3. Unhook the carriage safety chain.
4. Turn the key switch on the control panel to the ACC position to enable the battery-oper-
ated accessories. Use the up/down switch on the control panel to raise the cutting head
from the carriage rest pin. Remove the locking pin and swing the rest pin down below bed
level.
5. Use the feed handle to move the cutting head toward the front end of the mill. Lower and
set the remaining rear outriggers.
6. Level the sawmill by adjusting the outriggers to raise or lower each end of the sawmill.
Adjust all outriggers evenly to avoid twisting the mill frame by jacking one outrigger higher
than the others.
For FAO(s), fine tune the outrigger base height as necessary. Move the cutting head to
the opposite end of the mill from the outrigger. Raise the entire outrigger (to remove the
sawmill weight from it) and adjust the outrigger base as necessary. Lower the entire out-
rigger and use the locking pin to secure in position.
CAUTION! Do not adjust the FAO outrigger base height
while there is weight on the FAO. Damage to the FAO may
result.
