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.

INSTALLATION
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.

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.

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.

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.
FIG. 64
The Saw Unit’s Height Adjustment
Maintenance procedures on the components listed below are necessary in order to assure the bandsaw blade’s vertical adjustment.
Runners (12)
The guides that locate the saw unit should be wiped clean and moistened with oil as required.
Screws (19), sprocket (A), and chain (B)
The screws should be wiped clean as required. The drive chain that links both the height
adjustment screws should be oiled once a year. To oil the chain proceed as follows: Loosen the cover on the short side of the chain guard. Crank back and forth, about 20 turns in each direction, while spraying oil on the chain. Use a cloth to wipe up any excess oil.
