THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING A LOGOSOL MACHINE!
Read through the user manual carefully
and make sure you understand its contents
before you use the machine.
This user manual contains important safety
instructions.
WARNING! Incorrect use can result in
serious or fatal injuries to the operator or
others.
We are very pleased that you have demonstrated your condence in us by purchasing this
sawmill, and we will do our utmost to meet your expectations.
Logosol has been manufacturing sawmills since 1989. In that time we have supplied
approximately 50,000 machines to satised customers the world over.
We care about your safety as well as we want you to achieve the best possible results with your
sawmill. We therefore recommend that you take the time to carefully read this user manual from
cover to cover in peace and quiet before you begin using the saw. Remember that the machine
itself is just part of the value of the product. Much of the value is also to be found in the expertise
we pass on to you in the user manuals. It would be a pity if that were not utilised.
We hope you get a lot of satisfaction from the use of your new machine.

• Read carefully through the entire user manual
before starting to operate the Logosol F2+.
Failure to observe these safety instructions may
result in fatal injuries.
• Make sure that everyone who uses the sawmill
is well informed of the dangers and has read
the user manual. The user manual shall always
be available to the persons working with the
sawmill. This also applies where the sawmill is
sold or loaned out.
• Read the manual and safety instructions for the
saw unit used on the sawmill.
• Minors under 18 years of age are not allowed to
operate the sawmill.
• Make sure that children and animals are not in
the vicinity when the sawmill is being operated.
• Respect the safety distances to avoid injury from
high noise levels and from chain thrown-off
in the direction of the guide bar if the chain
breaks.
• Anyone working with the sawmill must be
t for work, healthy and in good physical
condition. Make sure you take regular breaks
when operating the machine. Never operate the
machine while under the inuence of alcohol,
narcotics or other drugs or medicines that can
cause drowsiness or inattention.
• The Logosol F2+ is only to be operated where
visibility is good. It is not to be operated in the
dark or where visibility is poor.
• Make sure there are other persons within
earshot who you can summon if you need help.
• Only add extra equipment to the sawmill
that is made by Logosol or that is specically
approved by Logosol for the purpose. Other
equipment can cause accidents and should not
be used. Logosol will not accept liability for
personal injury or material damage that occurs
while using non-approved attachments on the
sawmill.
• If the saw unit used weighs more than 15 kg,
support legs must be tted under the guide rail
ends. Risk of overturning.
• Always wear protective clothing and use
personal protective equipment: Never operate
the sawmill wearing loose-tting clothes, overall
coats or similar.
• Use safety shoes with high-grip soles and steel
toecaps. Neckerchiefs, ties, jewellery or other
items that can get caught in the equipment are
not to be worn.
• Never stretch over or under the guide rail when
the sawmill is in operation. Rotating cutting
equipment. Risk of cut injuries!
• Wear strong protective gloves. Risk of cut
injuries when handling the guide bar and the
saw chain. Cutting equipment can also be hot
immediately after sawing.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Key to symbols
For your own safety, read through the entire
user manual carefully and do not start
the machine before you have understood
everything.
Use approved ear protectors and protective
eyewear. Hearing can be damaged even
after short periods of exposure.
Sharp rotating tools. Make sure that your
ngers never come near the cutting tools.
This symbol means ’WARNING’. Pay
particular attention where this symbol
appears in the manual text.
This symbol is followed by instructions that
must be observed. Pay particular attention
where this symbol appears in the manual
text.
When this symbol appears, only tighten
the bolts such that they can still move.
When there is no symbol, tighten the
bolts rmly.

