Setting the Flat Guides
If not already in position, move the saw head to the front of the mill (end nearest the
trailer tongue) and lower the saw head down until it is approximately 12” above the bunk.
This will give you good clearance to make adjustments.
Open the movable guide outward, toward the side nearest the carriage rail.
Ensure machine power is off by shutting engine off and removing key from the ignition.
Verify proper blade tension.
Verify proper blade tracking.
Start by taking the top guide foot off the guide block on both the left and right (moveable)
guide by removing the 5/16” nuts on the front of the guide. This will allow the top guide
pad to be removed from each side.
Next loosen the two 5/16” nuts on the backside of each of the guide block assemblies.
This will allow the bottom guide pads to move down, away from the blade.
