SECTION 1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Safety Symbols
The following symbols and signal words call your attention to instructions concerning yourpersonal
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 equip-
ment.
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 LT15WC 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 owner's responsibility to comply with all applicable federal, state and
local laws, rules and regulations regarding the ownership, operation and transport of your LT15WC
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
Safety Instructions 15doc091522 1-2

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.
1.3 Sawmill Setup
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 sawmill or dig out areas for the legs to keep the
machine level. Setting up the sawmill on an incline could cause it to
tip over, resulting in serious personal injury.
WARNING! Keep all persons away from area while loading and
unloading the sawmill. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or
death.
1.4 Sawmill Operation
IMPORTANT! The sawmill is intended for sawing wood only. See
Section Cutting Capacity for log size capacities of the machine.
IMPORTANT! The operator of the sawmill should get adequate
training in the operation and adjustment of the machine.
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.
DANGER! Be sure the blade housing is in place and secured.
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
1
1-3 15doc091522 Safety Instructions
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.
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! 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! Use ONLY water or alcohol solution 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! Be sure the log clamps are all the way down before
loading a log onto the bed. Failure to do so may result in machine
damage.
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.
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! 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 optional loading ramps are used to load a log onto the
sawmill bed, remove them from the brackets on the bed frame before
sawing. The saw head may hit the ramp stops when adjusted for low
cuts and get damaged.
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! The blade should be replaced every two hours of sawmill
operation.

CAUTION! Always wear gloves when handling the blade. Never
grab the blade with 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 sawmill’s work-stand should be equipped with a 4 kg
or bigger dry powder extinguisher.
1.5 Sawmill Maintenance
CAUTION! The up/down screw bellows should completely cover the
screw. If either of the bellows is damaged, replace it immediately.
Before installing the new bellows, clean the up/down screw and nut
thoroughly with extraction naphtha and then grease them.
CAUTION! Reinstall the track wiper so that it lightly touches the track
bar. If the wiper presses too firmly against the rail, it can cause the
forward/reverse movement to bind.
CAUTION! Never use grease on the mast track as it will collect
sawdust.
1.6 Safety Instructions
NOTE: ONLY safety instructions regarding personal injury are listed in this section. Caution
statements regarding equipment damage appear where applicable throughout the manual.
Observe Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT! Read the entire Operator's Manual before operating
the sawmill. Take notice of all safety warnings throughout this
manual and those posted on the machine. Keep this manual with this
