4.
Unhook the carriage safety chain, located at the bottom of the vertical mast near the battery box.
5.
Turn the key switch on the control panel to the accessory (#3) position to enable the battery-operated accesso-
ries. Use the up/down switch on the control panel to raise the cutting head from the carriage rest pin. Remove
the locking pin and swing the rest pin down below bed level.
WARNING!
Failure to put front outrigger down before moving cutting head
from the rest position may result in serious injury.
6.
Remove the fenders by lifting them out of the slots.
CAUTION!
To prevent fender damage, remove fenders before operating
sawmill or loading logs.
7.
Use the carriage forward/reverse switch (left side of control box) to move the cutting head toward the front end
of the mill. Lower and set the remaining rear outriggers.
8.
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.
Raise the two side supports to prevent the log from falling off the side of the mill when loaded.
See Figure 2-9.
