Portable Sawmill Setup
WARNING!
Do not set up the mill on ground with more than a 10
degree incline. If setup on an incline is necessary, put blocks under
one side of the mill or dig out areas for outrigger legs to keep mill level.
Setting up the mill on an incline could cause it to tip over, resulting in
serious personal injury.
WARNING!
Chock the trailer wheels to prevent movement before
unhitching it from the towing vehicle. Failure to do so may result in seri-
ous injury or death.
WARNING!
Always make sure the trailer is supporting the sawmill
frame when operating a sawmill with adjustable outriggers. Failure to
do so may result in serious injury or death. The adjustable outriggers
are intended to support the saw frame with assistance from the trailer.
WARNING!
The adjustable outriggers supplied with portable sawmills
are not intended for setup on concrete or other hard surfaces.
Long-term use of the adjustable outriggers on hard surfaces may
cause the outriggers to fail, causing the sawmill to drop. This could
result in possible serious injury or death.
If setting the sawmill up on concrete or other hard surface, replace the
adjustable outrgger legs with stationary legs.
1.
Unhitch the mill from the vehicle.
2.
Lower and set the front three outriggers. To lower, use the provided jack handle to lift the
weight from the locking pin. If necessary, rotate the locking pin counterclockwise so that
the inner roll pin is free from the outrigger channel notch, then pull the locking pin out to
release the outrigger. Lower the outrigger as necessary. Push the locking pin back in and
turn clockwise until the inner roll pin is behind the outrigger channel notch to “lock” the
outrigger in place.
WARNING!
Put front outrigger down before moving cutting head from
the rest position. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
