Glossary Of Terms

The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate to this sawmill and milling in general. Become familiar with these terms for assembling, adjusting or operating this machine. Your safety is VERY important to us at Grizzly!

Board Foot: Unit of measurement for volume

of lumber cut from a log. Used to measure productivity and cost. A board foot is typically measured as a piece of wood 1' x 1' x 1", or 144 cubic inches.

Burl: A tough outgrowth on a log with deformed

grains that make elaborate patterns. Burls are difficult to cut, but often have unique patterns desirable to woodworkers.

Cant: Partially cut log with one to four flat sides.

A cant might be cut on a sawmill and moved to another machine, finished on the sawmill, or sold as-is.

Carriage: Structure that supports the engine and

saw blade and moves along the track.

Flatsawn: Lumber sawn nearly parallel to the

wood grain. Most efficient lumber to mill, but most susceptible to warping and cupping. Also called plainsawn lumber.

Flitch: Piece of wood with two flat surfaces and

one or two natural edges. Flitches can be edged to produce finished lumber.

Grade Sawing: Process of rotating log or cant

multiple times throughout milling in order to produce lumber of the highest possible grade.

Parallel: Being an equal distance apart at every

point along two given lines or planes; i.e., the rip fence face is parallel to the face of the saw blade.

Perpendicular: Lines or planes that intersect and

form right angles; i.e., the blade is perpendicular to the table surface.

Pith: The central rings in a log or tree. The pith

is the oldest wood, created when the tree was young. It is prone to cracking as wood dries and shrinks.

Plainsawn: See "Flatsawn".

Quartersawn: Lumber sawn so the grain is

perfectly perpendicular to the flat surface of the board. Quartersawn lumber is resistent to warping and cupping, but is time consuming and produces the most waste wood.

Riftsawn: Lumber sawn so that the grain is close

to perpendicular to the flat surface of the board. Riftsawn lumber is resistant to warping and cupping, but is time consuming to mill.

Slab: Piece of wood with one flat surface and the

rest is natural wood. As a by product of milling lumber, slabs are often sectioned and used as firewood.

Kerf: The resulting cut or gap in the workpiece

after the saw blade passes through during a cutting operation.

Live Sawing: Process of cutting parallel through

log or cant from top to bottom. Most efficient method of milling that produces flatsawn, quartersawn, and riftsawn lumber.

-6-

Sticker: Pieces of narrow wood (approximately

1"x1") used to separate lumber that is stacked for air drying. Usually made of light wood that will not stain the drying lumber.

Stickering: Process of stacking wood using stickers.

Waney: Edge of a board that is tapered or unfinished.

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool for its intended purpose—do not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or any condition that could affect safe operation. Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting cord-connected machines from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord may damage the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you experience difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

Additional Safety for Sawmills

Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with the moving saw blade during operation or if blade breakage occurs. Death or sickness can occur from carbon monoxide poisoning if operating in an enclosed space. To reduce these risks, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

OPERATING POSITION. Keep hands and feet

away from all moving parts and do not reach over or across sawmill during operation. Never support lumber by hand during operation. Use non-skid safety shoes and hardhat as needed.

AMPUTATION/ENTANGLEMENT. Do not operate this sawmill without blade cover in place and properly functioning limit switch. Loose clothing, jewelry, long hair and work gloves can be drawn into working parts.

ADEQUATE VENTILATION. The sawmill engine produces carbon monoxide, which is a poisonous gas. Make sure work area is adequately ventilated. Never operate this machine in an enclosed area such as a shed, garage, or basement. Do not operate machine near windows or doors where carbon monoxide can be drawn into an occupied space.

HOT ENGINE. Engine and other parts of machine get hot during operation. Contact with hot components can cause severe burns. Allow engine to cool before placing hands near engine, adding fuel, or performing any service or maintenance.

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. Always shut down engine and wait for parts to come to a stop before making adjustments, changing blade, or servicing machine. Consult engine manual for proper shut down procedure to prevent injury from accidental startup.

BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull, cracked, or badly worn blade. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before each use. When replacing blades, always shut off engine, wear gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to protect eyes, and ensure blade is installed with teeth oriented in correct direction.

CORRECT USE. Do not mill lumber that exceeds machine capacity or attempt to saw any material other than lumber. Distribute load evenly using approved supports and clamps to prevent machine from tipping or lumber from rolling off track. Excess or improper material increases the risk of injury.

OPERATING AREA. Only operate sawmill on a reasonably flat and level surface with space to work around the machine. Be aware of potential hazards in the work area such as other machinery, lumber, and power lines above or below the ground. Operating in a confined space increases risk of injury.

FIRE HAZARD. Clean sawdust buildup around engine and exhaust areas after each use. Do not operate near flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Sparks can ignite dust or fumes. Do not operate machine near open flame and never smoke during operation.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

Workpiece Inspection

Some workpieces are not safe to cut or may require modification before they are safe to cut.

Before cutting, inspect all workpieces for the following:

Changing Blade

Blade changes entail removing the existing blade, installing the new blade, then properly adjusting the blade tension, tracking, and guides.

• Material Type: This machine is intended for cutting natural wood logs only. The maximum diameter of log that can be sawn is 28". This machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc.; cutting these materials with a sawmill may lead to injury and machine/blade damage.

• Debarking: Bark can trap and hide foreign objects, such as tramp metal or hidden nails, and can cause excessive blade wear. Consider debarking your logs for increased safety and longer blade life.

• Branches and Uneven Logs: Use a chainsaw or other saw to remove any branches that prevent the log from lying evenly against the track and log supports. Similarly, uneven burls protruding from the log may need to be removed before the log can be sawn.

Disconnect spark plug wire before performing adjustments or maintenance to reduce risk of accidental start-up injury.

Saw blades are sharp and may cause lacerations. To reduce the risk of injury, wear leather gloves when handling saw blades.

Removing Blade

1. DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE!

26), then slide blade over each wheel.

A properly tensioned blade is essential for making accurate cuts, maximizing blade life, and making other bandsaw adjustments. However, a properly tensioned blade will not compensate for cutting problems caused by excessive feed rate, hardness variations between workpieces, and improper blade selection.

An over-tensioned blade increases the chance of the blade breaking or wheel misalignment. Undertensioned blades wander excessively while cutting and will not track properly during operation.

Use a blade tensioning gauge to determine how much to tighten the blade tension handle (see

Page 34).

IMPORTANT: Always release blade tension when

storing machine. Storing the blade with high blade tension for extended time period can deform blade and weaken tensioning spring, reducing the durability and accuracy of the machine.

Types of Lumber

The orientation of the woodgrain on a piece of wood has a large impact on the attributes of the lumber. Whether it is for structural, aesthetic, or economic reasons, it is important for a sawyer to know the output of their labors.

Flatsawn

Quartersawn

Riftsawn

Figure 39. Types of lumber taken from a log.

Quartersawn lumber is less likely to cup or twist when dried. However, producing perfectly quarter sawn lumber is typically time consuming and wastes a large volume of wood.

Some types of wood, such as white oak, show ray flecks on the surface of the board when quartersawn, which is highly sought after by woodworkers. Taking the time to produce more quarter sawn lumber can pay off, but it is important to know what you are sawing and how the lumber will be used before putting in the extra work.

Riftsawn Lumber

Sometimes classified as a type of quartersawn lumber, riftsawn lumber is characterized by woodgrain between 45°–70° to the face of the lumber. It will never have perfectly perpendicular woodgrain or show ray flecks.

Riftsawn lumber is often the by-product of quarter sawing methods. Many sawyers consider riftsawn lumber to be a happy medium between structural integrity and milling time.

Flatsawn Lumber (Plainsawn)

Flatsawn lumber is characterized by woodgrain that is less than 45° to the face of the lumber, called "tangential grain."

