Setup

Unpacking and Inspection

1. Carefully unpack all components from the packaging.
2. Verify that all parts listed in the packing list are present.
3. Inspect all components for any signs of damage incurred during shipping. Do not proceed with assembly if any damage is found; contact your supplier immediately.

Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your Holzmann MOBAS2 Mobile Sawmill:

1. Assemble the Track System: Connect the track sections securely. Ensure all fasteners are tightened to prevent movement during operation. The basic version provides a 2.10 m cutting length.
2. Attach the Supports: Mount the two log supports to the track system. These supports are crucial for stabilizing the log during cutting.
3. Install the Sawmill Carriage: Place the sawmill carriage onto the track. Ensure it glides smoothly along the track without excessive play.
4. Mount the Height Adjustment Column: Secure the column with the height adjustment crank and measuring scale to the carriage. This mechanism controls the cutting depth.
5. Attach the Control Handle: Fasten the control handle to the carriage. This handle provides a secure grip for guiding your chainsaw.
6. Integrate Your Chainsaw: Securely mount your compatible chainsaw to the sawmill carriage using the provided brackets. Ensure the chainsaw is firmly attached and aligned correctly for cutting.
7. Connect the Throttle Device: Attach the throttle device to your chainsaw's throttle mechanism and the sawmill's control handle. This allows for convenient throttle control from the handle.

After assembly, perform a final check to ensure all connections are tight and the system is stable.

Operating Instructions

Safety Precautions

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves, and sturdy footwear.
• Ensure the work area is clear of obstructions and bystanders.
• Never operate the sawmill under the influence of alcohol or medication.
• Before starting, check that all components are securely fastened and the chainsaw is properly mounted.
• Familiarize yourself with the chainsaw's safety features and operation before use with the sawmill.

Preparing the Log

1. Select a log with a maximum diameter of 400 mm.
2. Position the log securely on the two log supports. Ensure the log is stable and will not roll or shift during cutting.
3. Use additional wedges or clamps if necessary to further stabilize the log.

Setting the Cutting Depth

1. Use the height adjustment crank to raise or lower the chainsaw carriage.
2. Refer to the measuring scale on the column to set the desired cutting depth for your plank or beam.
3. Ensure the setting is locked in place before starting the cut.

Making a Cut

1. Start your chainsaw according to its manufacturer's instructions.
2. Engage the chainsaw blade using the throttle device on the control handle.
3. Using the control handle, slowly and steadily guide the chainsaw carriage along the track through the log. Maintain a consistent feed rate for a smooth cut.
4. Do not force the chainsaw; allow the blade to do the work.
5. Once the cut is complete, disengage the chainsaw blade and turn off the chainsaw.
6. Carefully remove the cut lumber and reposition the log for the next cut, adjusting the height as needed.

Maintenance

General Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the sawmill frame, tracks, and carriage to remove sawdust, resin, and debris. A brush and compressed air can be effective.
• Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the track rollers and height adjustment mechanism with a suitable lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
• Fastener Check: Regularly inspect all bolts, nuts, and fasteners for tightness. Tighten any loose connections to maintain structural integrity.
• Chainsaw Maintenance: Refer to your chainsaw's instruction manual for its specific maintenance requirements, including chain sharpening, oiling, and air filter cleaning.

Storage

Store the Holzmann MOBAS2 Mobile Sawmill in a dry, clean environment, protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, consider applying a thin layer of rust preventative to metal parts.
