INSTALLATION
Saw Carriage Adjustment
The saw carriage is aligned on the rails by fitting
its lower guide wheels and rail guards. The lower
guide bearings have the task of preventing the
saw carriage from tilting and the rail guards keep
the rails and the saw carriage’s wheels free from
dirt and the like. Assembled on the saw carriage
are:
• Two lower guide wheels
• Four rail guards.
Assembly is done as follows:
1. Fix the guide wheel’s bracket in place with a
screw. Place a 0.2 mm feeler gauge between
the bearing and rail.
2. Press the bearing against the rail and tighten
the bearing bracket screw. Tightening torque:
40-50 Nm. Now remove the feeler gauge.
3. Carry out 1-2 above for the remaining guide

INSTALLATION
Propulsion
1. Place the engine/motor on the engine/motor
console and attach the drive belt.
2. Bolt the engine/motor (petrol or electric) onto
the engine/motor console.
3. Connect the cable to the clutch control arm
(A).
4. Attach the mounting for the drive disc (B), so
that the clutch does not rotate.
5. Tighten the belt with the belt tension device
(FIG. 31 A). A correctly adjusted belt can be
moved 0.5 cm with one finger (FIG. 31 B). If
necessary, adjust the engine/motor console
mounted in the lengthways slot to attain the
correct belt tension.
6. Connect the cable to the start lever (FIG. 30
E), check that the clutch is activated. When
the start lever (FIG 30 F) is activated, the
spring in the control arm on the clutch shall
be lightly compressed.
Wire adjustment
The wire that engages the clutch must be adjusted so that there is no pressure on the clutch
arm that is connected to the clutch. The easiest
way to do this is to adjust the wire so that it is
completely slack when the clutch is not engaged.
Adjustment is by means of the adjuster nipples
on the starter yoke and the engine bracket (FIG
30 G and FIG X A).
It is also important that the attachment to the
clutch is able to swing (FIG X B). The spring in
the fastener prevents excessive leverage being
applied to the clutch arm.
On saw mills with four-stroke engines, the wire
connected to the engine is adjusted using nipple
(FIG X), so that the throttle lever is activated by
the swinging motion (FIG X B) of the wire fastener near the clutch and therefore increases the
engine speed before the clutch is engaged.

Bandsaw Blade
WARNING!
Wear protective gloves whenever
!
Only bandsaw blades with the part number
531 0194-65 may be used.
Fit the bandsaw blade as follows:
1. Remove the guards over the band wheels.
The guards are attached by three rubber
straps, one upper, one lower, and one in the
middle.
2. Crank the band tension crank (27) anticlockwise so that the distance between the band
wheels is as small as possible.
3. Loosen the crank (FIG. 33A), drop the band
guard (23), and attach the bandsaw blade
with the teeth facing. Make sure that the
bandsaw blade enters the adjustable band
guide (8) and the fixed band support (FIG.
33B).
4. Release the belt tensioner by loosening the
belt idler from the engine/motor. See FIG. 34.
5. Tension the bandsaw blade using the crank
(27) until the spring washers are correctly
compressed. See FIG. 36A. Turn the
bandsaw wheels a few turns by hand, so that
the bandsaw blade centres on the band
wheels. CAUTION! It is important that the
bandsaw blade is not tensioned too much so
that the washers are completely compressed.
See FIG. 36B. The washers should have a
degree of springiness to take up variations in
band tension. Incorrect band tension (too
hard or too loose) means that the bandsaw
blade runs a risk of roaming and coming
loose from the band wheel.
6. Tension the belt FIG. 35 by pulling the handle so that the idler tightens the drive belt.
Lock it. A correctly adjusted belt can be
moved 0.5 cm with one finger.
7. Adjust the band guide’s blocks by loosening
the bolts 1 and 2 (FIG. 33). Adjust the blocks
from both directions so that they lie lightly
against the band.
8. Fold up the band guard (23).
9. Position the guards over the band wheels
and secure them with the rubber straps.
Ensure that the safety keys are in the tracks.

MAINTENANCE
Bandsaw Blade
WARNING!
!
The bandsaw blade should be set and sharpened
regularly to give optimal performance. During
normal sawing of most species of wood this
should be done at intervals of approx. 2 hours of
effective cutting time. Effective cutting time
refers to only the time that the bandsaw blade
actually works. The bandsaw blade should be
sharpened more frequently when cutting those
species of wood with a high sand content. For
blade sharpening, see the separate instructions
for the Grindlux bandsaw blade grinder.
Dismantling
Dismantle the bandsaw blade as follows:
1. Remove the guards over the band wheels.
See page 21.
2. Loosen the right-hand band wheel by
cranking about 10 turns counter-clockwise.
3. Carefully remove the bandsaw blade.
Cleaning and inspection
Clean sawdust and any coating from the bandsaw
blade. Now check whether there are any cracks
(A) in the gullets. Small cracks can be ground
away when sharpening the bandsaw blade. If the
cracks are so large that they cannot be ground
away , the bandsaw blade should be discarded.
Cracks in the gullets are the most common cause
of bandsaw blade breakage. The bandsaw blade
can be ground to a minimum width of 24 mm. See
FIG. 54. A new bandsaw blade is 32 mm wide.
The bandsaw blade should be discarded once
any part of it reaches the minimum width.
The bandsaw blade is sharp and
can cause cuts. Warning for
personal injury. Wear protective
gloves whenever you handle the
bandsaw blade.
FIG. 54

