Stationary Sawmill Setup
Prepare a firm, level area where the sawmill can be anchored. There should be enough

A cement pad with 5/8” diameter anchor bolts is recommended. The cement pad should
be rated to support 6350 lbs./sq.ft. at each sawmill foot position.

NOTE:
Make sure the unit is level before securing. It IS possible to twist the mill frame by
jacking one foot higher than the others.
WARNING!
Securely fasten the feet of a stationary sawmill
to the floor before operating the sawmill. Failure to do so
may result in serious injury or death.
3.
Unhook the carriage safety chain, located at the bottom of the vertical mast, near the bat-
tery box.

Start the engine to enable the battery-operated accessories (
up/down switch on the control panel to raise the cutting head from the carriage rest pin.
Swing the rest pin down below bed level.

the battery.
