1.4 Safety
The symbol calls your attention to instructions concerning your personal safety.
Read and follow these instructions!
DANGER! indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! suggests a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION! refers to potentially hazardous situations which, if not avoided, may result
in minor or moderate injury to persons or equipment damage.
NOTE: informs people of important installation, operation, or maintenance
information that is not hazard related.
Read all additional manufacturer’s manuals and observe any applicable safety instructions
including dangers, warnings, and cautions!
Wear protective clothing
WARNING! Secure all loose clothing and jewelry before operating the sawmill.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling bandsaw
blades. Changing blades is safest when done by one person! Keep all other
persons away from area when coiling, carrying or changing a blade. Failure to
do so may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Always wear eye, ear, respiration and foot protection as well as
protective clothing when operating or servicing the sawmill. Failure to do so
may result in serious injury or death.
Keep the sawmill and area around the machine clean
WARNING! Maintain a clean and clear path for all necessary movement around
the sawmill and lumber stacking areas. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury or death.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION Timbery M100 110819 1-4
Handle fuel/lubricants safely
DANGER! Due to the flammable nature of fuel and oil, never smoke, weld, grind
or allow sparks near your engine or storage tanks, especially during times of
fueling. Doing so may result in serious injury or death.
DANGER! Never allow fuel to spill on a hot engine during fueling operations or
otherwise. The hot temperature of your engine could induce a fire or explosion.
Failure to do so will result in serious injury or death.
DANGER! Store gasoline away from sawdust and other flammable materials.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
Dispose of sawing by-products properly
CAUTION! Always properly dispose of all sawing by-products, including sawdust and
other debris, coolant, oil, fuel, oil filters and fuel filters. Failure to do so may result in
injury or equipment damage.
Safety for sawmill set-up
WARNING! Do not set up the sawmill on ground with more than a 10 degree
incline. If setup on an incline is necessary, put blocks under one side of the
machine or dig out areas for the legs to keep the sawmill level. Failure to do so
may result in serious injury or death.
Check sawmill before operation
DANGER! Make sure all guards and covers are in place and secured before
operating or towing the sawmill. Failure to do so may result in serious injury
or death.
WARNING! Release the blade tension when the sawmill is not in use
(for example at the end of a shift). Tension the blade again before starting the
engine/motor.
Keep all people away
DANGER! Keep all persons out of the path of moving equipment and logs when
operating the sawmill or loading and turning logs. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury or death.

INTRODUCTION
1-5 110819 Timbery M100 INTRODUCTION
DANGER! Always be sure the blade is disengaged and all persons are out of the
path of the blade before starting the engine or motor. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury or death.
Keep hands away
DANGER! Always disengage the blade and shut off the sawmill motor/engine
before changing the blade. Failure to do so may result in serious injury
or death.
DANGER! Always keep hands away from moving bandsaw blade. Failure to do
so may result in serious injury or death.
DANGER! Always be aware of and take proper protective measures against
rotating shafts, pulleys, fans, etc. Always stay a safe distance from rotating
members and make sure that loose clothing or long hair does not engage
rotating members. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Do not spin the blade wheels by hand. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING! Always keep clear of exiting sawdust. Keep hands, feet, and any
other objects away from the sawdust chute when operating the sawmill. Failure
to do so may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Never clean the blade or the blade wheels with a brush or a scraper
during sawmill operation.
WARNING! Before installation of the blade, inspect it for damage and cracks.
Use only properly sharpened blades. Always handle the blade with extreme
caution. Use suitable carrier equipment for transporting the blades.
Cautions for gas engine operation
DANGER! The exhaust gases of your engine are poison gases. Operate your
engine/machine in well ventilated areas only. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury or death.
DANGER! Leaking fuel or oil can contact hot surfaces and ignite into flames.
Never operate an engine with a fuel or oil leak. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury or death.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION Timbery M100 110819 1-6
WARNING! Engine components can become very hot during operation. Avoid
contact with any part of a hot engine especially during and following operation.
Contact with hot engine components can cause serious burns. Never touch
or perform service functions on a hot engine. Allow the engine to cool
sufficiently before beginning any service function. Failure to do so will result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING! Do not operate the engine without proper and operational spark
arrester/muffler. Sparks from the engine can cause a fire or explosion. Failure
to do so may result in serious injury or death.
Use extreme care when turning heavy logs
WARNING! Before sawing, always make sure the log is securely clamped
against the side supports. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
Keep safety labels in good condition
WARNING! Always be sure that all safety decals placed on the machine are
clean and readable. Replace all damaged safety decals to prevent personal
injury or damage to the equipment. Contact your local distributor, or call
Timbery Customer Service to order decals.
WARNING! When replacing any component having a safety decal affixed,
be sure to place an identical safety decal on the new component.

2.5 Noise Level
See Table 2-6. See the table below for the average levels of noise generated by various M120
sawmill models12.
Sawmill Noise Level
M120EH5, M120EH7 LEX8 = 99 dB (A)
M120G9, M120G14 LEX8 = 106 dB (A)
TABLE 2-6
1.The noise level measurement was taken in accordance with PN-EN ISO 3746 Standard. The noise exposure level given
above concerns an 8-hour work day. Value for associated uncertainty: K=4dB
2. The measured values refer to emission levels, not necessarily to noise levels in the workplace. Although there is a
relation between emission levels and exposure levels, it is not possible to determine with certainty if preventives are
needed or are not needed. The factors affecting a current level of noise exposure during work are inter alia room
characteristics and characteristics of other noise sources, e.g. number of machines and machining operations nearby. Also
the permissible exposure level can vary from country to country. This information, however, will enable the user of the
machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.
