3.
Turn the top block adjustment bolt clockwise to lower the top block to .008" - .010"
(0.2-0.25mm) from the blade (using the shim as a guide). Tighten the top block mounting
bolt and clamp bolt.
4.
After tightening the clamp bolt, recheck the distance from the top block to the blade and
readjust if necessary.
Manual Side Support Alignment
Logs and boards are clamped against the side supports when sawing. The sides supports
must be square to the bed to ensure square lumber.
1.
Swing a side support down and measure between the face of the support and the main
bed tube. The distance at the top of the side support (’B’) should be equal to or no more
than 1/32" (0.8 mm) greater than the distance at the base of the side support (’A’). Adjust
the horizontal tilt of the side support if necessary.
See Figure 7-43.
Loosen the two adjustment plate mounting bolts. Use a mallet to move
the plate until the side support is parallel to the bed tube in the horizontal position.
Retighten the mounting bolts.
2.
Repeat the horizontal check for the remaining side supports. Adjust as necessary.
3.
Place square alignment tubes (Part No. S12831 - 2 required) across the bed rails. Swing
a side support up so that it is vertical.
