildup from the
housings.
Clean and lubricate the felt track wiper. Unbolt the middle track cover, remove from the
sawmill and remove any sawdust buildup. Soak the felt wiper with Dexron III transmission
fluid, 10W30 motor oil or 3-in-1 turbine oil.
CAUTION! Reinstall the track wiper so that it lightly touches

the track rail. If the wiper presses too firmly against the rail,
it can cause the power feed to bind.
3. Check the track scrapers as needed. Make sure the scrapers fit firmly against the rail.
AR If a track scraper needs to be adjusted, loosen the thumb screw, push the scraper
downward until it fits firmly against the rail, and retighten the thumb screw.

5.8 Hydraulic System
1. Check the hydraulic fluid level every fifty hours of operation. Add fluid as necessary.
50 The level in the hydraulic pump should be 3/4" (19mm) from the top with all cylinders
collapsed.
If humidity is a problem or the mill is used outside in humid weather, drain and replace two
quarts (.95 liters) of fluid every six months. This will drain any accumulated water and
help prevent pump failure due to water ingestion. It also will prevent excessive fluid wear
and allow the fluid to maintain its hot end performance. If humidity is not a problem, drain
and replace one gallon (3.8 liters) of fluid every year to prevent fluid wear.
See Figure 5-5. If you are operating in temperatures -20° to 100° F (-29° to 38° C), use
an all-weather hydraulic fluid such as Exxon Univis J26. For alternate fluids and/or other
temperature ranges, refer to the chart below. Operating above the recommended
temperature range of a fluid could result in premature pump wear. Operating below the
recommended temperature range could cause the fluid to thicken and could result in
reduced hydraulic cylinder speed. To replace the current fluid with fluid of another type,
drain the old fluid and refill the tank with about 1 gallon (4 liters) of the new fluid.

Activate BED mode (See Section 4.2.1 Performing Log Handling Functions). Then
engage any of the log handling units except for the log turner. Wait until the cylinder is all
the way out. When the cylinder is in this position, the hydraulic pressure will start
increasing and the pressure relief valve will open. With the relief valve opened, check the
hydraulic pressure shown on the hydraulic pressure gauge and adjust it if necessary. The
hydraulic pressure is factory-set at 2200 psi (15,17 MPa) and should not need to be
readjusted. The relief valve adjustment bolt shown may be used to fine-tune the hydraulic
pressure:
Remove the adjustment bolt nut. Turn the adjustment bolt clockwise to increase the
pressure or counterclockwise to decrease the pressure.
CAUTION! Pressure should not exceed 2200 psi (15,17

MPa). If it does, temperatures of the hydraulic pump motor
and hydraulic fluid will rise. This may result in fluid
overheating and may cause damage to the hydraulic
cylinders and hoses.

Routine Alignment Procedure 7
SECTION 7 SAWMILL ALIGNMENT
The Wood-Mizer sawmill is factory aligned. Two alignment procedures are available to
realign the sawmill if necessary. The Routine Alignment instructions should be performed
as necessary to solve sawing problems not related to blade performance. The Complete
Alignment procedure should be performed approximately every 1500 hours of operation
(sooner if you regularly transport the sawmill over rough terrain).
WARNING! Always wear eye, ear, respiration and foot protection

as well as safety clothing when servicing the sawmill.
7.1 Routine Alignment Procedure
Blade Installation And Tracking
1. Remove the blade and check the blade wheels. Remove any sawdust buildup from the
surface of the wheels.
2. Install a clean blade and apply the appropriate tension (See Section 3.4).
3. Check that the blade guides are properly adjusted (See Section Blade Guides).
4. Adjust the horizontal tilt of the idle-side blade wheel to track the blade (See Section 3.5).
5. Close the blade housing covers and make sure all persons are clear of the saw head.
7. Manually spin one of the blade wheels until the blade positions itself on the blade wheels.

Blade Installation And Tracking
1. Remove the blade and replace the blade wheel belts. New blade wheel belts are required
to perform the complete alignment procedure.
2. Blow sawdust off of the blade guide assemblies. Remove sawdust from the blade
housings. Scrape any sawdust buildup from the blade wheel rims.
3. Remove the blade guide assemblies and the blade.
NOTE: To remove the blade guide assemblies and

maintain the tilt adjustments, only loosen one side screw
and the top screw. Leaving the other side screw and bottom
screw in position will insure you will return the rollers to their
original tilt adjustment.
4. Adjust the outer blade guide arm in or out until the outer blade guide is approximately 24”
(61 cm) from the inner blade guide
5. Install a new blade and apply the appropriate tension (See Section 3.4).
6. Turn the key switch to the "M" position.
7. Manually spin one of the blade wheels until the blade positions itself on the wheels.
DANGER! Always shut off the sawmill motor before

replacing the blade. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury.
WARNING! Always wear gloves and eye protection when

handling bandsaw blades. Changing blades is safest when
done by one person! Keep all other persons away from
area when coiling, carrying or changing a blade. Failure to
do so may result in serious injury.

7 Blade Guide Installation
Blade Guide Installation
Each Wood-Mizer sawmill has two blade guide assemblies that help the blade maintain
a straight cut. The two blade guide assemblies are positioned on the saw head to guide
the blade on each side of the material being cut.
One blade guide assembly is mounted in a stationary position on the drive side of the saw
head. This assembly is referred to as the "inner" blade guide assembly.
The other blade guide assembly is mounted on the idle side of the saw head. It is referred
to as the "outer" assembly and is adjustable for various widths of materials to be
processed.
NOTE: Before installing the blade guide assemblies,

remove the blade guide adjusting screws and apply
a lubricating oil meeting the SAE viscosity standard
(e.g. 10W30 or Dexron III) to each screw. This will prevent
the screws and threaded holes from corroding and make
screw adjustments easier.
1. Inspect the guide disks and repair or replace as necessary. Remove the blade from the
sawmill.
See Figure 7-23.

Blade Guide Arm Alignment
The blade guide arm moves the outer blade guide in and out. If the arm becomes loose,
the blade guide will not deflect the blade properly, causing inaccurate cuts. A loose blade
guide arm can also cause blade vibration.
1. Adjust the blade guide arm in to 1/2" (15 mm) from fully closed.
2. Manually try to move the arm up or down. If you can move the arm by hand, you will need
to tighten the arm rollers.
