Preface

You are now the owner of a Logosol M7 WoodWorkers Mill, the result of our collective experience and dedicated efforts since 1988. There are currently more than fifteen thousand Logosol Sawmill in use in Sweden and the rest of the world, making the Logosol Portable sawmills the top seller world-wide.

The goal for Logosol’s development effort is to design smaller and lighter machines that solve a task intelligently, but without lowering the quality of the finished product. To top it off, Logosol products must be affordably priced so as to make them available to everyone working with wood.

Logosol produces a large range of products, enabling a single person to handle the entire production chain from forest felling to finished product.

In addition to various sized sawmills, the range includes such products as a multisided planer providing exellent profiling. For more information on Logosol products and accessories, send for our catalog.

In closing, I wish you much enjoyment and success with your future Woodworking projects.

Safety rules

There are special safety rules to follow and dangers to be aware of when working with the Logosol M7 WoodWorkers Mill.

other than the operator is 8 m (26 feet) from all sides except where the logs are rolled in. The safety distance from this side is 15 m (50 feet), due to the danger of the chain being thrown out if it breaks.

Always wear authorized personal protective

clothing and equipment.

Close-fitting working overalls are the appropriate garment – never wear loose items, worker’s jackets or the like.

This symbol points to dangers. However, since all risks are not marked, you must read the entire text.

This symbol calls for additional attention to the text.

Read through this whole manual carefully before using

the M7. Failure to observe these safety instructions may result in fatal injury.

Make sure that every person who uses the machine is well informed of the dangers and has read the entire manual. The manual must also be available to everyone using the sawmill. This is also necessary if the machine is sold or loaned out.

Read the manual and safety rules for the particular sawing unit used on the M7.

Minors under age 18 should not be allowed to operate the M7.

Make sure that children and animals are kept at a safe distance.

Anyone working with the Logosol M7 WoodWorkers Mill must be well-rested, healthy and in good physical condition. Take regular breaks while working and never operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol, other drugs or medicines that might cause drowsiness or in-attention.

Work only in when the light is good – never in darkness, fog or the like.

Whenever you add extra equipment to the M7 sawmill, use products made by Logosol or specifically approved by Logosol for the purpose. Other equipment can cause accidents and thus should not be used. Logosol will not accept liability for personal injury or material damage incurred while using unauthorized attachments.

Should a sawing unit weighing more than 15 kg (33 lbs) be used, support legs must be fitted under the guide rail ends in order to avoid tipping.

Do not wear a neckerchief, tie, jewellery or other items that can get caught in the equipment.

Use safety shoes with high-grip soles and steel toecaps.

Wear a safety helmet with hearing protection and a face shield.

Remember that hearing can

be damaged after relatively short exposure to the high frequency sounds from the motor and the cutting equipment.

Protective goggles are also required as a face shield used alone will not provide sufficient protection for the eyes.

Wear strong gloves. There is an injury risk whenever you handle

the chain and the cutting equipment can be hot after sawing .

Never reach over or under the guide rail during operation. The cutting equipment can cause severe injuries.

While the Logosol WoodWorkers Mill is a oneperson machine, be sure that there are other persons within hailing distance. The proper safety distance for persons

When using a petrol-driven chain-saw:

Fire danger – Turn the

motor off before filling with petrol. Petrol is extremely flammable! Burns can cause death! If you spill any fuel, clean off any parts involved. If you get fuel on your clothing, change immediately.

Close the tank lid as tightly as possible in order to reduce the risk of it coming loose due to vibrations during sawing.

Never operate the chain-saw with the throttle lever locked. Always operate the throttle manually.

Do not use a ripping chain

for cross-cuts as this

increases the danger of

kickback.

Before using the M7:

Check the condition of the lifting lines especially carefully, replacing them at the slightest sign of wear. Check that all bolts and lock nuts on the log bed lifting unit and the locking system are tight and that all moving parts move freely.

Service:

The M7 sawmill must be checked regularly and maintained as needed. Perform only the maintenance and repairs specified in the manual. Other repairs must be done by Logosol or by authorized Logosol dealers. Do not make any alterations in the construction of the sawmill as this can increase the accident risk. After service, the M7 sawmill should be returned to its original condition. Logosol accepts no liability for damage that occurs while working on an improperly modified machine.

