to do so may result in serious injury. Be sure the blade
housing cover is in place and secured.

NOTE: After aligning the blade on the wheels, always check the blade guide spacing and
location.

2.7 Saw Head Height Adjustment

You can raise or lower each individual saw head to determine the thickness of the
finished stock. The saw heads should be adjusted so that the last blade the material
passes through is closest to the feed track.

Example: You want to cut cants into 12.5 mm (1/2”) pallet material. Assuming your resaw
has six cutting heads, you will need to adjust each head in 14.0 mm (35/64”) increments
up from the feed track. This will allow 1.5 mm (1/16”) kerf for each blade.

See Figure 2-13. The sixth saw head (the last one the material will pass through) should
be adjusted to 12.5 mm (1/2”) above the feed track. The fifth head should be adjusted to

26.5 mm (1 3/64”) above the track, the fourth head to 40.5 mm (1 19/32”), etc....

FIG. 2-13

1. Install a blade if needed and check for correct blade tension. (See Section 2.4

2. Set the saw head at the desired height. (The blade height scale shows the height of the

blade above the feed track.)

Operation

Machine Start

See Figure 2-20. The speed at which the feed track moves is adjustable. The feed track
speed switch, located on the control panel, allows the operator to adjust the feed rate
from 0 to ca. 20 m (66 ft) per minute.

2

FIG. 2-20

Turn the switch clockwise to increase the feed rate, counterclockwise to slow the feed
rate down.

Factors that will determine what feed rate you can use include:

Number of saw heads.

Width of material to be cut. 200mm (7 7/8”) wide material will require a slower

feed rate than 100mm (3 15/16“) wide material.

Hardness of material to be cut. Some woods that are seasoned or naturally very

hard will require slower feed rates.

Sharpness of blades. Dull or improperly sharpened blades will require slower

feed rates than sharp and properly maintained blades.

Off-bearing capability. Your ability to feed end-to-end will also determine what

feed rate you can use.

2.11 Water Lube Operation

Standard Lube System (Supplied from a Water Supply Network)

The Water Lube System keeps the blade clean. It is supplied from a water-pipe network
(minimum pressure 0.35bar [0,05MPa], maximum 6bar [0.6MPa]). Water flows though a
hose, a solenoid and a manual valve to the blade guide where the blade enters the log.
The manual valve located on each saw head controls the amount of water flow.

See Figure 2-21. Connect the water hose to the lube system fitting shown below.

Optional Lube System (Supplied from Water Tanks)

See Figure 2-23. The Water Lube System keeps the blade clean. Water flows from a
5-gallon (18.9 liter) bottle through a hose to the blade guide where the blade enters the
log. A valve in the bottle cap controls the amount of water flow.

FIG. 2-23

Not all types of wood require the use of the Water Lube System. When it is needed, use
just enough water to keep the blade clean. This saves water, and lowers the risk of
staining the boards with water. Usual flow will be 1-2 gallons (3.8-7.6 liters) per hour
(on average, the bottle content is sufficient for 4-hour-long cutting). A squirt of liquid
dishwashing detergent in the water bottle will help clean the blade when cutting wood with
a high sap content. Before you start cutting, check the water level in the bottle.

WARNING! Use ONLY water with the water lube

accessory. Never use flammable fuels or liquids. If these
types of liquids are necessary to clean the blade, remove it
and clean with a rag. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury or death.

Before removing the blade, start the blade motor with the START button. Let the blade
spin with water running on it for about 15 seconds. This will clean the blade of sap
buildup. Wipe the blade dry with a rag before storing or sharpening.

If you are sawing in freezing temperatures, remove the water lube bottle from the resaw
when done sawing and store it in a warm place. Blow any remaining water from the water
lube hose.

General Information

SECTION 3 MULTISETWORKS OPERATION (OPTIONAL

EQUIPMENT)

3.1 General Information

A new Multisetwork has been designed to automatically set the saw heads at any required height.

It can be mounted on HR500 and HR700 resaw.

Saw head height is measured continuously and its accuracy depends on condition of the up/down

system and feed track.

Multisetwork includes programmable PLC controller, incremental encoder, programmable control

panel, motor breakers, frequency converters and limit switches.

3.2 Functions

Multisetwork can work in two modes:

 MANUAL – each saw head can be set by the operator separately, kerf is not included.

 X-BOARD – the saw heads are set automatically according to pre-selected board thickness

values - first saw head is set on the highest calculated height, the last saw head is set on the

lowest calculated height. Blade kerf loss is included.

 The values can be displayed in metric or imperial (decimal or fractional) units of measure.

 There are two languages of the menu: Polish and English,

 Diagnostic mode.

 Tuning mode.
