3.12 Clutch Handle Adjustment
After the drive belts and brake strap are properly adjusted, the clutch handle should lock in the
down position when the drive belts are engaged. If the clutch handle does not stay locked, adjust
the handle turnbuckle. See Section 3.13
for optional Autoclutch adjustment.
1. Remove the blade from the sawmill.
2. Remove the inner belt guard and pull the clutch handle down to engage the drive belts.
3. Hold a straight edge between the bottom and top pivot centers and measure the distance to the
middle pivot.
4. Adjust the clutch handle turnbuckle until the center of the middle pivot is 7/16” from the straight
edge.
See Figure 3-10.
