Saw Carriage Assembly
The saw carriage is equipped with two lock pins at the bottom of the mast near the track rollers.
These pins can be adjusted to two different positions:
Operation position.
This position allows the pins to catch the bottom of the track rail, preventing
the saw head from tilting and disengaging the bed frame.
Lock position.
To secure the saw head to the bed frame during non-use, rotate the pin at the
end of the sawmill so it is clear of the pin bracket. Ensure the pin engages in one of the holes in
the bed frame tube. The second pin should remain in the operation position.
See Figure 3-11.
For installation, the locking pins must be pulled out in order to clear the rail. To reposition pin, pull
pin outward, rotate, and release into proper position.
1.
Position the saw head carriage at the end of the bed frame assembly.
2.
Slide the saw head carriage rollers onto the bed frame track, keeping the carriage square to the
bed to avoid binding the track rollers.
3.
Place both carriage lock pins in the operation position to secure carriage onto bed frame assem-
bly, and glide the mast along the rail to ensure it is properly seated. Reposition as necessary to
ensure a smooth movement along the rail.
4.
On the opposite mast, unbolt the shipping bracket and retaining bracket; discard the shipping
bracket.
5.
Reattach the retaining bracket as shown in Figure 3-12.
WARNING!
Do not operate the sawmill without the retaining bracket properly
installed; the saw head may tip and fall from the log bed. Failure to follow this
may result in serious injury or death.
