e. Fully tighten the plate bolts in the slotted holes on
connecting plate.
NOTE: Be sure the slotted holes on
the connecting plate are connected
to the same bed section on both
sides of the bed frame.
f. Repeat for the remaining 3 connections.
g. Attach the cross member between the bed sec-
tions.
NOTE: Optional bed extension sec-
tions may be added at this time, in
the same manner as the standard
bed sections.
4. Attach the log clamp in the middle of the bed. See FIG. 3-4.
NOTE: The log clamp is shipped with two sets of bolts and spacers. Use the
shorter bolt and the long spacer only.
5. Attach the log rest brackets and posts. Do not tighten until the bed is leveled.
3.3 Level the bed
NOTE: It is important that the bed be level for the sawhead to travel smoothly over
the rails.
1. Mount the saw bed on wooden skids for leveling and increasing the ground clearance.
A straight 4x4 or 4x6 are an ideal size for the wooden skids. If the
skids are not a solid one-piece section, make sure the seams of
skids are offset from the seams of the bed frame. See FIG. 3-5.
2. Use a 4-foot level (or laser level) to level the bed in all
dimensions. See FIG. 3-6.
3. Adjust the bed for leveling by shimming under low spots.
NOTE: Failure to square the log
rest posts can result in poor cut
quality.
