1.2 Wireless control panel
The LT70 sawmills can be equipped with the saw head remote control system (with a wireless
control panel). This system allows you to fully control the saw head, i.e. engage and disengage the
blade, the power feed and up/down operation, the blade guide arm and the debarker as well as to
adjust the feed rate.

Transmitter electronic system constantly controls battery voltage. When it falls below the appropriate
value, the LED indicator light will turn red or an acoustic signal will be heard after which the system
will automatically turn off. In this case, perform the following steps:
Set the saw head in safe position.
Turn the key to the “0” position. The transmitter will be turned off. Remove the key.
NOTE: When the battery is fully charged, the panel should work for
approximately 20 hours at 20oC.
Charging the battery.
To remove the battery, move it forward and lift.
Place the battery in the charger provided by the manufacturer. Use original charger only.
Be sure the charger is connected to the appropriate power supply (220-230V socket or car plug
