The width and grade of the stock are automatically
determined by the requirements of the piece that will
be cut.
6. PIECES IN CURRENT JOB is a summary of the total
number of pieces for each grade and size required
in the job. It is not a pick list, for information about
creating pick lists see section 3.11.
Buttons below the piece list perform the following
functions (Figure 12):
7. EXIT – Will cancel out of this screen and leave all cut
data intact.
NOTE
It is very strongly advised to use this button when exiting the
program so that cutting data is not lost.
SINGLE PIECE – This mode allows the operator
8.
to select specific pieces to be cut one at a time.
The computer will determine the quantity of
single pieces that can fit on the lumber stock
automatically. When the cutting is complete the
piece select screen will appear. (Figure 12).
RUN ALL – This button starts a process that will cut
9.
all the pieces in the job. The details of the process
are a function of the state of the OPTIMIZE feature.
NOTE
All information regarding the setup of the OPTIMIZE feature is
located in section 3.8 of this manual. Please read this section to
learn how to best setup the feature for maximum effectiveness.
10. When OPTIMIZE is ON, this button starts the
process described in section 3.8. The blade comes
on and the computer fills the first stock piece using
the optimizing function.
WARNING
!
Do not push the board into the feeder until the green light is on.
When OPTIMIZE is OFF, cutting will proceed from

This screen displays what size and grade of stock lumber
to feed into the saw.
NEXT CUT ORDER – Displays a preview of the next
1.
board to be cut
The two gray bars near the bottom of the screen show
how the computer has placed pieces on the stock. The
top bar shows the stock board that was just cut, and the
bottom bar shows the stock board that is set up, ready
and will be cut next. The red and yellow colors of the
pieces are alternated so that it noticeable where each
board begins and ends. There is no other significance to
these two colors.
When the stock is changed, the Next Cut Order will be recalculated
and the new piece layout will be shown. Occasionally, this
recalculation will cause the Previous Cut Order layout to go off
scale, but that will have no effect on upcoming cuts. It is not
possible to make changes to the stocks if a picklist has been
created for the job.
When there are pieces on the stock that have beveled
ends, the beveled edges will be green for double bevel,
blue for single bevel front, or fuchsia for single bevel
back.
• The information shown on the first line on each
piece is truss name.
• The second line shows the piece name.
• The third line shows the index of the piece and the
piece length.
The index number is assigned by the saw computer
when the job is loaded. It corresponds to the position
of the piece in the list on the Piece Select screen. It is
not the quantity of the piece. It is shown on this screen
for reference. It can be used when it is necessary to to
find the piece in the job list on the Piece Select Screen
(Figure 9).
