Setup & Operation
2.11 Up/Down Operation
This section describes operation of the up/down system with the standard controls. See the operation
section of the Setworks or Accuset manual for operation of the up/down system using these options.
1.
Install a blade, if needed, and check for correct blade tension.
(
2.
Set the cutting head to the desired height. (The blade height scale shows the height of the blade above the
bed rails.)
See Figure 2-10.
The up/down switch is located on the far right side of the control panel. Push the switch up
to raise the cutting head; push the switch down to lower the cutting head. Hold the switch in position until
the cutting head reaches the desired height, then release.
The up/down switch is designed to return to the neutral or "off" position when released. If the switch
remains engaged, manually move the switch to the neutral or "off" position. Repair the up/down drum
switch. (
CAUTION!
Always make sure the up/down switch moves to the neutral or
“off” position when released to ensure that the saw head stops moving.
Damage to the sawmill may result.
CAUTION!
DO NOT try to force the carriage above the 35" (88 cm) mark or
below the 1" (2.54 cm) mark. Damage to the up/down system may result.
