ADJUSTING THE RAIL FRAME
Measure along a string to check that the
distance between the string and the rail is
the same along the whole rail. To adjust
the levelness of the rail, move the rail
sections up or down at the points where
the rail is not level.
Tip: Use shims under the rail sections, so
that they stay in the right position while
you are tightening the bolts.
This step is crucial for the precision of the
sawmill. Be careful and put some extra
time into this step.
When the rail is adjusted level, check that
all the rail sections are level at the joints and
that the inner and outer rail sections are at
the same height. All joints should be as level
as possible. Adjust and tighten the bolting
step by step. When one side of the rail frame
is adjusted along its whole length and the
joints are level, tighten all boltings on this
side of the bed. Then, repeat all the adjust-
ment steps on the opposite side of the rail
frame to complete the adjustment.
If the machine is equipped with support legs, they
must be tted before starting the next step.
