Complete Alignment Procedure
Frame Setup
Before performing the following alignment procedures, setup the mill on firm, level

If your sawmill is stationary, with no trailer axle, shim the feet so the weight of the sawmill
is evenly supported.

Adjust the front and third outriggers on the main frame tube down just enough to lift
weight from the trailer tire.
All Portable Sawmills:
Adjust the two outer outriggers down just so they touch the
ground but do not bear weight.
