SECTION 1 SETUP & OPERATION
With the Wood-Mizer Resaw Attachment Option, you can resaw cants up to 94" (225100
mm) thick and 1812" (450300 mm) wide. The Resaw Attachment mounts to the sawmill
bed. The carriage head of the sawmill remains stationary (in a fixed position) while a pow-
ered conveyor beltrollers on the attachment feeds cants through the saw blade. The fol-
lowing instructions will guide you in installation, operation, and maintenance of the Resaw
Attachment.
See Figure 1-1. The Resaw Attachment includes the following:
Feed assembly
Two roller table assemblies
Two wiring harnesses
Two carriage locking clamps

1.1 Pre-Installation
1. Remove the carriage locking clamps from the shafts located across the top of the feed
assembly. The clamps will be used later during installation of the Resaw Attachment to
the sawmill bed.
WARNING! Before performing any service to the sawmill control box
panel, turn the key to the OFF position, disconnect the negative battery
lead, and remove all rings, watches, etc.... Failure to do so may cause
serious injury and machine damage.
2. Raise the cutting head. Remove the battery/power feed cover. Disconnect the negative
lead of the battery.

Resaw Revision K
IMPORTANT! This section contains wiring instructions for
installing current revision resaws to 1997 and later model
LT30 Super, LT40 Super, LT30HD Super, or LT40HD Super
mills.
If you have a 1997 or later model LT30, LT40, LT30HD or
LT40HD mill or if you have a 1992-1996 model mill, follow
the wiring installation instructions found in Section 1.3 Elec-
trical Installation for ‘97+ Standard Mills & All ‘92-’96 Mills.
If you have a mill manufactured prior to 1992, following the
wiring installation instructions found in Section 1.4 Electrical
Installation for Pre-‘92 Mills.
4. Locate the two terminal posts on the power feed motor. Remove the existing wires from
each terminal. (Set the top retaining nut, top washer, and rubber boot from each connec-
tion aside.) Unclamp the wires from the power feed belt guard and route them back
through the side of the battery box.
5. Slide one of the existing rubber boots over each wire of the provided long harness.
Connect the black harness wire to the top motor terminal. Connect the red harness wire
to the bottom motor terminal. Secure each connection in place with the existing washers
and retaining nuts removed earlier. Cover each connection with the rubber boots installed
to the wires earlier.
6. Route the long harness along the side of the power feed belt guard, using the existing
clamps to secure in place. Connect the long harness to the provided short harness.
7. Route the short harness through the battery box as shown.

8. Connect the wires that were originally connected to the power feed motor to the short har-
ness with the neoprene tube.
See Figure 1-4. To connect, bundle the two harness wires together with the small tie
wrap. Connect the red power feed wire to the red harness wire with a screw and a
self-locking nut. Connect the black power feed wire to the black harness wire with a screw
and a self-locking nut. Slip one end of the neoprene tube around each wire/harness con-
nection. Secure the tubing around the connections with the large tie wrap.
9. Connect the long harness from the power feed motor and the short harness from the bat-
tery box. Replace the negative battery lead and check that the power feed operates nor-
mally with the control panel. NOTE: To operate the Resaw Attachment, disconnect the
harnesses and connect the harness from the Resaw Attachment to the battery box har-
ness. Use the CARRIAGE switch and FEED RATE dial on the control panel to operate
the Resaw Attachment.
10. Replace the battery/power feed cover.

Resaw Revision K
IMPORTANT! This section contains wiring instructions for
installing current revision resaws to 1997 and later model
LT30, LT40, LT30HD, or LT40HD mills and 1992-1996
model mills.
If you have a 1997 or later model LT30 Super, LT40 Super,
LT30HD Super or LT40HD Super mill, follow the wiring
installation instructions found in Section 1.2 Electrical
Installation for ‘97+ Super Mills.
If you have a mill manufactured prior to 1992, following the
wiring installation instructions found in Section 1.4 Electrical
Installation for Pre-‘92 Mills.
1. Remove the pulley from the power feed motor shaft. Unbolt and remove the power feed
motor from the motor mount. If you have a .5 HP motor originally supplied before July
1996, remove the two screws that hold the motor end cap to the motor and remove the
cap. Newer motors do not have end caps covering the terminal posts.

2. Note how the red and black wires are connected to the motor terminals. Remove the
retaining nut and wires from each terminal. If applicable, pull the wires out of the motor
end cap grommet. Route the wires back through the side of the battery box.
3. If applicable, place the short harness cable through the motor end cap grommet. NOTE:
A lubricant may be necessary to fit the harness through the grommet. Connect the red
harness wire to motor terminal where the old red wire was connected. Connect the black
harness wire to the other motor terminal. Secure the wires so the ring terminals will not
contact the motor housing or the motor end cap and replace the terminal nuts.
See Figure 1-6.
4. If applicable, position the harness at the top left of the motor and replace the motor end
cap and screws. Rebolt the power feed motor and replace the pulley and belt guard.

Resaw Revision K
IMPORTANT! This section contains wiring instructions for
installing current revision resaws to mills manufactured
prior to 1992.
If you have a 1997 or later model LT30 Super, LT40 Super,
LT30HD Super or LT40HD Super mill, follow the wiring
installation instructions found in Section 1.2 Electrical
Installation for ‘97+ Super Mills.
If you have a 1997 or later model LT30, LT40, LT30HD or
LT40HD mill or a 1992-1996 model mill, follow the wiring
installation instructions found in Section 1.3 Electrical
Installation for ‘97+ Standard Mills & All ‘92-’96 Mills.
1. Remove the two screws holding the cover to the power feed motor. Locate the two termi-
nal posts "A" and "B". Remove the retaining nuts from both terminals. Remove all wires
from the motor terminals and pull them out through the motor cover grommet.
2. Install the short male harness to the power feed motor. See Figure 1-6. Route the har-
ness cable through the motor cover grommet. NOTE: A lubricant may be necessary to fit
the harness through the grommet.
3. Connect the red harness wire to motor terminal "B". Connect the black harness wire to
motor terminal "A". Replace the terminal nuts being sure the wires are secured in a posi-
tion so that the ring terminals will not contact the motor cover. Replace the motor cover
and screws so that the harness is positioned at the top left of the motor. See Figure 1-7.
4. Route the wires that were originally connected to the power feed motor up through the
bottom of the control box. Remove the control box cover and connect the motor wires to
the long harness with the neoprene tube as described below.
5. Install the long harness through the control box grommet. Use the small tie wrap to bun-
dle the two harness wires together as shown. Connect the blue power feed wire to the red
harness wire with a screw and a self-locking nut. Connect the green power feed wire to
the black harness wire with a screw and a self-locking nut. Slip the supplied neoprene
tube around both wire/harness connections as shown. See Figure 1-8. Keeping the tub-
ing folded tight, use a large tie wrap to secure the bundled connection to the yellow, red
and brown wire harness in the control box. Tuck the excess length of wires into the left
front corner of the control box and replace the control box cover.

6. Connect the short harness from the power feed motor and the long harness from the con-
trol box. Use the remaining tie wraps to strap the harnesses together as shown. The
power feed should operate normally with the drum switch and control box as before. To
operate the Resaw Attachment, disconnect the harnesses and connect the harness from
the Resaw Attachment to the control box harness. The drum switch and control box
switch will now operate the Resaw Attachment.
