6. Wrench-tighten the clamp bolts.
7. Physically move the chain by hand to ensure it moves freely, before using
the assembled lumber mill.
HANDLE ADJUSTMENT
The handle is used to guide the mill during cutting and can be adjusted for
comfort. The handle should be spaced far enough to easily control the nose
guard end of the chainsaw while walking beside the lumber being cut. Have the
chainsaw in position for this adjustment.
1. Set the lumber mill assembly on a level surface at waist level.
2. Loosen the coupling nuts holding the on/off guide bar in place.
3. Hold the chainsaw handle, then move the guide bar along the rails until it is
in a comfortable position. Ensure it is far enough from the thrust side post
to control the other end during a cut.
4. Tighten the on/off guide bar coupling nuts hand-tight and then secure with
a wrench.
OPERATION
IMPORTANT! Check all nuts and connections before each use, as they may
be loose due to vibration.
A ripping chain is required for the best results.
The lumber mill requires a level surface for the thickness rails to glide across
during the first cut. A common solution is to lay and secure a ladder over the log.
This can be attached directly to the log or to a separate set up. Ensure the
connection method does not interfere with the initial cut, such as nails that catch
the chain during the cut.
Once the initial cut is complete, the lumber mill can rest directly on the lumber’s
smooth surface for subsequent cuts.
1. Adjust the cut thickness by loosening the u-clamps and sliding the frame
until the bottom of the thickness rail is even with the chosen measurement
on the post ruler. Wrench-tighten the connection nuts
