SECTION 7 SAWMILL ALIGNMENT
The Wood-Mizer sawmill is factory aligned. Two alignment procedures are available to
realign the sawmill if necessary. The Routine Alignment instructions should be performed
as necessary to solve sawing problems not related to blade performance. The Complete
Alignment procedure should be performed approximately every 1500 hours of operation
(sooner if you regularly transport the sawmill over rough terrain).

Blade Installation
1. Remove the blade and check the blade wheels. Remove any sawdust buildup from the
surface of the wheels.

).

6. Turn the key switch to #3 position.
