1-1 doc121422 Safety & General Information
SECTION 1 SAFETY & GENERAL INFORMATION
This symbol calls your attention to instructions concerning your per-
sonal safety. Be sure to observe and follow these instructions. This
symbol accompanies a signal word. The word 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. Read all safety instructions before operating this equipment and
observe all safety warnings!
Warning stripes are placed on areas where a single decal would be
insufficient. To avoid serious injury, keep out of the path of any equip-
ment marked with warning stripes.
Read and observe all safety instructions before operating this equip-
ment! Also read any additional manufacturer’s manuals and observe
any applicable safety instructions including dangers, warnings, and
cautions.
Always be sure that all safety decals are clean and readable. Replace
all damaged safety decals to prevent personal injury or damage to the
equipment. Contact your local distributor, or call your Customer Ser-
vice Representative to order more decals.
IMPORTANT! It is always the owner's responsibility to comply with all
applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations regard-
ing the ownership, operation and towing of your Wood-Mizer sawmill.
All Wood-Mizer mill owners are encouraged to become thoroughly
familiar with these applicable laws and comply with them fully while
using or towing the mill.
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 & General Information
Blade Handling
Safety & General Information doc121422 1-2
1
1.1 Blade Handling
DANGER! Shut off the sawmill motorbefore changing the blade. Fail-
ure to do so will result in serious injury.
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.
WARNING! Do not spin the blade wheels by hand. Spinning the blade
wheels by hand may result in serious injury.

Safety & General Information
Sawmill Setup
1
1-3 doc121422 Safety & General Information
1.2 Sawmill Setup
WARNING! Securely fasten the feet of a stationary sawmill to the floor
before operating the sawmill. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING! Always make sure the trailer is supporting the sawmill
frame when operating a sawmill with adjustable outriggers. Failure to
do so may result in serious injury or death. The adjustable outriggers
are intended to support the saw frame with assistance from the trailer.
WARNING! Do not set up the mill on ground with more than a 10
degree incline. If setup on an incline is necessary, put blocks under
one side of the mill or dig out areas for outrigger legs to keep mill level.
Setting up the mill on an incline could cause it to tip over, resulting in
serious personal injury.
CAUTION! Changes in temperature could cause increased pressure
in the blade tensioner and loss of fluid from the gauge. Release the
blade tension when the mill is not in use to avoid damage to the ten-
sioner.

Safety & General Information
Sawmill Operation
Safety & General Information doc121422 1-4
1
1.3 Sawmill 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.
Be sure the blade housing and pulley covers are in place and secure.
Use the safety retainer pin and cable to fasten blade housing covers.
DANGER! Always keep hands away from moving bandsaw blade.
Failure to do so will result in serious injury.
DANGER! Stay clear of the area between the trailer axle and saw car-
riage. Failure to do so will result in serious injury.
DANGER! Keep all persons out of the path of moving equipment and
logs when operating sawmill or loading and turning logs. Failure to do
so will result in serious injury.
DANGER! Maintain a clean and clear path for all necessary movement
around the mill and lumber stacking areas. Failure to do so will result in
serious injury.
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 will result in serious injury.
DANGER! Keep all persons out of the path of returning boards. Failure
to do so will result in serious injury.
WARNING! Always wear eye, ear, respiration, and foot protection
when operating the sawmill. 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 (#1) or (#2) 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 log is clamped securely before sawing.
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.

Safety & General Information
Sawmill Operation

1-5 doc121422 Safety & General Information
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! Be sure the pivot rails, turning arm, clamp, and toe boards
are below bed level before loading a log onto the bed. Failure to do so
may result in machine damage or cause misalignment.

Safety & General Information
Sawmill Operation
Safety & General Information doc121422 1-6

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! Nie zostawiać załączonych dźwigni sterowania hydrauliką
podczas postoju maszyny. Zakończyć się to może wyczerpaniem aku-
mulatora!
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 hydraulic flow and are necessary to prevent the loading arm
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 mov-
ing. Failure to do so may result in machine damage.
CAUTION! Move the hydraulic clamp and turner to provide maximum
ground clearance before towing. Failure to do so may result in damage
to the sawmill.
CAUTION! Be sure to stop the blade when returning the carriage. 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.
DANGER! Any arbitrary repairs of the electric installation could result
in serious injury or death.
DANGER! Any damaged electric parts, especially the wires supplying
the power feed motors must be repaired by a qualified electrician.
DANGER! Any repairs done to the electric installation may be done by
a qualified electrician with the power off.
UDANGER! The electric connector must be equipped with a safety
device to protect against shock.
DANGER! The electric connector must be installed by a qualified elec-
trician.
DANGER! Do not operate the sawmill with an open electric box.
DANGER! In the event that water appears in the electric box further

DANGER! The electric box door must always be closed, even when
the sawmill is not in use.
DANGER! Always disconnect the power when the sawmill has been
not in use for a long period.
DANGER! Any maintenance or repair must be done with the power off
(the plug must be taken out of the outlet).
CAUTION! Maintain a clean and clear path for all necessary move-
ment around the mill and lumber stacking areas. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury or machine damage.
CAUTION! Always be sure that all safety decals are clean and read-
able. Replace all damaged safety decals to prevent personal injury or
damage to the equipment. Contact your local distributor, or call your
Customer Service Representative to order more decals.
CAUTION! Before towing the machine, move the log clamp all the way
out. Failure to do so may cause damage to the log clamp during mill
transportation.
CAUTION! The sawmill’s work-stand should be equipped with a 4 kg
or bigger dry powder extinguisher.
