3.
Remove the fenders by lifting them out of the slots.
CAUTION!
To prevent fender damage, remove fenders
before operating sawmill or loading logs.
4.
Use the carriage forward/reverse switch (left side of control box) to move the cutting head
toward the front end of the mill.
5.
Lower and set the remaining rear outriggers. Level the sawmill by adjusting the outriggers
to raise or lower each end of the sawmill. Adjust all outriggers evenly to avoid twisting the
mill frame by jacking one outrigger higher than the others.
For FAO(s), fine tune the outrigger base height as necessary. Move the cutting head to
the opposite end of the mill from the outrigger. Raise the entire outrigger (to remove the
sawmill weight from it) and adjust the outrigger base as necessary. Lower the entire out-
rigger and use the locking pin to secure in position.
CAUTION!
Do not adjust the FAO outrigger base height
while there is weight on the FAO. Damage to the FAO may
result.
6.
Raise the two side supports to prevent the log from falling off the side of the mill when
loaded.
See Figure 3-4.
