Use the vertical adjustment screws to adjust the drive-side blade wheel.
To tilt the wheel up, loosen the top adjustment screw one quarter turn. Loosen the jam nut
on the bottom adjustment screw and tighten the screw to 30 ft.-lbs torque. Tighten the top
and bottom jam nuts.
To tilt the wheel down, loosen the bottom adjustment screw one quarter turn. Loosen the
jam nut on the top adjustment screw and tighten the screw to 30 ft.-lbs torque. Tighten the
top and bottom jam nuts.
NOTE:
Sawmills prior to Rev. H7.00 are equipped with
socket set screws rather than hex bolts. Adjustment of
either type bolt is similar.

Recheck the vertical tilt of the drive-side blade wheel with the blade guide alignment tool.
Readjust the blade wheel as necessary until the front and rear of the tool are the same
distance from the bed rail (within 1/16" [1.5 mm]).
6.
Remove the tool from the blade and reattach it near the outer blade guide assembly.
7.
Measure from the tool to the bed rail at both ends of the tool. If the measurements at the
front and rear ends of the tool differ by more than 1/16" (1.5 mm), adjust the vertical tilt of
the idle-side blade wheel.
