Portable Sawmill Setup
WARNING!
Do not set up the mill on ground with more than
a 10 degree incline. If setup on an incline is necessary, put blocks
under one side of the mill or dig out areas for outrigger legs to keep mill
level. Setting up the mill on an incline could cause it to tip over,
resulting in serious personal injury.
WARNING!
Chock the trailer wheels to prevent movement before
unhitching it from the towing vehicle. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING!
Always make sure the trailer is supporting the sawmill
frame when operating a sawmill with adjustable outriggers. Failure to
do so may result in serious injury or death. The adjustable outriggers
are intended to support the saw frame with assistance from the trailer.
1.
Unhitch the mill from the vehicle.
2.
Lower and set the front three outriggers. Lift the weight from the locking pin using the jack handle.
Pull the locking pin to release the outrigger and lower the outrigger as necessary. Secure with the
locking pin.
