Side Support Alignment
Logs and boards are clamped against the side supports when sawing. The sides supports
must be square to the bed to ensure square lumber.
1.
Swing a side support down and measure between the face of the support and the main
bed tube. The distance at the top of the side support (’B’) should be equal to or no more
than 1/32" (0.8 mm) greater than the distance at the base of the side support (’A’). Adjust
the horizontal tilt of the side support if necessary.
See Figure 7-13.
Loosen the two adjustment plate mounting bolts. Use a mallet to move
the plate until the side support is parallel to the bed tube in the horizontal position.
Retighten the mounting bolts.
2.
Repeat the horizontal check for the remaining side supports. Adjust as necessary.
3.
Place square alignment tubes (Part No. S12831 - 2 required) across the bed rails. Swing
a side support up so that it is vertical.
4.
Pull back at the top of the support to eliminate slack as if a log were being clamped
against it.
5.
Place a square against the face of the side support. The side support should be square or
slightly tilted forward 1/32" (0.8 mm). Adjust the vertical tilt of the side support if neces-
sary.