Safety distances
Respect the safety distances. The safety
distance is 8 m for the operator and 15 m
for persons other than the operator. The
illustration below shows the sawmill
from above. The operator is to remain
within the area marked with a dashed
line (- - - -) when the saw is in operation.
The operator is not to stretch over
the guide rail when the sawmill is in
operation.
Operator’s area during operation.
When using a petrol-driven chainsaw
Fire risk. Turn off the engine before
refuelling. Petrol is extremely ammable.
Burn injuries can be life threatening.
If you spill fuel, immediately clean the
components the fuel has come in contact
with. Clothes on which fuel has been
spilt are to be changed immediately.
• Tighten the tank cap as tightly as possible, to
minimise the risk that the cap vibrates loose
during sawing.
• Never saw with the chainsaw throttle locked.
Always operate the throttle manually when
sawing.
Increased throw-out risk! Never use a
chain sharpened for rip sawing when
cross cutting.
Before each work period
• Check the lifting line’s condition in particular.
Change immediately if any sign of wear is
detected. Check that bolted joints and locks
in the log bed lift and lock system are fully
tightened and that all the moving parts of the
sawmill move freely and smoothly.
• Check that the sawmill is completely level and
that it is securely xed to the underlying surface.
• Check that the cutting equipment is correctly
assembled. Risk of chain breaks!
• Check that saw unit is pushed fully into
position on the guide rail. Throw-out risk on
start up!
The sawmill is not to be in any other
position than level when in operation.
Risk of overturning! The Logosol F2+
should be fastened directly to the
underlying surface or to a bedding of
planks which increases the area of the
load bearing surface.
During operation
• Hold the crank rmly whenever raising or
lowering a log. If released, the crank may spin
back and hit your hand hard.
Do not place your hand on the inside of
the long leg when raising or lowering
the log. There is a risk that your hand can
be trapped if the lifting line snaps or the
crank spins.
• Do not saw short logs that extend less than
0.2 m beyond each log bed. A shorter log can
fall off when the log beds are raised!
• The maximum permitted load for the sawmill
is 1200 kg.
Always stand to the right of the saw unit
when it is in operation. A chains that
breaks can be thrown out through the
sawdust outlet.
• Keep the worksite free of tools, pieces of wood,
sawdust and other items you can trip on.
Turn off the chainsaw after each cut. Never
leave the Logosol F2+ unattended such
that unauthorized persons can start it.
If any kind of malfunction occurs, stop
sawing immediately and turn off the
chainsaw until the problem has been
resolved. Always keep this in mind. Most
accidents with dangerous machines, both
the Logosol F2+ and other machines,
happen when something goes wrong and
the operator attempts to x it while the
machine is still running. A stop seldom
shows up on the nished product.

• The aluminium components are anodized and
completely rustproof. The outer surface is as
wear-resistant as tempered steel, has a low
friction coefcient and is easy to keep free of
resin and sawdust.
• Adjustable feet make it easy to compensate for
uneven surfaces.
• Clear scales show the height of the log beds.
Extra measuring rods are available as accessories
to show the set sawing height.
• The crank axle runs through maintenance-free
bronze bearings that do not wear out.
• The slide rails use low-friction plastic that has a
long lifetime thanks to the ne surface of the
aluminium components.
• The settings for sawing parallel to the grain of
conical logs are quick and simple to set. (The log
beds should be set at different heights for more
than half of the cuts to get an acceptable yield.)
• There are many accessories available for the
Logosol F2+.
Maintenance
The Logosol F2+ should be kept clean, and all plastic
parts should be lubricated with Logosol’s lubricant
(7500-001-5050) or silicone lubricant (7500- 001-
5067). Regularly check the condition of the lifting
lines.
The tempered ratchet bar is only lightly protected
against rust and should be kept coated with a thin
layer of Supero (9999-000-5115) to prevent rust.
Service
The sawmill must be inspected regularly and maintained
as needed.
Only carry out the maintenance and repairs specied
in the manual. Other repairs must be carried out by
Logosol or by authorized Logosol dealers.
Do not make any alterations to the construction of
the sawmill as this can increase the risk of accidents.
After service, the sawmill should be restored to its
original condition. Logosol accepts no liability for
damage that occurs while working on an improperly
modied machine.

Make sure that the
end of the ratchet
bar does not extend
over the end of the
lifting beam, since this
makes it impossible
to assemble the log
bed. The ratchet bar is
normally slightly bent
towards the toothed
side. When screwing
it into place, it will get
a tight t against the
lifting beam by the
tension created.
