Sawmill Setup

WARNING!

 Chock the trailer wheels to prevent movement

before unhitching it from the towing vehicle. Failure to do so
may result in serious injury or death.

WARNING!

 Failure to put front outrigger down before

moving cutting head from the rest position may result in
serious injury.

WARNING!

 Securely fasten the feet of a stationary sawmill

to the floor before operating the sawmill. Failure to do so
may result in serious 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!

 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.

CAUTION!

 Changes in temperature could cause increased

pressure in the blade tensioner and loss of fluid from the
gauge. Release the blade tension when the mill is not in
use to avoid damage to the tensioner.
