5.2 Complete Alignment Procedure
Frame Setup
Before performing the following alignment procedures, setup the mill on firm, level ground.
Level the frame and adjust the saw head as described in
Section 4.1
Sawmill Setup.
Blade Installation
1. Remove the blade and replace the blade wheel belts. New blade wheel belts are required to per-
form the complete alignment procedure.
2. Blow sawdust off of the blade guide assemblies. Remove sawdust from the blade housings.
3. Remove the blade guide assemblies.
NOTE: To remove the blade guide assemblies and maintain the tilt adjust-
ments, only loosen one side screw and the top screw. Leaving the other side
screw and bottom screw in position will insure you will return the rollers to their
original tilt adjustment.
4. Adjust the outer blade guide arm in or out until the outer blade guide is approximately 24” from
the inner blade guide.
5. Install a new blade and apply the appropriate tension (
See Section 4.5
).
6. Close the blade housing covers and make sure all persons are clear of the saw head.
