Setting the Saw blade Height
Figure 8
1. For proper operation the height of the saw
blade must be below the conveyor chain
but no more than 1/16” (Figure 8). This
will in effect allow the blade to cut into the
rubber chain insert. This is normal.
Adjust the arbor height hand wheel (D,
Figure 6) accordingly.
2. Once the saw blade height is set lock into
place with the arbor height locking handle
(B, Figure 6).
3. Now return the carriage to it’s correct
height using the carriage height
handwheel (C, Figure 6) and lock into
place with the carriage lock handle (A,
Figure 6).

Pressure Roller/Carriage
With Respect to the Work Piece
!
WARNING
Incorrect height setting of pressure rollers
can cause material kick back and injury to
operator.
Figure 9 shows the relation of the pressure
roller height to the work piece. The pressure
roller height should be 1/16” to 3/16” below the
height of the material. The lower the rollers
the more pressure is exerted on the material.
Typically when running thick heavy material
more pressure is required. Inadequate
pressure can cause poor feeding and
subsequently a poor cut. Inadequate pressure
can also heighten the probability of material
kick back and serious injury to the operator.

Height Adjustment
The scale in Figure 10 represents the height of
the pressure rolls to the conveyor chain.
Therefore if you are running 1” thick material
use the scale to set the pressure rolls to
approximately 15/16” or to a thickness as
described in the above paragraph.
