SECTION 7 SAWMILL ALIGNMENT
The Wood-Mizer sawmill is factory aligned. Two alignment procedures are available to
realign the sawmill if necessary. The Routine Alignment instructions should be performed
as necessary to solve sawing problems not related to blade performance. The Complete
Alignment procedure should be performed approximately every 1500 hours of operation
(sooner if you regularly transport the sawmill over rough terrain).
WARNING!
Always wear eye, ear, respiration and foot protection
as well as safety clothing when servicing the sawmill.
