START & STOP INSTRUCTIONS/ PETROL ENGINE

START
1. Open the fuel valve by moving the fuel control
lever to the right until it reaches the position ”ON”.
2. To start a cold engine, move the choke control
lever to closed position (the control lever in its left
position). To start a hot engine, leave the choke

its right position).
3. Turn the ignition key to the ”ON” position.
4. Gently pull the start handle until you feel some
resistace and then pull firmly. Gently return the
starter handle.
5. Give gas by squeezing the throttle handle all the
way in to its end position. This brings the engine
up to its operating speed and the band blade starts
rotating.
6. If the choke is in its closed position, gradually
move the control lever towards its open position as
the enging gets hotter.

STOP
You stop the band blade by releasing the throttle
on the push handle. The band blade will then slow
down and stop, and the engine goes down to idle.
Then, turn off the engine by turning the ignition key
to the ”OFF” position and close the fuel valve.

EMERGENCY STOP
Activate the emergency stop by pressing the
emergency stop button. The emergency stop has to
be reset after it has been used.

ADJUSTING THE CUT
You can adjust the position of the sawhead in steps
to set the depth of cut. The band sawmill B1001 is
equipped as standard with 1”, 1 1/2”, 1 3/4” and
2” scales with kerf compensation. The depth of cut
is set by using the crank on the sawhead. Crank the
sawhead down until the mark on the desired scale
comes in level with the pointer.

inside the log, you can increase the feed rate. Adjust
the feed rate so the cut becomes straight with a clean

when you come to the end of the log.

bark facing down.
When you are going to lift boards from the rails,
ensure that the saw carriage is in its locked position
at one of the rail ends. Then, move the sawn timber
to a timber stack. Place spacers between the layers
of boards to facilitate drying.

Rotate the log 90° so that one of the freshly sawn

sides rests flat against the log supports, and then
clamp the log in position.

19. When you have rotated the log the last time to
cut the last boards, you have to calculate where you
should take the cut to make the last cut agree with
the calculation. Check this by lowering the blade
until it rests against the log. Now you can read the
absolute scale to see the amount of wood left under
the blade. Set the sawhead to the desired height.

TIP: The easiest way is to wait to rotate the log until

there only remains material for one 2’’ board. If you
do so, there is no need for calculation.

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE
The regular maintenance that is expected to
be performed by the operator, is described in
this chapter. Be sure to perform the prescribed
maintenance intervals as this forms the basis for a
good functionality of the sawmill.

WARNING! Risk of serious injury:

Before performing any service or maintenance

on the machine: turn the ignition key to the
OFF position and close the fuel valve.

WARNING! Risk of cutting injuries:

Coiled band blades can unpredictably spring

apart with considerable force. Handle coiled
band blades with utmost care.

WARNING! Risk of fire:

Do not smoke or perform any work (welding,

sharpening blades, etc.) on the band sawmill
that can produce sparks or flames near the
engine, fuel tanks, fuel or other flammable
material.

If you spill fuel on the machine when refueling,

wipe this up immediately. If you get any fuel on
your clothes, change clothes immediately.

Never operate the engine if there is a fuel or

oil leak. Always turn the engine off before
refuelling.

step-by-step instructions while adjusting.

1 Order of adjustments

Good job!

To ensure good operation of the sawmill, it is important that it is correctly

adjusted. Some adjustments affect other machine settings. Due to this, it
is crucial that you follow the order outlined below.

1 Adjust the levelness of the rail frame

2 Adjust the band wheels

3 The lengthwise position of the blade / Adjust the lengthwise position of the blade

4 Adjust the parallelity between the band blade and the cross bunks

5 Adjust the adjustable blade guide horizontally

6 Adjust the parallelity between the band blade and the rails

7 The tension of the throttle wire

72
 B1001 BAND SAWMILL

ORDER OF ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUST THE LEVELNESS OF THE

RAIL FRAME
To ensure a good sawing result, it is important
that the rails are completely level. Earlier, we
have adjusted the levelness along the long sides
of the rail frame. Now the rail frame is to be
adjusted on its short sides. Place a spirit level on
a cross bunk and adjust the levelling feet until
the rails are on a level. Repeat this procedure on
all cross bunks until the rails are on a level along
the whole length of the rail frame.

