(A) Check that when the log bed
is cranked down, it moves
easily through the saddle plate
driven by its own weight. If this
is not the case:
- Stop the log bed in the position
that you judge to be the sticki-
est. If it is equally hard in all
positions, place it in its upper-
most position.
Lock it using the rachet
cam to prevent it from
falling down.
- Loosen the four bolts on the
saddle plate and place it straight
in relationship to the lifting
beam.
- Loosen the plastic slide rail on
the log bed (D) and adjust it so
that it is straight in relation to the
log bed track.
- Lubricate the sliding surfaces
and the T-track of the lifting
beam using silicon or Teflon
spray.
(B) Check the height of the log
bed. Set the rachet in the 1/4”
position. Place the setting block
on the log bed. Move the chain-
saw guide bar to right over the
log bed. Move the log bed up to
the notch where the setting
block is nearest to the under-
side of the guide bar.
(C) Use the bolt and inside nut
on the rachet bar to move the
log bed up until the setting block
touches the underside of the
guide bar. Should the
adjustment be insufficient or too
much, move the log bed up or
down a notch and adjust again.
Lock using the inside nut.
(D) To adjust the scale indicator,
loosen the two bolts holding it
and the plastic block on the log
bed. Set both indicators of the
scale to 2” in the position where
the setting block touches the
underside of the guide bar.
