Sawmill Alignment
9.2 Complete Alignment Procedure
The Complete Alignment procedure should be performed approximately every 1500
hours of operation (sooner if you regularly transport the sawmill over rough terrain).
NOTICE:
The alignment procedures should be done in the order listed
here, as each procedure builds on the previous procedure.
Frame Setup
Before performing the following alignment procedures, setup the mill on firm, level
ground.
Level the frame and adjust the saw head.
Complete Blade Replacement
1.
Open the sawhead and remove the saw blade.
2.
Replace the blade wheel belts.
NOTE:
New blade wheel belts are required to perform the complete
alignment procedure.
3.
Blow sawdust off of the blade guide assemblies and blade housings.
4.
Remove the blade guide assemblies.
NOTE:
To remove the blade guide assemblies and maintain the tilt
adjustments, only loosen one side screw and the top screw. Leaving
the other side screw and bottom screw in position will insure you will
return the rollers to their original tilt adjustment.
5.
Adjust the outer blade guide arm until the outer blade guide is approximately 24” from the
inner blade guide.
6.
Install a new blade and apply the appropriate tension.
7.
Close the blade housing covers and make sure all persons are clear of the saw head.
8.
Start the engine.
9.
Engage the blade momentarily, rotating the blade until the blade positions itself on the
wheels.
