SETUP & OPERATION
See Figure 2-17.
4.
Remove the toe board crank handle. Clamp the log against the side supports and make
the desired number of cuts. When the log is rotated 180 degrees, lower the toe board so
that the flat portion of the log now lies flat on the bed rails. This will result in the two oppo-
site sides of the log cut parallel to the heart.
CAUTION!
Be sure the pivot rails, turning arm, clamp, and
toe boards are below bed level before loading a log onto
the bed. Failure to do so may result in machine damage or
cause misalignment.
5.
Repeat these steps to square the remaining two sides of the log. If you do not have the
toe board option, you can achieve the same results by shimming one end of the log so
that the blade cuts parallel to the log's heart.
CAUTION!
The maximum load capacity of individ-
ual toe boards is 1000 kg. Exceeding this limit may result in
serious injury.
CAUTION!
During sawing, one end of the log being
levelled must rest on the sawmill bed.
