Check power wire connection After the power source wires have been connected, check if the power wires are connected to the correct points or not. This can be identified by checking the running direction of the conveyor. If the conveyor belt runs to the connect direction, this means the power wires are connected to the correct points.
SECTION 7:CONTROL PANEL SYSTEM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Safety rules for control system Do not alter or bypass any protective interlocking systems. All electrical/electronic trouble shooting and repairs should be undertaken only by personnel who are properly trained and skilled.

SECTION 8 : ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adjust conveyor table To adjust the conveyor table left to right: 1. Disconnect the resaw from the power source! 2. Use your test board to determine which direction the conveyor table needs to be moved. For example, if the right side of the board was thicker than the left side —you will need to move either the right side of the conveyor up or move the left side of the conveyor down.

Saw blade guide adjustment To align the guide blocks: 1. Rotate the wheels by hand and watch how the blade feeds through the blade guides. If the blade feeds through the blade guide without touching the guide block or rotating the support wheel, no adjustment is necessary.
2. Rotate the adjustment shaft until the support wheel is approximately 0.016" behind the back of the blade. Check with a feeler gauge or four thicknesses of a dollar bill. 3. Tighten the lock bolt. 4. Spin the wheels clockwise by hand. If the support wheels turn, increase the spacing between the blade and the bearing (the bearings should only turn when cutting).
