There are several things that can cause this problem:
Your wheels are misaligned – To adjust them, refer to the “Adjusting the Wheel Position” section in your user manual.
Your drive belts are worn – Replace them.
There is play in a wheel – Tighten and lubricate the wheel bearing. To do this, refer to the “Tightening and Lubricating Wheel Bearings” section in your user manual.
There are two things you can do if a wheel is loose:
Tighten the bolt – To do this, refer to the “Tightening and Lubricating Wheel Bearings” section in your user manual.
Check for a damaged bearing – If you find one, replace it.
There may be two possibilities: either the winch solenoid is faulty, or the winch itself is defective.
The main cause of this problem is a faulty winch limit switch (microswitch).
Maintenance, including lubrication, should be performed at least every 40 hours of use.
The first engine oil change should be done around 20 hours of use or after the first month, whichever comes first. After that, it should be done every 100 hours or every 6 months.
We recommend referring to the “Maintenance Schedule” section of your user manual for more detailed information.
There are several things that can cause this problem:
The fuel tank is empty – Fill it with gasoline with an octane rating of at least 89.
The oil level is too low – Add engine oil. In summer, most small engines use 10W30. In winter, it is recommended to use a thinner oil such as 5W30. Always refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual for the correct oil type and required amounts.
The fuel line is clogged – Check it and clean it if necessary.
The fuse is blown – Replace it.
The battery is discharged or defective – Recharge or replace the battery as needed.
The engine carburetor is faulty – Have it repaired or replaced if necessary.
Check the hydraulic oil level – If it is too low, add hydraulic oil.
Check for micro leaks in the tensioner’s hydraulic system – A good way to identify a possible leak is to look for small sawdust balls. Their location indicates the position of the micro leaks, if any.
The tensioner’s seal may be faulty – Replace it if necessary.
It is very likely that your blade guide bearing is worn or defective. Replacing the bearing should solve your problem.
We recommend using cutting oil at a rate of 2 ounces per water tank. The use of dish soap, Pine Sol, or any other cleaning products is strongly discouraged, as these are degreasers, not lubricants.
The main cause of this problem is a worn blade guide roller. To fix the issue, you will need to replace the blade guide.
No. Here are a few possible solutions:
The tension may be too high – To adjust it, refer to the “Blade Tension Adjustment” section in your user manual.
The blade may be slipping on the blade guides – Make sure the blade guides are turning properly.
The blade may be slipping on the wheels – Replace the drive belt.
There may be insufficient lubrication on the blade – Check the flow and increase it if necessary. Also, make sure the lubricant dispenser is properly positioned.
If your boards are uneven, this indicates two things:
Your sawmill is not level – We suggest leveling your jacks using a front bubble and a level at the rear. Once level, you can lower the legs.
Your blade tension is too high or too low – Check the blade tension. To adjust it, refer to the “Blade Tension Adjustment” section of our user manual.
Lines on your boards can be caused by two things:
Blade tension is too high or too low – Check your blade tension. To adjust it, refer to the “Blade Tension Adjustment” section of our user manual.
The blade is worn or damaged – Sharpen or replace your blade.
There may be two reasons why your cutting head is not rolling properly:
The rollers are misaligned or worn – Check the roller angles and make sure that none of the bolts on each wheel are bent.
The rails are dirty or damaged – Clean the rails and replace them if necessary.
It is not normal for your cutting head to have difficulty sliding up and down. The stainless steel posts of the cutting head are likely lacking lubrication. We recommend using Sinto MAXEP lubricant (SI-0003). Never apply grease to these posts except before storing the machine for an extended period.
Check that the saw valve engages properly – Replace it if necessary.
Check that the safety valve opens and closes correctly – Replace it if necessary.
Check that the saw valve engages properly – Replace it if necessary.
Check that the safety valve opens and closes correctly – Replace it if necessary.
Check the splitter’s relief valve and adjust the pressure as needed.
No, this is not normal. There may be a problem with the actuator cable – check the actuator cable and tighten the nuts to increase tension, replacing it if necessary.
To increase the saw’s downward speed, you need to add air to the air tank.
Replace the chain.
Check the air pressure for the descent – Add air to the air tank if necessary.
Check that the saw valve engages properly – Replace it if necessary.
Check that the safety valve opens and closes correctly – Replace it if necessary.
Check the chain oil level – Add chain oil if necessary.
Open the tank valve to increase the flow if needed.
Check the automatic lubrication valve to see if oil reaches the block and adjust the flow valve. – If neither of these actions resolves the problem, open the block and clean the piston.