8MM

Adjust the levelling feet by using an Allen key

from above. When the adjustment is done, you
secure the position of the feet by tightening the
lock nut inside the rail frame.

73
 ORDER OF ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUST THE BAND WHEELS

The angle of the band wheels has to be adjusted so that they are at right
angles to the cross bunks. With the sawhead in its lowest position, check
the perpendicularity between the band wheels and the cross bunks. A good
method is to place a set square on a straightedge that rests on two cross
bunks. Adjust by first loosening the lock nut and then turning the adjusting
screws on the top side of the band wheel shaft mountings until the band
wheels and the cross bunks are perpendicular to each other.
Tighten lock nuts and adjusting bolts.

PLACE THE SET SQUARE ON A STRAIGHTEDGE

ADJUST THE LENGTHWISE POSITION OF LOOSEN THE LOCK NUT

THE BLADE
The lengthwise position of the blade is adjusted by
the adjusting bolts that is positioned horizontally,
i.e. the bolts situated on the outside of the shaft
mountings. Before adjusting, the lock nut has to be
opened. If the blade moves outwards on the wheels,
turn the adjusting bolt clockwise to compensate.
If the blade moves inwards, turn the bolt counter-
clockwise. Adjust in small steps. Tighten all lock nuts
and adjusting screws after the adjustment.

TIP! You may need to loosen the adjusting bolts

slightly on the top side of the shaft mountings
before adjusting the blade.

ORDER OF ADJUSTMENTS

THE LENGTHWISE POSITION OF THE BLADE

The lengthwise position of the blade is crucial to the

sawing result. To ensure the best possible sawing result,
we recommend that the blade is positioned so that the
distance between the lowest part of the tooth and the front
edge of the band wheel is 3 mm. First, install the blade
according to this measurement. Then, tension the blade.
Rotate the wheels by hand and check that the lengthwise
position of the blade is unchanged. Rotate the wheels at
least three turns. If the blade moves outwards or inwards on
the wheels, you adjust this as described below in the next
section. If the blade runs straight on both band wheels,
close the band guards and start the sawmill. Throttle up to
make the wheels spin, then realease the throttle. Open the
blade guards and check that the lengthwise position of the 3MM
blade is unchanged. If this is the case, the adjustment is
correct.

TIGHTEN THE BLADE GUIDE ARM

To ensure good operation of the sawmill, it is important that

the blade guide arm runs without play in the blade guard
holder. Loosen the Allen bolt on the blade guard holder and
push the wheel down as in the illustration. Ensure that the
blade guide arm is aligned between the wheels and runs
without play.

ADJUST THE PARALLELITY BETWEEN THE BLADE GUIDE ARM AND THE BLADE

To adjust the parallelity between the blade guide arm and

the band blade, you loosen the three fixing bolts on the
outside of the blade guard holder. Then, adjust the parallelity
using the adjusting bolt on the rear plate.

ADJUST THE PARALLELITY BETWEEN THE BAND BLADE AND THE RAILS

To ensure good operation of the sawmill it is important that the blade is parallel to the rails. Place a
straightedge on the blade as close as possible to one of the blade guide rollers. The straightedge should rest
on a tooth that is not set. Now, measure from the lower front edge of the straightedge (measurement point
1) vertically down to a cross bunk. Note down the measurement. Move the sawhead forward and measure
from the rear edge of the straightedge down to the cross bunk (measurement point B). Compare the
measurements. They should be the same at measurement point 1 and measurement point 2.

If the measurements differ, turn the adjusting bolts on the blade guide until the measurements are the same
at both measurment points. One method to facilitate adjusting, is to use the value from measurement point
1, compare it with the value from measurement 2 and then, by raising or lowering the blade guide, adjust
half the difference at measurement point 2. When the blade is parallel to the rails, repeat the adjustment
steps on the other blade guide roller.

