Three-phase electric chain saw

Thank you for choosing a LOGOSOL product.
ln 1988, LOGOSOL began making the mini-sawmill, marking the beginning of a steadily
developing product program for small-scale woodworking. Our broad range of machines and
accessories enables you to handle the entire job yourself - from felling to the finished product,
and includes such tools as chain saws, extensions for long and extra-large logs, timbering
accessory, protective equipment and accessories for log handling.
LOGOSOL even manufactures cutting equipment for larger sawmills, such as TOPPKL
YVEN, a cutting device mounted over the saw blade, and MARGKL YVEN, which splits larger
logs before they enter the sawmill. LOGOSOL can also custom design machinery needed to
cut large units such as plastic pipes, paper bales and lumber bundles.
Other products include the SH 230, a combination plane and building saw which cuts board
height and width in a single step. In addition, there is the PH 200, a larger machine designed
to plane or shape three board sides simultaneously.

Safety rules
•The LOGOSOL E 5000 may only be
used for cross cutting in combination
with the LOGOSOL mini-saw mill.
Incorrect use can cause severe
injury. Always concentrate fully and
work carefully with the sawing unit.
•Attach support legs under the saw
mill guide rail before you attach the
sawing unit. Otherwise the saw mill
may tip over when there is no load
on the log bed.
•Do not wear loose clothing, scarves
and the like which can get caught in
the saw.
•Always check that the saw is solidly
fitted on the guide rail before
plugging in the cable. ln order to
prevent the saw from pitching off the
guide rail when started, ensure that
both plastic strips attach firmly to the
guide rail flange.
•Check that the electric cable runs
free along the entire sawing bed. Do
not step on the cable.
•Turn the saw off after each cut.
•in order to prevent unauthorized
use, never leave the saw
unattended when plugged in.
•Pull the plug out
- before replacing, adjusting and
cleaning the chain, or carrying
out any other maintenance.
- before touching any moving
parts.
- before removing the saw from
the sawmill.
For your own safety, read ail
safety precautions carefully
and do not start the machine
before you have understood
ail of them. Do not allow
persons who have not read
the safety instructions to
operate the machine. You
should also read the
instruction manuals for the
LOGOSOL sawmill.
Use approved hearing
protection and safety glasses.
Even short exposures to high
frequency sounds can
damage your hearing.
Use gloves when you work
with the chain, as there is a
danger of cutting yourself.
Rotating saw chain: do not
insert fingers under the chain
protective cover or past the
sawmill guide rail. Always
stand behind the control arm
while sawing

Assembly
Fit the control arm to the electric saw using four M6x20 bolts and nuts. First loosen the
protective yoke. Then place the control arm in position and push two bolts through the
protective yoke, the control arm and its mount, tightening the nut on the inside. Use two more
bolts to fasten the other side of the control arm. To tighten, use two 10 mm cap keys.
Fit the junction box at the end of the control arm, using a Phillips driver.
Fit the protective bail to the protective yoke as shown above. Use two M6x40 bolts and nuts
and tighten using two 10 mm cap keys.
Starting at the line winder, thread the feed line through the pulley and on through the hole in
the bearing housing. Then tie a knot in the line end to fasten it in the log dog.
Move the attachment for the feed line on the
saw mililog dog. Replace the rear M6x16 bolt
holding the slide with a longer M6x25 fitted with
a sleeve as shown below. The feed line should
run straight back to the bearing housing

Assembling bar and chain
First check that the unit is unplugged. Then remove the bar nuts and the bar plate. Fit the bar
and chain and return the bar plate to its place.
Check that the bar abuts the spacers and isn't caught on wood chips or the guiding flange for
the pin bolts. Check also that the chain runs correctly and that it lies ail the way around the
drive gear.
The chain is tensioned by pulling the bar outwards by hand as the bar bolts are tightened. If
this is not enough, use a screwdriver as a lever by inserting it in the hole in the bar, levering
outwards carefully as the bolts are tightened.
If it is not possible to pull a whole chain tooth out of the bar using the index finger and the
thumb, the chain is too tight. A chain that is too tight will increase wear on both chain and bar.