This often results in unique cathedral patterns on the face of the lumber. However, the tangential grain contributes to more cupping and twisting during drying. Because flatsawn lumber is fastest and most plentiful to produce, it is the most affordable lumber on the market. The majority of construction quality lumber is flatsawn.

Quartersawn Lumber

Quartersawn lumber is characterized by woodgrain nearly perpendicular to the board. By some definitions, quartersawn lumber has grain more than 45° to the face of the lumber. In this manual, quartersawn refers to lumber with grain between 75°–90° to the face.

Cants

Cants are sawn logs with at least one finished side. Cants with four finished sides are often used in construction or resawn into smaller pieces of dimensional lumber.

dimensional lumber.

Model G0901 (Mfd. Since 11/22)

Drying Lumber

Slab

Cant Sawing

Before cutting your first log, have a plan for drying your lumber. Depending on the species of wood, a green log might have anywhere from 60%–180% moisture content, and needs to be dried to approximately 6%–11% before it can be finished and used.

With the moisture loss, lumber will shrink and warp. Depending on the drying conditions and species of wood, air-drying can take anywhere from several weeks to many months.

The most common method is air-drying, in which freshly cut lumber is stacked outdoors with stickers and weights and the ends are sealed with latex paint. Weighing down the stack and sealing the board ends help to minimize warping as the wood shrinks. When the lumber reaches approximately 20% moisture content, the stack is moved indoors until drying is complete.

Sawing a log into a square cant is a fundamental sawing operation for any sawyer. When sawing a cant, slabs are removed from four sides of the log, leaving a square beam.

To saw a cant:

1. Inspect log and determine size of cant to be

produced. Mark planned cuts on end of log.

Load log on track bed and secure with log

supports and log clamp.

Cut slab from top of log and remove it (see

3. Figure 42).

Log Clamp

Log Support

Drying

Wood

Sticker

Figure 41. Side view of an air-drying stack.

Tracking moisture content can be done by regularly weighing and recording several of the drying boards. When the rate of weight loss slow or stops, the wood has stopped drying. Moisture meters (see Page 36) provide a fast and accurate alternative to weight tracking.

Due to the many variables involved in drying lumber, it is important to research and plan for your specific needs. Understand the drying environment and type of wood in order to ensure the end product meets your needs.

-29-

Note: It is essential that cut face of cant is

secured perpendicular to track on first rotation. When first (2) cuts are perpendicular, remaining sides will be easy to square to log supports.

5. Repeat Steps 3—4 for each side of cant.

6. If square cant was goal of operation, con-

gratulations, you are finished! To cut cant into dimensional labor, proceed to Live Sawing.

Live Sawing

Live sawing is a method of sawing logs that is fast and produces very little wasted wood. In a live sawing procedure, the log is cut from top to bottom and is rarely rotated more than once.

Lumber produced when live sawing will range from flatsawn (cuts made near the top and bottom) to quartersawn (cuts made near the middle of the log). Because no specific type of lumber is prioritized, live sawing maximizes the amount of board feet produced per log.

To live-saw a log:

1. Inspect log and outline a sawing plan.

Consider orientation of log on track and where to start cutting to produce the best lumber. Mark planned cuts on end of log.

Load log on track bed and secure with log

supports and log clamp.

Make first cut, then remove slab from log (see

3. Figure 44).

Lower blade the desired thickness of lumber

4. and cut first flitch (see Figure 44).

Figure 45. Log rotated 180° for live sawing.

Note: Logs can be live sawn from top to bot-

tom without being rotated, but rotating once provides stable base to saw rest of log.

Continue to cut flitches from top to bottom

until log is fully used. Adjust log supports and log clamp throughout process to keep log secured and supports below blade.

7. Edge flitches as needed.

— If available, an edger can be used to

quickly and easily edge lumber.

— Without an edger, sawmill can be used.

Refer to Edging on Page 31.