CHAIN TENSION

The crank handle chain has to be tensioned to ensure good

functioning of the lifting mechanism. First, untighten the
fixing bolt of the chain tensioner. Then, move the chain
tensioner towards the chain until the chain is slightly
tensioned. Tighten the bolting.

TRACK SWEEPERS

The saw carriage has track sweepers on its ends. It is important

that you regularly check that they touch the rails.

ADJUSTING THE CRANK SPRING

Tighten the lock nut to tension the spring so that

the handle easily springs back and locks in the
crank disc.

Check that the sawhead easily can be lowered

by pushing the crank handle in, and turning it
counter-clockwise.

Once the handle is in good working order, you

bend the lock washer to secure the lock nut in
position.

PREPARING THE ENGINE BEFORE STARTING UP

Before starting the engine for the first time, the engine has
to be filled with oil and fuel. Lower the sawhead to its lowest
position to facilitate the work. More detailed information on
the engine can be read in the user manual of the engine,
which is included in the shipment.

Tip: Work with the sawhead low-

ered to its lowest position to
facilitate access to the engine.

 THE FUNCTIONS OF THE SAWMILL

THE FUNCTION OF THE CRANK

The crank that is used for moving the sawhead up and

down is spring loaded, and has to be pushed inward
to release the locking mechanism while you are raising
or lowering the sawhead.

1/8
360 = 1 inch

The locking mechanism of the crank is divided in eight steps per revolution. Each step moves the sawhead by
1/8’’, and one full revolution represents 1’’.

On the crank shaft, there is an opening where you can see numbers on a scale. This scale has eight steps,
where each step is 1/8’’. TIP: When a board is cut above the blade, you have to compensate for the kerf, i.e.
1/8’’. The wood piece below the blade never needs to be kerf compensated. It has the same measurement
that is shown on the absolute scale on the front leg of the carraige.

This is how you use the crank scale when adjusting depth of cut
Example 1: If you are going to cut a 1’’ board and the crank scale shows the number ”3”, you first turn the
crank one full revolution and stop at ”3”, then you turn the crank one step (1/8”) to number”4”.

Example 2: To cut a 2’’ board starting from “3” on the scale, turn the crank two revolutions and stop at ”4”

Example 3: To cut a 3/4’’ board starting from “3” on the scale, lower 6/8 + one step to compensate for the kerf and
stop at “2”.

THE FUNCTIONS OF THE SAWMILL

BLADE GUIDES

The blade guides tension the blade so that it comes

3 mm below the band wheels.

The blade guides can adjust the angle of the blade,

measured in the direction of the cut, by adjusting the
top and bottom adjusting bolts.

The blade guides must be adjusted so that they are

parallel to the back of the blade. This is done by
adjusting the outer and inner adjusting bolts. It is crucial
that the blade guides run parallel to the blade. Be
careful to adjust this correctly.

The blade guide can be adjusted inwards and outwards by

pulling or pushing its shaft after the adjusting bolts have
been loosened. The back of the blade should be approx.
3-5 mm from the rear edge of the blade guide roller.

PARKING LOCK

The sawmill is equipped with two catches that

lock the saw carriage when it reaches one of
the ends of the rails. To realese the parking
lock you lift the catches with your foot before
moving the saw carriage.

LOG CLAMPS

The sawmill comes with two log clamps that secure

the log on the sawmill. The log clamp is an eccentric
clamping device.

First, set the eccentric plate so that it lies against the log.
This is done by turning the eccentric plate clockwise.
Then, to secure the log, you turn the handle on the
clamp clockwise, as shown in the illustration. To release
the tension, carry out the steps in reverse order and turn
the plate and the handle counter-clockwise.

 THE FUNCTIONS OF THE SAWMILL

WATER COOLING ON/OFF

The water cooling of the blade is controlled by a

lever located on the side plate at the operator side.
In its starting position, the lever points at a right
angle from the side plate. To release the water flow,
the lever is pulled back. The flow of the water cool-
ing is controlled by moving the cooling tube in the
narrowing slot in the motor bracket. Move the tube
inwards or outwards in the slot until you reach the
desired cooling level.
