Page 21: Leveling The Head Frame
Leveling the Head and Frame In order to cut high-quality lumber and to achieve the highest degree of accuracy, the saw head must be perfectly level. To achieve this, a 3 to 4 ft bubble level is required. Ensure all leveling legs are firmly on the ground and all leg locking bolts and jamb nuts are tight. - Page 22 Leveling the Head and Frame (continued) With the bubble level on the bunks nearest the center of the mill, loosen the two jam nuts on the side of one of the leveling legs and turn the bolt on the top clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to lower the leveling leg (see Figure 22 below).

Page 45: Changing Blades (Removal And Installation)
Changing Blades (Removal and Installation) Power down the mill and lock-out/tag-out main electrical panel. Release blade tension by venting the hydraulic pressure (see Figure 35 on page 35). Open the left and right cowling doors. Pull down on the blade at the top, between the wheels, pulling the idler wheel toward the center. Note: If the blade was broken, manually push the idler wheel back toward the center of the cowling. -
Page 46: Blade Tracking
Blade Tracking Note: The blade tracking is set at the factory prior to shipment, but it may periodically have to be reset. Most band blades will vary on how they track due to the blade material. 1 ½” Blades running on 1” thick steel wheels will be centered on the wheels between ... - Page 47 Tracking the Blade (continued) If the blade is out more than 1/32” you will need to adjust the blade tracking. The tracking plates are located behind each wheel and are labeled “T-adj” (for tracking adjustment). Tracking adjustments should be made thinking of the tracking plate like a see-saw. When making one side of the plate move in, the opposite side of the plate must move out.
- Page 48 Blade Lead Blade lead is the angle of the blade relative to the bunks. The lead must be 0" to 1/32" up from the back of the blade to the front. For best performance use a good quality (48" minimum) straight edge and (2) 12" machinist’s rulers and a good quality tape measure. Note: 1 ½”...
- Page 49 Blade Lead (continued) Next, open the left and right cowling door and check blade tracking to ensure the blade is tracking properly before making any lead adjustments. Rotate the wheels counter clockwise several times, and then stop the wheels so that the weld of the blade is on top between the wheels.
- Page 50 Blade Lead (continued) Place a straight edge (48” minimum) on the left side on top of the bunks close to the guide as possible. Lay a 12” straight edge on the blade between the teeth standing on edge in the center on the blade.
- Page 51 Blade Lead (continued) Once you’ve measured the left side, move your straight edges to the right side (nearest the moveable guide) and repeat the measuring sequence. Figure 49 Figure 49A Understanding Your Measurement Results The ideal blade lead is flat to 1/32” up-lead (higher in front, nearest the cutting teeth) so for example, if the left and right side measure 7”...
- Page 52 Blade Lead (continued) In the event of lead or tracking problems, first check that both the idle and pull wheels are set exactly the same in the vertical position. Example: with a 12” magnetic level, check each wheel vertically. They should be the same. If the idle and pull wheels are not the same vertically, make the adjustment to ensure that they are.

Page 58: Lubricating The Blade
For extreme build up on the blade, water-soluble oil can be used. Diesel fuel or other flammable liquids should not be used as a lubricant. Baker Products will not be held responsible for any damage if this caution is not adhered to. Petroleum products will attack and damage rubber items such as hydraulic hoses and belts. -
Page 59: Checking The Drive Wheel To Idler Wheel Alignment

Changing the Drive Belt If not already in position, move the saw head to the front of the mill (end nearest the operator control station) and lower the saw head down all the way down near the bunks. Power down the mill and lock-out / tag-out main electrical panel. -
Page 61: Trouble Shooting (Hydraulics; Mechanical; Electrical; Production)
Also, non-required adjustments to the hydraulic system may void your warranty. Hydraulic problems are very rare with Baker Band Sawmills. Most problems can usually be traced to changes in pressure or flow. If a hydraulic part does fail, all valves are modular and are relatively easy to replace. - Page 62 Mechanical Problems: Although mechanical problems are rare, there are a few high wear/stress areas that could develop problems. If you have a mechanical problem please see the symptoms below. Check Saw head is not level – as Move the saw head to the operator’s end of the mill and open the recognized by cut wood moveable guide to its maximum width.
