SECTION 5 LAP SIDING OPERATION
5.1
Lap siding setup
To cut tapered siding, a single cant is clamped in the SLR. The siding taper adjustment bolts are
adjusted up so the lifting rollers tilt the SLR frame. When the shift handle is thrown, the SLR
frame tilts sideways.
NOTE:
Maximum cant width is 12" (304.8 mm) and 12 ft long.
1.
Install the SLR to the sawmill bed. See
2.
Adjust the
shingle
taper adjustment bolt to 1/4". See FIG.4-1,
.
This will stop the shift handle when the lift rollers reach their maximum height.
3.
Adjust the
siding
taper adjustment bolts all the way up so they do not lift the SLR frame from the
bed rails.
4.
Adjust the inner clamp halves inside the shingle cams to avoid interference with the cant.
NOTE:
To saw cants wider than 10", the cams must be adjusted out of the
way.
Be sure to mark each cam location so it can be returned to its original position