During operation:

To avoid tipping, never place the machine at an angle while operating. The

M7 should be fastened directly to the floor or be placed on a bedding of planks in order to increase the contact surface (follow the manual).

Hold the crank firmly whenever raising or lowering a log. If released, the crank may spin back and hit your hand.

Do not saw logs that are so short that they do not extend

0.2 m (app. 10 “) outside each log bed. A shorter log could fall

when the log beds are raised.

The overall max. load capacity of the M7 is 500 kg (1100 lbs). The 2.5 m extension increases the capacity by 250 kg (550 lbs) for each extension with a lifting unit.

Always stand to the right of the chain-saw while it is operating. When a chain or

band breaks, it is thrown out through the chip outlet. Keep the worksite free of tools, pieces of wood, chips and other items you can trip on. Turn the chain-saw off after each cut. Do not leave the M7 sawmill unattended where unauthorized persons might start it.

To avoid tipping, check that the M7 stands level and is well fastened in the bedding.

To avoid chain breaks, check that the cutting equipment is correctly assembled.

To avoid kickbacks when starting, check that the chain-saw is correctly positioned on the guide rail.

Do not place your hand inside the long leg while raising or lowering the log.

Should the lifting line snap or the crank spin, your hand may be caught.

Logs must always be rolled on to the sawmill level with the horizontal beam. Do not lift logs from ground level directly onto the sawmill as this can cause injury if the machine tips or the log falls.

ALWAYS

REMEMBER that should

any type of problem occur, stop sawing and turn off the chain-saw. Most accidents with dangerous machines happen when something goes wrong and the operator attempts to fix it while the machine is still running. A stop seldom shows up on the finished product.

Description Assembly

- Because of the high quality and precision construction, none of the angles need setting. The only parts to adjust are the guide rail and the height of log bed, in all three bolts.

- All aluminium components are anodized, creating a wearing surface as tough as tempered steel. It has a low friction coefficient and is easy to keep free of pitch and chips.

- Adjustable legs make it easy to compensate for uneven sites.

- The M7 has a double rachet mechanism enabling a simple shift by hand between 1/4” (6.25 mm) and 1/8” (3.12 mm) increments.

- Clear scales show the height of the log bed. Extra measuring rods are available as accessories to show sawing height settings.

- The knee joint on the front leg has a non-slip surface that facilitates log handling. The joint also has a mounting hole for ramps, log tables and the like.

- The cross beam between the short legs is a significant stabilization factor.

- No maintenance is needed. The crank axle runs through maintenance-free bronze bearings, the slide rails use lowfriction plastic that has a working life of several years thanks to the superbly smooth surface anodization.

- The settings for sawing parallel to the grain of conical logs are quick and simple.

- All accessories for M7 sawmill fits the M7 WoodWorkers Mill as well.

The M7 is designed for simple assembly and adjustment, mainly because there are fewer parts and assembly steps than were needed in earlier models. Most of the aluminium parts are anodized making it easier to force the bolts through the profile holes. Assemble the M7 on a surface that will not scratch the surface treatment.

Save time by reading the

entire assembly instruction before beginning to work. Then follow the instructions step by step.

Whenever this symbol

appears, tighten bolt loosely to allow some movement. When there is no symbol, tighten the bolts well.

Assembly: frame

The right and left leg units of the frame are assembled in the same way. The bolts listed

below are for one leg unit.

(1) Fit the horizontal beam to

the short leg using the corner fitting. Be careful not to damage the bevelled faces before assembly. (4 x M6x20 bolts, 4 x M6 collar nuts)

(2) Fit the horizontal beam to the long leg. The scale plate is fitted to the long leg using the two lower bolts.

Tighten all four bolts loosely to allow the beams

to move somewhat in relation to each other. (4 x M6x20 collar bolts, 4 x M6 collar nuts)

(3) Fit the angle fitting to the long leg and to the underside of the horizontal beam. First tighten the four bolts on the angle fitting loosely, gradually tightening them all the way. In this way the frame will be set at exactly 90°. (4 x M6x20 collar bolts, 4 x M6 collar nuts)

Finally tighten the bolts between the horizontal beam and the long leg. (2)

(4) Fit the sawmill feet, turning them so that the holes in the foot and the leg form a cross and that they lie correctly in the leg tracks. (4 x M8x25 allen head bolts, 4 x M8 nuts, 4 x M8 washers)

(A) Assemble the pulley, see picture. (1x M6 collar nut)
