MAINTENANCE SAW GUIDE AND BACK-UP INSERTS These nstructons can be used to replace the saw gude and back-up nserts on both left and rght saw gude arms. The band drve motor must not be runnng when replacng saw gude and back-up nserts. Loosen the insert adjustment screw on each saw guide arm.
To thoroughly clean the reservoir section below the conveyor trough, removal of the trough will be necessary. Pressure is adjusted by turning the screw extending outward from the hydraulic pump.

TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued..) SAW HEAD WON'T STOP AT THE CORRECT STOCK HEIGHT Check the stock height sensing arm. Is it positioned correctly relative to the saw band? Check to see if the sensing arm is properly actuating the head-clear proximity switch (3 PRS). Check for faulty Solenod 1 operation.
ACCESSORIES ROLLER STOCK CONVEYORS Your machine may be equipped with one of the fol- lowing roller stock conveyors for moving long stock into cutting position (or as an unloading adjunct). The following conveyors are available: • Stock conveyor five (5) feet (1524.0 mm) long by 14 inches (355.6 mm) wide with a weight capacity of 750 pounds (340.2 kg) per roller.
