Stand (7)
The carriage stand consists of square tubes
welded together and equipped with necessary
corner reinforcements which ensure stability
while sawing.
The stand is equipped with two round guide rods
for the upward and downward movement of the
saw. The guides transfer the transverse forces of
the saw to the stand.
The lower section of the stand has four groove-
rimmed wheels journalled in bearings for stability
and even movement along the rail.
To prevent the carriage from lifting off the rails, it
is equipped with two adjustable guide wheels
(bearings), which run along the underside of the
rails.
Height adjustment
The saw unit is stabilised vertically by two
interacting threaded rods (6). The threaded rods
are united by a chain for exact and simultaneous
movement.
A crank (1) is located on the top end of one of
the rods, and is used to set the exact lumber
thickness.
One turn of the crank moves the saw blade 5
mm. The saw blade height over the rail cross
beams can be read on the scale (5).

18 Brake handle
19 Throttle stop
20 Throttle control
21 Stop control (emergency stop)
Saw blade wheel (28)
The saw blade runs across blade wheels, made
of cast aluminium and balanced for smooth
running. The saw blade wheels have bearings,
and are adjustable for tensioning and aligning
the saw blade.
The saw blade wheels are equipped with
scrapers, which prevent sawdust and the like
from collecting between the saw blade and the
blade wheels.
One of the saw blade wheels is driven across an
adjustable drive belt by the motor.
Saw blade (13) and blade guide
(12)
Two saw blade guides keep the saw blade
correctly positioned on the saw blade wheels
while the saw is in operation.
One of the saw blade guides is located in front of
the belt-driven saw blade wheel and ensures
correct blade entry onto the wheel.
The other saw blade guide is moveable and is
located above the the blade before it enters the
log. This guide absorbs the forces from the log
and prevents the blade from twisting.

Setting up the saw carriage
NOTE!
Do not place the saw carriage on the
rails or any other hard surface too
hastily. This can cause permanent
damage to the saw carriage bearings.
NOTE!
Do not place the saw carriage directly
on the ground where dirt and impurities
can come in contact with the saw
carriage wheels.
Place the saw carriage onto the rails, and posi-
tion it by carrying out the following:
1. Arrange for two persons, one on each side,
to take hold of the saw carriage. Lift the saw
carriage as follows:
Right side: At the crank for band tensioning
and under the blade wheel guard.
Left side: At the motor bar and the blade
wheel guard.
2. Lift the saw carriage and lower it carefully on
the rails. The grooved rim of the wheels at
the base of the carriage must fit over and rest
on the rails.
To adjust the position of the saw
carriage
The position of the saw carriage on the rails can
be adjusted when the guide wheels and rail
guards are mounted. The purpose of the guide
wheels (bearings) is to retain the saw carriage on
the rails and to prevent it from tilting. The rail
guards are designed to keep the rails and the
saw carriage wheels free of dirt and the like.
The following parts must be mounted on the saw
carriage:
• Two guide wheels (bearings)
• Four saw carriage rail guards.
To mount them, proceed as follows:
1. Fit the guide wheel mounting bracket in
position by means of screws. Hold a 0,2 mm
thick feeler gauge between the guide wheel
and the rail.
2. Press the guide wheel upward against the
rail and tighten screws of the guide wheel
mounting bracket to secure it in position.
Tightening torque: 40-50 Nm. Then remove
the feeler gauge.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 above when fitting the
other guide wheel.
4. Fit the four rail guards over each grooved-rim
wheel.
!WARNING!
