3. If necessary, loosen the four guide blocks on the sawhead that
the uprights travel through.
(See FIG. 4-10 .)
4. Adjust the sawhead from the cable bolts of the sawhead
up/down assembly. (See FIG. 3-22 .)
5. If adjustments are necessary, raise the low side. This will
ensure that the cable bolt does not run out of thread for the nuts.
6. Tighten the guide blocks.
Blade height scale
1. Ensure that the blade is parallel to the bed. See "Blade straightness."
2. Measure the blade from a tooth pointing down to the mill bed surface. Raise or lower the sawhead as necessary to get an
accurate measurement. Note that measurement.
3. Adjust the blade scale until it matches the blade-to-bed measurement. When the scale and the blade-to-bed measure-
ments are the same, tighten the adjustment nuts of the scale. (See FIG. 4-11 .)
4.2 Starting the Engine/Motor
See the engine/motor manual supplied with your machine for starting and operating instructions.
4.3 Loading, Turning, and Clamping Logs
LOADING A LOG
1. Move the sawhead to the front end of the frame.
NOTICE Ensure the sawhead is far enough forward on the bed so the log does not hit it, result-
ing in machine damage.
2. Lower the log clamp completely and move it toward the loading side of the sawmill frame.
NOTICE Ensure the clamp is far enough down so the log does not hit it, resulting in machine
damage.
3. Raise the side supports on the sawmill bed to prevent the log from falling off the side of the bed.
4. Position the log parallel to the sawmill bed.
