3. Tensions can also arise in storage If the bark and top segment begin to dry the whole surface will begin to shrink In such a case when one side is trimmed the log may bend slightly It is easy to discover tension in logs that leads to measurement errors Each time you pull the saw back you can read what is happening in the log As long as the guide bar continues to lie just above the newly sawn surface then the log has not bent How ever there is space between the guide bar and the sawn surface or if the guide bar is pressed upwards it is time to plan how the next cut should be made to reduce the effects of tensions When sawing from the top towards the bottom the wood has a tendency to bend downwards at the ends This is especially true if there is large root end growth It is therefore often best to turn the log after passing through the centre and saw the rest of the material from the other side If you still want to saw logs with high tensions a chain saw and a timber jig 4900 000 1000 to slice up the log can be a better alternative This follows the previous saw surface and therefore gives better precision if the log bends SOME TIPS FOR AVOIDING THE EFFECTS OF WOOD TENSIONS 1 Cut wood with tensions in as short lengths as possible By reducing the log length to app 2 5 m the precision will be high even if there are high tensions in the wood 2 Work around the log sawing all sides in order 3 To achieve

MANUAL FOR YOUR CUTTING EQUIPMENT Logosol has a separate document which we keep updated with respect to the technical specification of the latest new products It is called Manual for your cutting equipment and can be downloaded free of charge from our web site You can also order a printed version 31 H LOGOSOL KEEP THE EDGE WITHIN THE CHROME LAYER 32 The cutting teeth on a chainsaw chain are coated with a very thin chrome layer It gives a very sharp and hard wearing edge The chain will remain perfectly sharp where the edge remains in the chrome layer Edges in the chrome layer become worn after around 50 saw cuts on the Logosol sawmill It is then time to sharpen the chain You will notice if you watch close ly that the sawing speed falls the guide bar becomes hotter and the feed pressure must be increased If you always sharpen the chain before it becomes blunt then wear on the guide bar and chain will be minimal If you however saw 5 10 cuts after the edge has left the chrome layer then the chain becomes so blunt that it begins to saw poorly The sawing speed is low and the feed pressure high The guide bar and chain quickly overheat It is still possible to saw but the equipment wears very quickly when sharpening a blunt chain there is a real risk that you do not reach the chrome layer The chain can be sharp but as the edge is not in the chrome layer then the chain quickly becomes blunt
