INSTALLATION
One-man sawmill with chain saw
engine
Adjusting the bar
The bar must be adjusted so that it is parallel with the
log bolsters and with the rails. This is done using the
nuts under the vibration damping plate. Set the bar so
that it is parallel with the rails by positioning a straight
ruler measuring approximately 1 m across the bar.
Then place a board between the log bolsters on the
rails. Adjust with the two inner adjustment nuts, so that
the distance between the board and the ruler is the
same. Using the nuts under the vibration damping
plate, the ruler (FIG. 35) can be adjusted so that it is
parallel (has the same dimensions at both ends).
Then adjust the bar so that it is parallel with the log
bolsters (FIG. 36). Adjust using the outer adjustment
nut until the distance between the log bolsters and the
bar is the same along the entire length of the bar. Then
tighten the locking nuts. Check the setting once more.
To achieve the optimum result, it is very important to
ensure that these settings are performed accurately.
This prevents the timber being at an angle or the bar
catching.

One-man sawmill with electric
motor
Checking the bar
On a one-man sawmill with electric motor, the
parallelism of the bar is set in the factory. To ensure
that this setting has not been altered during transport
and installation, the setting (FIG. 37) should be
checked when the sawmill has been installed in
accordance with the instructions for the one-man
sawmill with chain saw engine. Adjust the bar using
the adjustment screws on the console’s plastic guides.
