Unhook the carriage safety chain, located at the bottom of the vertical mast near the bat-
tery box.

Turn the key switch on the control panel to the accessory (#3) position to enable the bat-
tery-operated accessories. Use the up/down switch on the control panel to raise the cut-
ting head from the carriage rest pin. Swing the rest pin down below bed level.
WARNING!
Failure to put front outrigger down before mov-
ing cutting head from the rest position may result in serious
injury.
5.
Remove the fenders by lifting them out of the slots.
CAUTION!
To prevent fender damage, remove fenders
before operating sawmill or loading logs.
6.
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.
7.
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.