Chain lubrication
Because of the large motor effect, the oil pump is set at maximum when the chain saw is
delivered. While the oil flow can be reduced, remember that there is only a quarter turn
between max. and min. settings.
Never run the saw without chain oil. Should the oil flow be broken, the chain will soon be
damaged. Once the lubrication system is empty, it takes 30 seconds before oil once more
reaches the chain.
Do not allow the cutting equipment to overheat du ring operation.
After some use, the color on the bar will flake off, revealing the blue colored, induction
tempered wearing surface. This is normal and not a sign of unusual wear.
It is absolutely essential that you use a high quality oil, one with excellent lubrication
characteristics and good adhesion. Oil lacking the latter will tend to be thrown off at the bar tip
rather than staying on the chain.
You can test the adhesion of your oil yourself by placing a drop between the index finger and
the thumb, pressing them together for a few seconds and then drawing them apart slowly. At
about 3-4 cm, there should be a thick web of oil threads between the fingers.

Frame support
Fit the support legs to the ends of the saw mill guide rail as shown above. If the ground is
loose, the saw mill and the struts ought to be attached to a wooden frame in order not to sink
into the earth.
Adjust the leg length by loosening the nut in the guide rail and turning the leg. The legs should
neither pull down nor push up on the guide rail, only holding it firmly in its unloaded position.
For older model saw mills you wilI have to drill the leg fastening hole yourself. ( Model
purchased before September 1995)

Electric system
The motor is fitted with a thermal overheating cut-off. Should the temperature in the motor
winding be too high, the motor will stop and will not start again until it has cooled off.
The chain should run counter-clockwise or towards the sawing unit on the cutting side of the
bar. If at delivery or after cable replacement, the motor runs in the wrong direction, reverse it
by turning the phase inverter (two pins on a white plastic disk) in the saw electric connection
using a large, flat screwdriver.
Always use as short a power feed cable as possible in order to avoid voltage drops. Normal
cable conductor area must be at least 2.5 mm2. However, should a cable exceeding 50 m in
length be required, the conductor area must be at least 4 mm2. Too low voltage can lead to
diminished motor effect and damage to the electrical equipment.
Only persons with the proper credentials should make repairs or adjustments to the electrical
equipment, as a wrong connection can endanger lives. Be sure the machine is unplugged
before carrying out any work on the electrical system.

Cutting equipment
Because of the high motor effect, it is essential to stop sawing if the chain gets dull. It only
takes a few seconds of work with a dull chain to cause heavy wear on the bar and to overheat
the chain, making it impossible to sharpen it again.
A practical step is to have several freshly filed chains on hand before beginning work. This
way you can replace a dull chain as needed without dismantling the saw. An alternate method
is to have a folding chain file stand available.
Remember that different chain types cause different wear on the drive gear. Using a new
Picco-chain on a worn drive gear increases the risk for chain breakage. The same is true if a
Picco-chain is used with a drive gear previously used with a standard chain. ln order to
reduce the chain breakage risk, always change drive gear when you change chain type.
A good solution is to buy a complete cutting set consisting of a drive gear, a bar and four
chains. If you then rotate the chains frequently and turn the bar each time you change chain,
the whole package will wear evenly. The procedure will also ensure that the equipment will
last longer.
Replacing the drive gear: Remove the bar nuts. Lift off the cover plate and the cutting
equipment. Remove the plastic cap on the top nut and remove it using a 17 mm cap key.
Grasping the drive belt under the saw, lift out the oil pump drive gear. Do not use tools that
can damage the equipment. Be sure you turn the flange on the oil pump drive gear
downwards when you reassemble the saw.

Maintenance
The electric saw is simple to take care of. The maintenance required is listed below. Be sure
the machine is voltage free before you take it from the guide rail or do any work in the vicinity
of moving parts.
•Make sure that there is always chain oil in the container when sawing.
•Remove chips and filings that may be stuck in the chip ejector.
•Make sure there are no chips between the spacers and the bar du ring assembly.
•Check that the feed line runs correctly around the pulley and onto the line winder.
•Chips can fill the line hole at the gear housing. This can be prevented by making a
simple knot in the line at the log-dog. This knot will then clean the hole out at each eut.
•It is important that the line and winder function easily so that the saw can be pulled
back smoothly. Lubricate the plastic gears with silicon spray.
•Make sure the slide does not get clogged with chips. If needed, clean it out with a flat
screw driver. You should also lubricate the sliding rails with silicon spray or something
similar.
•While the E 5000 can stand rain and moisture, if you aren't using the saw, it should be
covered over or kept indoors.
Belt tension
Under normal use, the Poly V-belt should last for may years. However, after some use, it may
need to be tensioned in order to prevent slipping under use. For the longest working life
possible, the belt should be tightened only until it engages.
Instructions: Tip the saw on its side and loosen the gear bolts on the underside. Use a 6 mm
hex-wrench to loosen them about one turn. Then adjust the belt tension using the setting boit
resting against the gear housing. Finish by retightening the gear bolts weil.