FIG. 55
WARNING!
!
Setting the Saw
The bandsaw blade’s teeth should be set to the
dimensions shown in the adjoining figure. Every
third tooth should remain unset. The teeth
should be set as follows:
B=Set to the right, 0.4-0.5 mm.
C=Set to the left, 0.4-0.5 mm
D=Not set.
The more accurate the set is made, the straighter
and smoother the bandsaw blade runs when
cutting the log. The bandsaw blade should be set,
at a minimum, after every third sharpening.
30 – English
Never use a damaged bandsaw
blade.
MAINTENANCE
Saw Setting Pliers
For optimal results the bandsaw blade should be
set using the saw setting pliers as described on
page 30.
The saw setting pliers are adjusted to the correct
setting size.
Place the saw setting pliers over the saw tooth
so that the pliers’ fixing angles rest on the two
closest teeth.
Activate the pliers and the saw tooth will be set
away from the operator.
FIG. 56
English – 31
MAINTENANCE
Sharpening
WARNING!
The bandsaw blade is sharp
!
After sharpening, the bandsaw blade should be
set as described in the instructions on the
previous page.
The more accurate the sharpening, the straighter
and smoother the bandsaw blade runs when
cutting the log.
Radii
The radius in the area (A) should be 1-3 mm.
A radius under 1 mm increases the risk of
cracking.
A radius over 3 mm means that the chips are not
broken.
Angles
The clearance angle should be 10-12° and the
cutting angle (F) varies depending on the species of wood as follows:
and can cause cuts. Warning
for personal injury. Wear
protective gloves whenever
you handle the bandsaw blade.
FIG. 57
FIG. 58
FIG. 59
Hardwoods or frozen timber 7°
Medium hardwoods 10°
Softwoods 14°
Before sharpening, the bandsaw blade’s teeth
should be set using the saw setting pliers.
The rake angle should be 90°. See the figure to
the right.
Shape of the Tooth
As the bandsaw blade is sharpened it is
important that the teeth and tooth valleys keep
their original shape.
For optimal results, the bandsaw blade should
be sharpened with the grinder. The procedure is
described on the following pages.
On delivery, the grinder is adjusted for the
correct angles and tooth shape.

MAINTENANCE
Band Wheel Adjustment
After the one-man saw has been used for a long
period, the band wheel bearings will start to wear
and change position. Meanwhile, the
foundation’s working geometry will have stabilised. This means the parallelism of the band
wheels may need to be adjusted.
Adjustment is performed as follows:
1. Ensure that the electric power has been
disconnected. Unplug the electrical contact
or short-circuit the petrol engine.
2. Loosen the belt tension by releasing the idler
to the V-belt, so that the band wheel is free
and can be rotated by hand.
3. The bandsaw blade should be fitted and
adjusted.
4. Adjust the right-hand band wheel using the
screw (F). The screw is locked with a lock
nut, which should be loosened during
adjustment.
5. Check the alignment of the bandsaw blade
after adjustment by rotating the band wheel
by hand.
6. See FIG. 61 for the correct position.
7. If the bandsaw blade is not aligned, adjust
the right band wheel with the spacer located
on the outside of the band wheel. The wheel
is dismantled and the spacer is placed on the
innermost part of the wheel axle and the
wheel is then re-mounted. Repeat steps 2 to
5 until the bandsaw blade is aligned.
FIG. 61
FIG. 62
Drive Belt (FIG. 63)
The drive belt wears as the saw is used. The belt
should be replaced after 200 hours of operation
to avoid belt failure during operation. If the drive
slips or the belts need to be frequently adjusted,
this is a sign that the belts need to be replaced.
To replace the belt, proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the electrical contact from the distribution box or short-circuit the petrol engine.
2. Loosen the belt guard.
3. Loosen the idler (A) completely with the
locking lever (B).
4. Change the belt and then tighten the belt by
pulling the handle (C) and tightening the idler
(A) and locking the idler with the locking lever
(B). When the belt is correctly tensioned, it
should be possible to move it about 0.5 cm in
each direction using one finger.
5. Attach the belt guard.
FIG. 63
English – 33
MAINTENANCE
Checking the Braking Function
For the one-man saw to meet safety
requirements, the braking function must be
checked at least once per week. Check the
braking function in the following way:
1. Start the sawmill motor/engine.
2. Start the bandsaw blade with the control unit
(4).
3. Release the control unit and the bandsaw
should stop within 5 seconds.
4. If the bandsaw blade does not stop within the
prescribed time, the unit is not to be used
until the braking function clutch is repaired.
Contact your local dealer.
5. Check the Safety Switch Function.
