Leveling the Head and Frame
In order to cut high-quality lumber and to achieve the highest degree of accuracy, the
saw head must be perfectly level. To achieve this, a 3 to 4 ft bubble level is required.
Ensure all leveling legs
are firmly on the ground
and all leg locking bolts
and jamb nuts are tight.
Prepare to move the
head frame to the front of
the mill.
Note:
Refer to the Engine
Manufacturer’s Operator
Guide for starting procedure.
Move the head frame to
the front of the mill, then
shutdown / turn-off the
engine.
Note:
Refer to page 17 for
an overview of the Operator
Control Station.
Place a bubble level on
the bunks closest to one
of the leveling legs as
possible.
Bring your eyes level to
the head track and look
down the length of the
track.
Verify that the mill is
straight for the full length
of the frame.
Note:
It is not necessary to
raise the tires off the ground
during the leveling process.
