Mechanical Set-up
1.
From the Main menu or the Preset screen press Clamp Setup. See “Clamp Setup” on page 36.
1.
Adjust both back hopper stops for a hopper width of roughly 1/8-inch larger than the stock.
2.
Adjust both front hopper stop's height to clear the stock by roughly 1/8-inch.
3.
Adjust the end stop. This adjustment sets the machine for minimum stock waste. End stop distance is
determined by the fixed head cutting angle:
• For 45 degrees, set the end stop for the same distance as the stock width.
• For 0 degrees, set the end stop distance for 0 inches.
4.
Set the front edge clamp distance to the same as the stock width.
5.
Set the jamb clamp width air valves. For stock less than 3 ½ inches, the valve must be slid toward the
input side of the machine. For stock greater than 3 ½ inches, the valve must be slid toward the out-feed
side of the machine.
6.
On the Touch Screen press Start Saws, then Yes to confirm.
NOTE: Wide jamb mode has better clamping ability than nar-
row jamb mode; tighter clamping produces cleaner saw cuts.
Wide jamb mode can be used on narrow stock. The disadvantage
is that wide jamb mode is slower by about 3 boards per minute.
