SECTION 1 INSTALLATION
1.1 SW-10 Controller Installation Procedure on the LT15 Sawmills
IMPORTANT! Make sure the sawmill is properly set up
before performing setworks installation and/or operation.
WARNING! Before performing any service to the sawmill
control box panel, turn the key to the “0”. Set the main
switch, located on the control box in “0” position and
disconnect the power supply cable. In DC sawmills unplug
the battery cables. Failure to do so may cause serious
injury and machine damage.
1. Replace the control panel bracket.
2. Mount the controller box to the bracket.

3. Install the encoder.
See Photo 1-1.
4. Route the encoder wire inside the mast to the controller. Connect wires to the encoder
terminals according to the table below.
CAUTION! If the encoder impulses counting direction is not
consistent with the real one, the controller will not work
correctly (the saw head height on the controller display is
rising during saw head downward movement) - then the
connection of wires to W1 & W2 inputs should be inverted.

2-2 SW-10doc111419 OPERATION
Descriptions of the controller panel buttons:
A, B, C - Board thickness memory buttons, program memory buttons
SAVE PROG - confirming a program, setting a head return height
MANUAL PROGRAM - activating the Manual Program mode, switching items upwards
QUICK PROGRAM - activating the Quick Program mode, switching items downwards
SET HEIGHT - entering a real distance between the blade and the sawmill bed
DEL. PRG./EXIT - deleting a previously stored program, exiting an active function
BUMP UP MODE – Bump Up function: Automatically moves the saw head up to clear the log or cant
when it is returned. You can choose between two, permanently defined Bump Up values.
NEXT CUT– automatic head downward movement (to next cut height), storing entered values
KERF - setting blade kerf value, activating/disabling the Remote mode
CALIBR – activating the auto-calibration mode, entering the input divider value
NOTE: Do not use any hard objects, or too much force, to press the controller
buttons.
NOTE: Protect the controller keypad against precipitations and sunbeams.
Clean it with a soft rag and mild cleaners.

2.2 Start-up Settings of the Controller
1. Setting the Input Divider (entered only once, at the first start-up)
Switch on the controller.
When the text “SW-10” appears on the display, press and hold until the divider value appears
on the lower display.
Enter the correct value of the divider (depending on the up/down system of the machine) using the
keypad (for LT15 sawmills, the divider value should be 20, for LT20, LT40 and WM1000 sawmills,
the divider value should be 5).
Press to save the entered divider value.
„SAVE” will appear in the display window.
2. Entering the Blade Kerf Thickness
On initial start-up or after replacement of the blade with another one with a different thickness or different
tooth set, the kerf value should be entered.
Press and hold until the small zero and the current kerf setting appear on the lower display.
Enter the kerf value.
NOTE: We recommend using Wood-Mizer blades only. For the Wood-Mizer
blades, the kerf value should be 2mm, so you should press “2” and “0”
buttons.
Kerf values with an accuracy of up to 0.1 mm can be entered into the memory
of SW-10 Setworks.

2-4 SW-10doc111419 OPERATION
See Figure 2-2.
To save the kerf value setting, press . The controller will display the text “SAVE” and will
exit the function.
NOTE: From this moment, the Setworks controller will be calculating next
cutting positions taking into account the stored kerf value. Therefore, it will not
be necessary to correct the head height manually during cutting.
3. Auto-calibration
This function should be used in case of:
- [ LT15 sawmills ] Replacement of the up-down system screw or motor, after lubrication of the screws and
other moving parts of the head as well as when significant cutting variances are observed;
- [ LT20, LT40 and WM1000 sawmills ] If difference between the blade height shown on the upper display
and the real dimension from the bed rail level is observed.
- [all sawmills] If the sawmill is operated in conditions of large air temperature fluctuations, perform the
automatic calibration twice a week.
