5.
Move the carriage forward to check the distance to the blade at the inside of the pivot rail
support. All measurements should be equal within 1/32" (0.8 mm).
6.
After the lower track rollers are adjusted properly, adjust the upper and lower stop screws.
Tighten each screw until it just touches the rail. Then, back the screw off 1/2 turn. The gap
will be approximately 1/32" (0.8mm).
CAUTION!
It is important that the lower stop bolts are properly
adjusted to secure the carriage on the track rail. Failure to properly
adjust the stop bolts can cause saw head damage, especially during
mill transportation.
Bed Rail Adjustment
1.
Move the clamp so it is 10" (254mm) from the clamp stop. Adjust the clamp down to its
lowest position. Move the saw head forward until it is positioned over the clamp. Raise
the saw head until the blade measures 15 5/16" (385 mm) from the clamp at its lowest
position.
2.
Adjust the front pivot rail 90° to the main bed tube.
3.
Move the saw head to center the blade over the front pivot bed rail.
4.
Measure the distance from the top of the pivot rail to the bottom of the blade. Make this
measurement at each end of the pivot rail.
5.
The two measurements should be 15" (375 mm).
