SECTION 1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Safety Symbols
The following symbols and signal words call your attention to instructions concerning your personal
safety Be sure to observe and follow these instructions.
DANGER! indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING! suggests a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION! refers to potentially hazardous situations which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury to persons or
equipment.
Warning stripes are placed on areas where a single decal would be
insufficient. To avoid serious injury, keep out of the path of any
equipment marked with warning stripes.
Before operating the sawmill, read the operator’s manual and all additional manuals provided with
the machine. Observe all safety instructions included in these manuals!
Always be sure that all safety decals are clean and readable. Replace immediately all damaged
safety decals to prevent personal injury or damage to the equipment. Contact Wood-Mizer Customer
Service or the Wood-Mizer distributor in your area to order a new decal.
IMPORTANT! It is always the owner's responsibility to comply with all applicable federal, state and
local laws, rules and regulations regarding the ownership, operation and transport of your LT70
sawmill. All Wood-Mizer owners are encouraged to become thoroughly familiar with these applicable
laws and comply with them fully while using the sawmill.
Always properly dispose of all sawing by-products, including sawdust and other debris, coolant, oil,
fuel, oil filters and fuel filters.
Safety instructions are listed in this section by the following operations:
Blade Handling,
Sawmill Setup,
Sawmill Operation,
Sawmill Maintenance.

Safety Instructions
Blade Handling
1
1-2 doc040622 Safety Instructions
1.2 Blade Handling
DANGER! Always disengage the blade and shut off the sawmill motor
before changing the blade. Failure to do so will result in serious injury.
WARNING! Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling
bandsaw blades. Keep all other persons away from area when coiling,
uncoiling, carrying or changing a blade. Changing blades is safest
when done by one person! Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
WARNING! Do not spin the blade wheels by hand. Spinning the blade
wheels by hand may result in serious injury.
1.3 Sawmill Setup
WARNING! Before operating a stationary sawmill, securely fasten its
feet to the floor. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION! Ambient temperature changes can cause increased
pressure in the blade tensioner and leak of oil from the pressure
gauge. Release the blade tension to avoid damage to the tensioner
after you have finished sawing for the day.
1.4 Sawmill Operation
IMPORTANT! The sawmill is intended for sawing wood only. See
Section Maximum Log Dimensions for log size capacities of the
machine.
IMPORTANT! The operator of the sawmill should get adequate
training in operation and adjustment of the machine.
DANGER! Make sure all guards and covers are in place and secured
before operating the sawmill. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury.
Be sure the blade housing covers are closed (i.e. the safety switches
located on them are engaged).
DANGER! Always keep hands away from moving bandsaw blade.
Failure to do so will result in serious injury.
DANGER! Keep all persons out of the path of moving equipment and
logs when operating the sawmill and/or loading and turning logs.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
DANGER! 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.

Safety Instructions
Sawmill Operation
Safety Instructions doc040622 1-3

DANGER! Always be sure the blade is disengaged and all persons are
out of the path of the blade before starting the motor. Failure to do so
may result in serious injury.
DANGER! Keep all persons out of the path of boards being removed.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
WARNING! Always disengage the clutch/brake mechanism when the
sawmill is not cutting. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
WARNING! Always wear eye, ear, respiration and foot protection as
well as safety clothing when operating or servicing the machine.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
WARNING! Be sure the power feed switch is in the neutral position
before turning the key switch to the ON (#1) or ACC (#3) position. This
prevents accidental carriage movement which may cause serious
injury or death.
WARNING! Secure all loose clothing and jewelry before operating the
sawmill. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Always make sure the log is clamped securely (against the
side supports) before sawing. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING! The loader arm should be left halfway up while a log is on
the sawmill bed. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! The automatic board return is intended to assist a second
operator in removing boards quickly. Do not use the board return when
operating the sawmill alone. Serious injury, death or damage to the
equipment may result.
WARNING! Never use the board return table as a platform to stand on.
This table is designed and intended to assist in the removal of boards
only. Standing on the table may result in serious injury.
WARNING! Use ONLY water with the water lube accessory. Never use
flammable fuels or liquids. If these types of liquids are necessary to
clean the blade, remove it and clean with a rag. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION! Before loading a log onto the sawmill bed, make sure that
the pivot bed rails, turner arm, clamp and toe boards are below the bed
level. Failure to do so may result in machine damage or misalignment.
CAUTION! Before loading a log, be sure the cutting head is moved far
enough forward so the log does not hit it. Failure to do so may result in
machine damage.

Safety Instructions
Sawmill Maintenance
1
1-4 doc040622 Safety Instructions
CAUTION! Be careful when manually lowering the log loader. Do not
drop the loader onto the ground or perform any action which might
break the velocity fuse valves on the loader cylinders. These valves
control oil flow and are necessary to prevent the loading arms from
collapsing during use.
CAUTION! Do not try to force the saw head beyond its upper and
lower travel limits. Damage to the up/down system may result.
CAUTION! Always make sure the up/down switch moves to the
neutral or “off” position when released to ensure that the saw head
stops moving. Failure to do so may result in machine damage.
CAUTION! Before transporting the sawmill move the log clamp and
turner to get more free space. Failure to do so may result in machine
damage.
CAUTION! Be sure to stop the blade before returning the saw head.
This will not only prevent the blade from being pulled off and ruined by
a wood sliver, but also will increase the life of the blade.
CAUTION! If loading ramps are used to load a log onto the sawmill
bed, remove them from the brackets on the bed frame before sawing.
Failure to do so can result in damage to the saw head and/or blade
guide arm.
CAUTION! Never clean the blade or blade wheels with a brush or a
scraper during sawmill operation.
CAUTION! 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.
CAUTION! Always wear gloves when handling the blade. Never grab
the blade with your bare hands!
CAUTION! If the blade breaks during sawmill operation, push the
EMERGENCY STOP button to stop the blade motor and wait
10 seconds before you open the blade housing covers.
CAUTION! The operator workstation should be equipped with a 4 kg
or bigger dry powder extinguisher.
1.5 Sawmill Maintenance
WARNING! Always secure the saw head with a chain or brace before
adjusting the up/down chain. The saw head may fall, causing severe
injury or death.
WARNING! Always secure the saw head with a chain or brace before
removing the up/down motor belt. The cutting head may fall, causing
severe injury or death.

WARNING! Drum switch grease contains Petroleum Hydrocarbon
Lubricant. Eye and skin irritant. If introduced into eyes, flush with water
for at least 15 minutes. If film or irritation persists, seek medical
attention. Wash your skin with soap and water. If ingested, do not
induce vomiting - contact a physician. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
CAUTION! Reinstall the track wiper so that it lightly touches the track
rail. If the wiper presses too firmly against the rail, it can cause the
power feed to bind.
CAUTION! Do not use chain lube. It causes sawdust buildup in the
chain.
CAUTION! Do not overtension the up/down chain. Overtensioning
may lead to early failure of the gear reducer.
CAUTION! Do not overtension the power feed chain. Damage to the
power feed motor may result.
CAUTION! Do not overtighten the contact set screws on the hydraulic
valve assembly. Overtightening may cause the threads in the screw
hole to strip.
CAUTION! It is important that the lower stop bolts are properly
adjusted to secure the saw head on the track rail. Failure to properly
adjust the stop bolts can cause saw head damage, especially during
mill transportation.
CAUTION! The hydraulic pressure should not exceed 2000 psi.
Pressure above 2000 psi (13.8 MPa) may also damage the hydraulic
hoses.
CAUTION! Failure to remove sawdust buildup from track rail cover can
result in damage to these parts when the saw head is lowered to its
lowest position.
