INSTALLATION
Propulsion
1. Place the engine/motor on the engine/motor
console and attach the drive belt.
FIG 29
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.
FIG 30
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 ad-
justed 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).
FIG X
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 faste-
ner near the clutch and therefore increases the
engine speed before the clutch is engaged.
FIG 31
Petrol Engine
Connect the cable from the covers’ safety switch
(22) to the contact (FIG. 29 D) on the engine.
Electric Motor
Connect the cable from the covers’ safety switch
to the contact on the distribution box (FIG. 32 A).
The contact for the electrical cable for the electric
motor has polarity reversal (31). Make sure that
the main switch (34) is set to 0.
FIG 32
WARNING!
Check that the main switch is
set to 0, and be sure to invert
the phase if the sawmill runs in
the wrong direction.

Bandsaw Blade
FIG. 33
WARNING!
Wear protective gloves whenever
you handle the bandsaw blade!
On delivery a new bandsaw blade
is rolled up and is in a state of
high mechanical tension. Care-
fully unpack the bandsaw blade
so that it does not fly out and
cause physical injury!
!
Only bandsaw blades with the part number
531 0194-65 may be used.
FIG. 34
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) anticlock-
wise 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).
FIG. 35
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.
FIG. 36
6. Tension the belt FIG. 35 by pulling the han-
dle 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.

FIG. 39
Fuel Safety
WARNING!
The fuel used in the one-man
sawmill has the following
hazardous properties:
!
1. The fluid, its vapour, and its
exhaust fumes are poison-
ous.
2. Can cause skin irritation.
3. Is highly inflammable.
The following are absolutely forbidden when
fuelling:
•
•
Smoking.
To have flames or hot objects in close
proximity.
•
To have the engine running.
Petrol
Use leaded or unleaded petrol. The lowest
recommended octane grade is 90. If you run the
engine on a lower octane grade than 90, so-
called knocking can occur. This leads to an
increased engine temperature, which can result
in serious engine damage.
Fuelling
1. Clean around the fuel cap.
2. Open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess
pressure is released.
3. Tighten the fuel cap carefully after fuelling.
Clean the fuel tank regularly. The fuel filter should
be changed at least once a year. Contamination
in the fuel tanks causes malfunction.

MAINTENANCE
Bandsaw Blade
FIG. 54
WARNING!
The bandsaw blade is sharp and
can cause cuts. Warning for
personal injury. Wear protective
gloves whenever you handle the
bandsaw blade.
min. 24 mm
!
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.
FIG. 55
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.
WARNING!
Never use a damaged bandsaw
blade.
!
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.

MAINTENANCE
Saw Setting Pliers
FIG. 56
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
FIG. 57
WARNING!
The bandsaw blade is sharp
and can cause cuts. Warning
for personal injury. Wear
protective gloves whenever
you handle the bandsaw blade.
!
After sharpening, the bandsaw blade should be
set as described in the instructions on the
previous page.
FIG. 58
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.
FIG. 59
Angles
The clearance angle should be 10-12° and the
cutting angle (F) varies depending on the spe-
cies of wood as follows:
Hardwoods or frozen timber
Medium hardwoods
Softwoods
7°
10°
14°
Before sharpening, the bandsaw blade’s teeth
should be set using the saw setting pliers.
FIG. 60
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
FIG. 61
foundation’s working geometry will have stabili-
sed. 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.
FIG. 62
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.
Drive Belt (FIG. 63)
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 distri-
bution 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.

5. Check the Safety Switch Function.
The Saw Unit’s Height
Adjustment
FIG. 65
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.
