Operation
CAUTION!
Make sure all guards and covers are in place
and secured before operating or towing the resaw. Failure
to do so may result in serious injury. Be sure the blade
housing cover is in place and secured.
NOTE:
After aligning the blade on the wheels, always check the blade guide spacing and
location.
2.7
Saw Head Height Adjustment
You can raise or lower each individual saw head to determine the thickness of the
finished stock. The saw heads should be adjusted so that the last blade the material
passes through is closest to the feed track.
Example:
You want to cut cants into 12.5 mm (1/2”) pallet material. Assuming your resaw
has six cutting heads, you will need to adjust each head in 14.0 mm (35/64”) increments
up from the feed track. This will allow 1.5 mm (1/16”) kerf for each blade.
See Figure 2-13.
The sixth saw head (the last one the material will pass through) should
be adjusted to 12.5 mm (1/2”) above the feed track. The fifth head should be adjusted to
26.5 mm (1 3/64”) above the track, the fourth head to 40.5 mm (1 19/32”), etc....
1.
Install a blade if needed and check for correct blade tension.
(
See Section 2.4
)
2.
Set the saw head at the desired height. (The blade height scale shows the height of the
blade above the feed track.)
