5.13 Power Feed
1. Adjust the power feed chain as needed. Measure the power feed chain tension with the saw head all
the way toward the front of the mill. Use the adjustment nut on the feed tensioner at the front of the
mill to tighten or loosen the power feed chain. Adjust the chain until it measures 7 to 8 inches
(17.8 to 20.3 cm) from the top of the top rail at its lowest point.
CAUTION! Do not overtighten the feed chain. Damage to the gear
reducer may result.
See Figure 5-6.
2. Inspect the power feed motor brushes every 750 hours of operation. Remove brush dust and replace
the brushes if they worn to a length of 5/8” or shorter.
CAUTION! Do not operate the power feed system if the feed motor
brushes are worn shorter than 5/8”. Damage to the feed motor may
result.