Note: Live-sawing square cant will produce lum- ber that does not need to be edged. However, it typically produces more waste than live-sawing log and edging it..

-30-

Model G0901 (Mfd. Since 11/22)

Edging

Repeat Steps 2–3 until all flitches have been

edged once (see Figure 47).

Edging a flitch involves removing the natural or waney edges, turning it into lumber with four finished sides. Using an edger is the quickest and simplest way of edging, but edging can also be done with a sawmill. For many sawyers running singe-mill operations, using a mill for edging is the default.

To edge flitches using a sawmill:

Clamp multiple flitches to track bed, using log

supports to ensure flitches are perpendicular to track (see Figure 46). Take care that log clamp holds flitches tight against supports.

Cut to remove bark from the tallest flitches.

Cut as many flitches as possible without wasting excessive lumber (see Figure 46).

Quarter Sawing

Quarter sawing is any method of milling a log that produces primarily quartersawn lumber. In general, this produces a mixture of quartersawn and riftsawn lumber. Producing only quartersawn lumber can be time-consuming and leaves a lot of scrap.

The method below is relatively simple and produces quartersawn and riftsawn lumber. Many other methods exist—all with unique benefits and downsides. A sawyer should choose a method based on the log used, lumber needed, and personal preference.

To quarter-saw a log:

1. Inspect log and outline a sawing plan.

Consider orientation of log on track and where to start cutting to produce the best lumber. Mark planned cuts on end of log.

Rotate cant 90° and clamp to track bed, using

log supports to ensure cant is perpendicular to track (see Figure 50). Take care that log clamp holds cant tight against supports.

Cut a thin slab and remove it from cant (see

6. Figure 50). Discard slab.

Grease

Fitting

Cleaning the Model G0901 is relatively easy and should be done whenever the machine operation is finished for the day. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.

Lubrication

Most bearings on this machine, except for those with grease fittings, are sealed and permanently lubricated. Leave these bearings alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.

Apply light machine oil to the lift chain every 40 hours of use, prior to storage, or as needed. Clean machine thoroughly before applying oil. The goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too much lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust.

Tensioning/

Replacing V-Belts

2. Open blade cover and secure to blade cover

latch (see Figure 69).

The G0901 uses V-belts as tires on the blade wheels. The drive belt transfers power from the engine to the wheels. The blade and drive belt must be tensioned properly to ensure proper operation. It is essential that both drive belt and follower belt are free of cracks, fraying, and wear. V-belt condition and tension should be checked at least every 3 months —more often if the sawmill is used daily.

To replace the V-belts, you must remove the blade. After installation, you must re-tension the drive belt.

Adjusting Blade

Tracking

Rear of blade should also track about 1⁄32"–

⁄16" in front of roller flanges on blade guides

(see Figure 75).

Checking Blade Tracking

"Trac k ing " refers to how the blade rides on the sawmill wheels. Proper tracking is important for achieving correct blade tension and cutting accurately. Improper tracking reduces cutting accuracy, causes excess vibration, and places stress on the blade and other components. The orientation of the wheels in relation to each other determines how the blade tracks.

To check blade tracking:

1. DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE!

2. Open blade cover and secure to blade cover latch (see Figure 74).

. Rotate wheels by hand and observe blade

position. Blade should track on wheels so rear of blade is aligned with rear edge of V-belts (see Figure 74)

Adjusting Wheel Shaft Position

If blade tracking is out of alignment, the wheel shafts can be adjusted to change the angle of the wheels. Properly adjusted wheels should be parallel when the blade is tensioned.

If blade tracking appears to be out of alignment, we recommend first replacing the blade before adjusting blade shaft position. A worn belt can become "bell mouthed" and throw off wheel coplanarity just enough to cause problems. Guide rollers out of adjustment can make the blade wobble or wander. Before adjusting wheel shaft position, check all of these. The blade wheels were carefully factory set to be coplanar and parallel before your saw was shipped so adjusting wheel shaft position should be done as a last resort.
