Move the carriage forward to check the distance to the blade at the inside of the pivot rail support.
All measurements should be equal within ± 1.0 mm.
9.
Turn the horizontal adjustment nuts evenly to adjust the inner lower rollers to tilt the saw head until
the blade is parallel (± 1.0 mm) to the pivot rail support on the outside.
NOTE:
Adjustments of the lower track rollers change the angle between the cutting head and
sawmill bed rails. Only small adjustments of the lower track rollers should ever be needed.
10.
After the lower track rollers are adjusted properly, adjust the upper and lower stop screws. Tighten
each screw until it just touches the rail. Then, back the screw off 1/2 turn. The gap will be
approximately 2.0 mm.
CAUTION!
It is important that the lower stop bolts are properly
adjusted to secure the carriage on the track rail. Failure to properly
adjust the stop bolts can cause saw head damage, especially during
mill transportation.
