CLAMPING LOGS
CAUTION! Make sure the side supports and clamp are positioned low
enough for the blade to pass over them. If they are not, back the clamp
off slightly and push the side supports down until they are positioned
below the level of your first few cuts. Failure to follow this will result in
machine damage.
1. Slide the clamp against the log and turn the locking handle to lock the clamp against the
log.
2. Tighten the clamp against the log with the locking handle.
See Figure 5-3.
LEVELING A TAPERED LOG
Use shims or the wedge to raise either end of a tapered log until the heart of the log mea-
sures the same distance from the bed rails at each end of the log.
