If you want to turn the log more, do the following steps.
3. Engage the clamp by raising the clamp in/out lever. Clamp the log against the side sup-

4. Lower the turner lever to lower the turner arm below the log.
5. Raise the turner arm to get a new bite on the log.
6. Disengage the clamp.
The log can be turned now. Repeat steps 4 through 7 until the log is turned as desired.
Turning small cants
If you are turning a small cant, use the middle log clamp to turn the cant, instead of the

2. Use the clamp in/out lever to move the clamp in, beneath the edge of the cant.
3. Raise the clamp up/down lever to raise the clamp and flip the cant.
To Use The Middle Clamp
1. Raise the clamp up/down lever to raise the clamp.
2. Use the clamp in/out lever to clamp the log against the side supports.
3. Lower the turner lever until the turner arm falls below the bed.
4. Using the clamp in/out lever, back the clamp off slightly.
5. Lower the side supports so that they are positioned below the level of your first few cuts.
6. Using the clamp in/out lever, clamp the log firmly.

or the middle clamp together with the front clamp or the rear clamp (log length below 3.5
