Adjusting
Wheel Alignment
The following adjustment was performed at the
factory and should not need to be performed
unless there is a wheel alignment problem, or one
or more wheels are replaced.
When wheels are coplanar (see Figure 115),
the saw mill is more likely to cut straight without
wandering; and vibration, heat, and blade wear
are considerably decreased because the blade is
automatically balanced on the wheels.
Wheels parallel and coplanar.
Wheels parallel, but not coplanar.
Left wheel is not laterally aligned
with right wheel.
Right wheel is not vertically
aligned with left wheel.
Figure 115. Wheel alignment illustration.
Bringing the wheels into alignment may require a
combination of shimming a wheel and adjusting
the position of the left wheel shaft.
