Setup & Operation
CAUTION!
The saw head will hit the spring-loaded ramp stops when
adjusted for low cuts. Remove the loading ramps before sawing to
prevent damage to the saw head and/or blade guide arm.
If you did not purchase the optional loading ramps, use boards for ramps or use log loading
equipment to load the log on the sawmill bed.
To Turn Logs
1.
Use a cant hook to spin the log against the side supports until it is turned the way you want it for the
first cut.
To Clamp Logs
1.
Position the clamps against the log, far enough down so they are below your cuts on a given side of
the log. Using the clamp handles move the log firmly against the side supports.
See Figure 3-13.
2.
Be sure to leave crank in the bottom position to avoid damage to the blade.
