Saw head is not level. One
side of the saw head comes
to a stop at the top or
bottom of travel before the
other.
The sawmill is cutting at an
angle (side to side).
The saw head needs to be leveled.
Bring the head to the bottom of the travel, ensuring that it is
all the way down. Loosen the 7 bolts on the rack gear on
the inside right of the saw head (measuring wheel side).
With a rubber mallet, tap the top of the rack gear until it is
seated properly. Tighten the 7 bolts. NOTE: It is not
necessary to adjust or loosen the jacking bolt under the rack
gear.
Head surges when traveling
the length of the sawmill.
The track chains are loose.
At the back of the sawmill, on the left and right sides are the
track chain adjustment bolts. Both of the track chain should
have approximately 2" of slack when lifted at the center of
the mill.
Tighten the track chain(s) adjustment bolts until the correct
amount of slack is present at the center of the mill.
Log turner, fence arms,
clamp, or toe rollers will not
rise, but all pressures are
good.
The affected part is binding and requires lubrication.
Grease the appropriate part with grease.
