What happens here
The debarker is a carbide-tipped blade that is activated before the main saw blade. It chips off the bark and outer layer of the log. This process removes dirt, grit, and other debris that can dull or damage the more delicate main saw blade. Engaging the debarker significantly prolongs the life and sharpness of the primary cutting blade.
Goal: Utilize the debarker to protect the main saw blade.
