5.15 Horizontal and Vertical Adjustment of Manual Side Supports
Logs and boards are clamped against the side supports when sawing. The optional, manual sides
supports must be square to the bed to ensure square lumber.
1. Swing the side support down to adjust the side support in horizontal plane.
2. Measure between the face of the support and the main bed tube. Make measurements at both ends
of the side support to make sure that it is parallel to the bed rail.
3. Use the two lower bolts to adjust the side support, so the distances A and B are equal.
4. Repeat for remaining side supports.
See Figure 5-29.
5. Swing the side support up to adjust the side support in vertical plane.
6. Place a flat board across the bed rails.
7. Pull back at the top of the support to eliminate slack as if a log were being clamped against it.
8. Check the angle of each support with a square on the board.
9. The side support should be 90° to the bed rails. Loosen the locking bolt and swing the adjustment
arm.
