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 motor 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 log bunks are 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 log supports.

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!

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. Serious injury or death can also occur from getting fingers, hair, or clothing entangled in moving parts if the machine is operated while the covers are open or guards are removed. 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 hard hat as needed.

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

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.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Always support/secure workpieces with log clamps and log supports before operation.

CLEARING SLABS & CANTS. Always turn machine OFF before clearing cut lumber and returning carriage to start position.

BLADE SPEED. Cutting workpiece before blade is at full speed could cause blade to grab workpiece and break blade. Allow blade to reach full speed before starting cut. DO NOT start machine with workpiece contacting blade.

BLADE CONTROL. To avoid risk of injury due to blade contact, always allow blade to stop on its own. DO NOT try to stop or slow blade with your hand or the workpiece.

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 machine, 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.

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.

Model G0960 (Mfd. Since 09/22)

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.

or equipment damage may occur if machine is not properly grounded and connected to power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result— especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the specified circuit requirements.

For your own safety and protection of

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

This machine can be converted to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the requirements listed below. (Refer to Voltage Conversion instructions for details.)

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must be in good condition and contain a ground wire and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must meet the following size requirements:

Grounding Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

For 110V operation: This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding plug (see following figure). The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

For 220V operation: The plug specified under “ page has a grounding prong that must be attached to the equipment-grounding wire on the included power cord. The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (see following figure) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Cleanup

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your machine. The time you spend doing this now will give you a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preventative, but the following steps work well in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning product you use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

Dust Collection

If connecting the machine to a dust collector, keep the square dust port cover installed. Removing this cover (see Figure 59) will allow saw dust to fall from the dust ports as the saw mill moves along the track for operations where a dust collector cannot be used.

Square Dust

Port Cover

This machine creates a lot of wood chips/ dust during operation. Breathing airborne dust on a regular basis can result in permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk by wearing a respirator and capturing the dust with a dust-collection system.

To connect dust collection system to machine:

Fit 4" dust hose over dust port and secure in

1. place with hose clamp (see Figure 60).

Figure 59. Location of square dust port cover.

Minimum CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

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 13". 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 chain saw 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.

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

Wear safety glasses when handling blade.

4. Adjust blade tension (see Tensioning Blade), blade tracking (see Adjusting Blade Tracking on Page 38), then adjust guides

(see Adjusting Blade Guides on Page 39).

A properly tensioned blade is essential for making accurate cuts, maximizing blade life, and making other 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.

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

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

Tracking

Checking Blade Tracking

"Trac ki ng " 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.

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

4. Rotate wheels by hand and observe blade

position. Blade should track in center of wheels and blade gullets should track about

⁄64" in front of blade guides (see Figure 69).

If blade tracking is out of alignment, the left wheel shaft can be adjusted.

If adjusting the wheel shaft does not improve blade tracking, adjust the blade guides, as blade guides out of adjustment can make the blade wobble or wander. If the blade is properly tensioned, the blade guides have been properly adjusted, and adjusting the wheel shaft still does not improve blade tracking, replace the blade. A worn blade can become "bell mouthed" and throw off wheel coplanarity just enough to cause problems.

Figure 77. Types of lumber taken from a log.

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.

adjustment screws.

Repeat Steps 2–4 on second blade guide

Model G0960 (Mfd. Since 09/22)

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.

-41-

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.

Drying Lumber

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.

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.

Figure 78. Example of live sawing a cant into

dimensional lumber.

Drying

Wood

Sticker

Figure 79. 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 48) 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.

Model G0960 (Mfd. Since 09/22)

Cant Sawing

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.

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. Cut slab from top of log to remove second slab.

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 clamps.

Cut slab from top of log and remove it (see

3. Figure 80).

Live Sawing

Cut Entire Log

Rotate log 180° and secure with log supports

and clamps (see Figure 85).

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 clamps.

Make first cut, then remove slab from log (see

3. Figure 84).

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

Continue to cut flitches from top to bottom

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

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 45.

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.

Figure 84. First cuts to live saw a log.

-44-

Model G0960 (Mfd. Since 09/22)

Edging

Repeat Steps 2–3 until all flitches have been

edged once (see Figure 87).

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:

1. Clamp multiple flitches to track bed, using log

supports to ensure flitches are perpendicular to track (see Figure 86). Take care that log clamps hold flitches tight against supports.

Cut to remove bark from the tallest flitches.

Cut as many flitches as possible without wasting excessive lumber (see Figure 86).

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 90). Take care that log clamps hold cant tight against supports.

Cut a thin slab and remove it from cant (see

6. Figure 90). Discard slab.

Tensioning/

Replacing V-Belt

3. Turn right blade cover lock knob clockwise to

open right blade cover (see Figure 107).

The V-belt transfers power from the motor to the wheels. The blade and V-belt must be tensioned properly to ensure proper operation. It is essential that the V-belt is 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-belt, you must remove the blade. After installation, you must re-tension the V-belt.

V-belt and pulleys will be hot after operations. Allow them to cool before checking tension or handling V-belt.

Wheel Alignment

The following adjustment was performed at the factory and should not need to be performed unless there is a wheel alignment problem, or one or more wheels are replaced.

When wheels are coplanar (see Figure 115), the saw mill is more likely to cut straight without wandering; and vibration, heat, and blade wear are considerably decreased because the blade is automatically balanced on the wheels.

Wheels parallel and coplanar.

SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-

nected to a power source is extremely dangerous. Touching electrified parts will result in personal injury including but not limited to severe burns, electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power from the machine before servicing electrical components!

MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire. This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.

WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must be tight to prevent wires from loosening during machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to ensure tight connections.

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow the requirements at the beginning of this manual when connecting your machine to a power source.

WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice that any wires or components are damaged while performing a wiring task, replace those wires or components.

MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in these diagrams is current at the time of printing but may not match your machine. If you find this to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the motor junction box.

CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors and power inverters store an electrical charge for up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from the power source. To reduce the risk of being shocked, wait at least this long before working on capacitors.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are experiencing difficulties understanding the information included in this section, contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
