The sawmill, its options, accessories,
engine and blades (the “equipment”)
are extremely dangerous and can
cause severe injury or death. To avoid
serious injury, the equipment must always be
handled, operated and stored with the utmost
care and good judgment and in accordance
with all warnings, cautions, instructions and
procedures contained in this manual, in the
engine manual, in the instructions enclosed
with optional accessories and on the decals
posted on the equipment. Failure to use good
judgment or to follow any of these warnings,
cautions, instructions and procedures can
result in severe injury or death.
WARNING! This symbol means “Pay Extra
Attention” and is always followed by a warning
about a danger that can cause severe injury.
This symbol means “Pay Attention” and is
always followed by a caution or warning of
great importance for safety or sawing results.
For your own safety and the safety of others,
do not begin working with this equipment
before having read and understood this entire
manual, the engine manual, the instructions
enclosed with optional accessories and the decals
posted on the equipment.
Save all instructions for future reference. Keep all decals
in place, clean and readable. Replace any damaged or
missing decals without delay.
DISCLAIMER
Norwood Industries Inc. and Norwood
Enterprise Inc. disclaim any responsibility or
liability, in negligence or otherwise, for any
injuries, damages or losses of any kind arising
during the course of assembling, operating or
handling this equipment, options, accessories
or blades howsoever caused.
Responsibility for final inspection of the
sawmill parts and components, and the
assembly, maintenance and safe use of the
equipment, lies solely with the person(s) who
assembles and operates the equipment and
handles blades.
Persons under the age of 18 may not work with the
equipment or handle blades.
Only persons who meet all of the following
requirements are qualified to operate the equipment
or handle blades.
Qualified operators:
a. Have read and fully understood all the warnings,
cautions, instructions and procedures in this manual,
the engine manual and all instructions enclosed with
optional accessories, and on all decals posted on
the equipment,
b. Are well rested,
c. Are in good physical health with good eyesight,
d. Have not consumed alcohol or drugs, and

e. Are not taking medication that can impair judgment,
reaction times, mobility, alertness or otherwise cause
negative side effects.
Persons who fail to meet any of these requirements are
not qualified to use the equipment or handle blades.
Wear protective gloves when working with the
equipment or handling blades. Risk of cutting
injuries when handling blades. Blades and
engine can be hot immediately after sawing.
Wear approved hearing protection when
operating the equipment. Hearing can
be permanently impaired after only short
exposure to high-frequency sounds.
Wear approved close-fitting safety goggles
when working with the equipment or handling
blades.
Wear approved protective footwear with saw
protection, steel toe-cap and non-slip sole
when working with the equipment or handling
blades.
Wear full-length protective pants when working
with the equipment or handling blades. Never
wear loose-fitting clothing, scarves, jewelery
or similar long items that can get caught when
working with the equipment. Always secure loose hair
before working with the equipment.
Wear respiration protection when working
with the equipment. Long term inhalation of
sawdust and the engine’s exhaust fumes can
represent a health risk.
Many hydraulic operation fluids are flammable, so
do not use open flame and do not perform welding
in the vicinity of hydraulic devices and equipment.
Failure to follow this precaution creates the risk of
fire.
Do not exceed the operational limitations of the
system. Failure to do so can cause an accident or
injury.
Before each use, check for electrical wire damage
and replace if necessary
Before each use, check for damage to hydraulic
hoses and hydraulic components, loose fittings and
signs of leaks.
To avoid personal injury, keep hands and feet away
from cylinders and work pieces during operation.
Never set the relief valve to a higher pressure than
the maximum rated pressure of the pump (2500 psi
or 172 bars). Higher settings may result in equipment
damage and/or personal injury. Do not remove relief
valve.
Do not handle pressurized hoses. Escaping oil under
pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious
injury. If oil is injected under the skin, contact a
physician immediately.
Before replacing the hydraulic operating fluid, allow
the fluid in the system to cool sufficiently. Hot fluid
creates the risk of burn injury.
Should you ever notice abnormal noise, abnormal
heat, abnormal vibration, leaking oil, smoke,
abnormal odor, or any other abnormal operation
in a valve, pump, or motor, immediately shut down
operation and take the necessary steps to correct
the condition. Continued use under the above
conditions creates the risk of damage, fire, and
personal injury
Always stay behind the sawhead after the engine is
started.
Always keep remote control wires clear of the
sawmill, including carriage and sawhead.
Do not exceed equipment rating. Overloading causes
equipment failure and possible injury. The pump is
designed for a maximum pressure of 2500 psi (172
bars).
Avoid damaging hydraulic hoses. Avoid sharp bends
and kinks when routing hydraulic hoses. Using a
bent or kinked hose will cause severe back pressure.
Sharp bends and kinks will internally damage the
hose leading to premature hose failure.
Do not lift hydraulic equipment by the hoses or swivel
couplers.
Use the proper type of hydraulic operating fluid,
ensuring that fluid temperature, viscosity,
contaminant level, and other factor are all within
prescribed ranges. Using hydraulic operating fluid
outside of its prescribed ranges creates the risk of
fire due to operational problems, mechanical
damage, and fluid leaks.
Before each use, check the fluid temperature, fluid
level and fluid color (for discoloration and
deterioration). Any abnormalities create the risk of
malfunction and breakdown.
Whitish fluid indicates that water has contaminated
the fluid, and blackish fluid indicates that the fluid
has been subjected to high temperatures. Replace
the operating fluid whenever these symptoms are
noticed.
Make sure to avoid splashing hydraulic operating
fluid on you or others. Should fluid get on your skin,
wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
Allowing hydraulic operating fluid to remain on the
skin creates the risk of skin irritation.
EN–2

Never attempt any unauthorized modifications of the
hydraulic systems.
Whenever changing to another type of hydraulic
operating fluid, be sure to thoroughly flush out the
interior of the circuit. Never mix hydraulic operating
fluids of different types. Continued use creates the
risk of malfunction of, and damage to, the equipment.
Allowing the hydraulic operating fluid level in the tank
to become too low creates the risk of malfunction
and breakdown.
Always check hydraulic devices for looseness of
internal components that may have occurred during
transport and check to make sure that all
components are fitted securely.
Wipe up any hydraulic operating fluid that gets on
the product or floor. Failure to do so creates the risk
of personal injury due to the product slipping out of
your hand and falling, and due to someone slipping
on the fluid left on the floor.
Valve, pump and motor casing can become very hot
during operation. Do not touch them.
Never climb onto, strike, tip over, or apply excessive
force to a product. Doing so creates the risk of
malfunction, damage, fluid leaks, etc.
Never allow cutting oil, grinding oil, clippings, water
or other similar matter to get on or in hydraulic
devices.
Make sure installation holes and surfaces are clean.
Insufficient bolt tightening torque can allow fluid
leaks.
Always make sure to release all residual pressure
before starting disassembly work. Performing
disassembly work without releasing residual
pressure creates the risk of accident due to spurting
fluid, actuator free running, or dropping, and also
creates the risk of malfunction and breakdown.
For optimum performance, do not expose equipment
to temperature of 65 °C (150 °F) or higher.
If the system will not be operated for long periods, be
sure to take proper anti-rust measures.
Not operating the system for long periods without
taking anti-rust measures creates the risk of
malfunction and breakdown due to rust.
Be sure to flush the system before using it again
after long periods of non-use. Failure to flush out
rust inhibitors creates the risk of malfunction and
breakdown.
Seals may need to be replaced before using a
product for the first time after long storage.
