Sawmill Setup
NOTE:
The following setup procedure should be performed whenever the sawmill is
moved or reassembled. If sawing problems occur and misalignment is suspected,
for complete alignment instructions.
1.
Adjust the frame legs so the sawmill appears level. If sawmill is on soft ground, use shims
under the legs if necessary.
2.
Run a string from the front bed rail to the rear bed rail near the operator’s side of the
frame. Place identical spacers between the string and the front and rear bed rails.
Measure the distance between the string and the other bed rails. Adjust the frame legs
until all bed rails measure the same distance from the string.
3.
Loosen the auxiliary bed rail bolts and adjust the rail so it is the same distance from the
string as the main bed rails. Retighten the bolts.
See Figure 3-1.
