TO CLAMP LOGS
1.
Clamp the log against the side supports.
2.
Lower the turner until the arm falls below the bed.
3.
When the turner arm is lowered all the way, the side supports will begin to lower. Back the
clamp off slightly, and let the side supports come down until they are positioned below the
level of your first few cuts.
TO LEVEL A TAPERED LOG
Use the toe board lever(s) to raise either end of a tapered log, if desired.
Raise the front or rear toe board until the heart of the log measures the same distance
from the bed rails at each end of the log.
