Setup & Operation
2.17 Optional Cutting Procedure for Super Series Mills
In order to achieve maximum production rates with Super Series mills; it may be desirable to leave
the blade engaged when returning the carriage. (Normal operation procedures recommend
disengaging the blade before returning the carriage for maximum blade life and fuel economy.)
DANGER!
If leaving the blade engaged for maximum production rates,
make sure the off-bearer stays out of the path of the blade. Failure to
do so will result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
If you choose to leave the blade engaged; raise the blade
to clear the log before returning the carriage. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the blade and/or sawmill.
2.18 Blade Height Scale
See Figure 2-14.
The blade height scale is attached to the carriage head frame. It
includes:
a blade height indicator
an inch scale
a quarter scale
The scales are attached to the frame and move up and down with the carriage head. The blade
indicator, used to read the inch and quarter scales, remains stationary.
