User Manual for Logosol Pro Feed 12V

Quick Guide

The Logosol Pro Feed 12V is a feed unit designed for band sawmills. Before operating, ensure you have read the safety instructions, verified the power supply, and confirmed that the chain is correctly aligned between the gears. Always ensure the safety guards are closed, as the machine is equipped with an interlock safety switch.

Safety Instructions

WARNING: Incorrect use can result in serious or fatal injuries. Always wear approved personal protective equipment, including hearing protection, safety goggles, protective footwear with steel toe-caps, and full-length protective trousers. Use protective gloves when handling band blades.

• Worksite: Operate in full daylight or adequate lighting. Keep the area free from clutter, pets, and children. Ensure the ground is level and hardpacked.
• Safety Equipment: Never use the machine if safety equipment is defective. The interlock safety switch on the band wheel guard prevents operation if guards are open.
• Operator: Persons under 18 may not operate the machine. Do not operate if tired, under the influence of alcohol, or medication that impairs reaction times.

Assembly

The assembly process involves multiple steps, including mounting the feed unit to the sawmill rail, installing the control panel, and setting up the drive chain. Use the provided fasteners (bolts and nuts) as specified in the manual. Ensure all joints are tightened appropriately. When the lubrication symbol appears, apply universal grease to the parts before installation.

Connection of Cable Trunks

Proper wiring is essential for the feed unit to function. Connect the cable trunks according to the diagrams provided in the manual. Ensure the red and black cables are connected to the correct poles on the motor and battery. Verify that the cable trunk and supply cable are suspended in the strain relief to prevent damage during operation.

At First Startup

Before the first run, perform the following checks:

• Ensure the power supply is working.
• Run the saw head along the rail using the actuator.
• Listen for abnormal noise and ensure the chain is aligned between the gears.
• Check that no physical collision occurs along the length of the rail.
• Verify that both the cable trunk and supply cable are suspended in the strain relief.

Control Panel

The control panel features the following elements:

• Operating lever: Controls the movement of the saw head.
• Start saw motor: Operated in combination with the safety switch.
• Safety switch: Must be engaged for operation.
• Feed speed: Dial to adjust the speed of the feed (0-100).

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following:

• Machine does not start: Check for loose contacts, moisture, tripped RCD, or blown fuses.
• Abnormal noises: Check for poor chain alignment, insufficient or over-tensioned chain, or worn bearings/gearbox.
• Wrong direction: Phase reversed; swap the cables on the motor poles.
• Engine does not run: Motor may be overheating; wait for it to cool down.
