SECTION 4 SAWMILL SETUP
4.1 Sawmill Setup
NOTE: The following setup procedure should be performed whenever the sawmill is moved or
reassembled. If sawing problems occur and misalignment is suspected, See SECTION 8
for
complete alignment instructions. See SECTION 3
for sawmill assembly instructions.
LEVELING THE LOG BED
1. Adjust the frame legs so the sawmill appears level. If sawmill is on soft ground, use shims under
the legs if necessary.
2. Run a string from the front bed rail to the rear bed rail near the operator’s side of the frame.
3. Place identical spacers between the string and the front and rear bed rails.
4. Measure the distance between the string and the other bed rails.
5. Adjust the frame legs until all bed rails measure the same distance from the string.
See Figure 4-1.
6. Repeat the bed rail adjustment with the string at the other side of the sawmill frame.
7. Install a blade (See Section 4.4
through Section 4.6 ) and move the saw carriage until the blade
is positioned over the front bed rail.
8. Measure the distance from the bed rail to the bottom of the blade near the inside blade guide.
