5.5 Saw Head Slide Pad Adjustment
There are nylon pads positioned between the saw head frame and vertical mast. The spacing of the
pads is factory set and rarely needs adjusting. To check the pad spacing, perform the following steps.
The pads should be aligned to the mast, so that the entire face of each slide pad makes contact with
the mast.
See Figure 5-10.
1. Secure the saw head with a chain at the top, or shim it underneath. Check two pads with adjustment
bolts (A).They should be touching the mast. There should be a small gap (about 0,2mm wide)
between the inner pad and the mast.
WARNING! Always secure the cutting head with a chain or a brace
before adjusting the mast pads. The cutting head may fall, causing
severe injury or death.
2. Loosen the locking bolts (B) and turn the adjusting bolt (A) as necessary to provide the pad spacing
described in Step 1.
CAUTION! Due to variations in the vertical mast, the pad spacing may
vary throughout the travel of the saw head. Check the pad spacing at
the top and bottom ends of the mast only. Pads adjusted too tight will
cause premature up/down motor failure.
