Adjusting Bed Rails To The Blade
1.
Move the vertical clamp to its lowest position. Before using the clamp tube as a reference
to set the blade, make sure it is level.
2.
Move the clamp all the way toward the clamp stop. Position the saw head so the blade is
over the clamp tube. Measure from the outer end of the clamp tube to the bottom of the
blade.
3.
Move the saw head back to power the hydraulics and move the clamp all the way out.
Position the blade over the clamp tube again and measure from the inner end of the
clamp tube to the bottom of the blade.
4.
If the clamp tube is level, the measurement to the blade at both ends will be the same
within 1/16" (1.5 mm). If adjustment is needed, loosen the four mounting bolts at the outer
end of the clamp tube and adjust the clamp tube up or down as necessary. Tighten the
mounting bolts.
See Figure 5-7.
