ADJUST THE FRONT GUIDE FENCE:
SETUP & OPERATION
• The guide scale shows how many inches the front fence is from the blade. This helps you to determine the width of
lumber you will be sawing.
• For example, if you wish to cut 2" lumber, you will need to adjust the front fence 2" from the blade, or to the 2" mark on
the guide scale. The front fence can be adjusted as often as necessary.
• The front fence can be adjusted from 0 to 12". To adjust the front fence, pull the fence lock handle and slide the fence
to the desired position. Release the fence lock handle to lock the fence into place.
If necessary, level the Edger by shimming under the leg foot pads.
NOTE: Adjust the rear of the edger slightly lower than the front to allow gravity to assist in feeding boards.

ALIGNMENT
Proper machine alignment is important for optimum cutting performance. Check machine alignment often and adjust as
necessary. To check:
1. Adjust the front fence to the 5" position. Be sure the blade clutch handle is disengaged.
2. Loosen the mount knobs and remove the blade guard. Unscrew and remove the blade bearing cover plate.
3.Tie one end of a string (string must be approximately 11’ or longer in length) to the front fence tab. Route the string
around the front end of the fence. Pulling the string tight, align it with the face of the front fence along the entire length
of fence.
4. Use a C-clamp to secure the string to the rear frame cross tube, maintaining the string alignment to the front fence.nt
end of the fence. Pulling the string tight, align it with the face of the front fence along the entire length of fence.
5. Measure the distance between the face of the blade and the string at each end of the blade. The measurements should
be the same as the front fence setting (5 inches) at both ends.

4. Begin edging:
• Making sure the clutch lever is disengaged (in the
raised position), turn the engine switch located on top
of the engine to the ON position.
• Move the choke to the START position.
• Pull the engine cord slowly until you feel resistance,
then pull the cord quickly to start the engine. Repeat
with the choke opened slightly if necessary.
• When the engine starts, slowly open the choke all the
way by moving the choke lever to the OFF position.
• Position a board against the front fence. Push the
board into the blade until the board begins to feed
itself.
• Measure the edged board to make sure the front fence
is adjusted properly. If the measurements are not
correct, readjust the front fence and repeat step 4.
• Lower the clutch lever to engage the blade. Push the
lever down until the clutch linkage locks into the
engaged position.n.

1. Make the Edger lighter and more portable by removing
the engine. To remove, disconnect the clutch linkage from
the motor mount pin and remove the lock pins from the
Edger U-brackets. Lift the engine up and remove it from
the Edger. Reinstall the lock pins into the U-brackets.
2. Back the truck to the rear of the edger until the truck
bed is positioned under the rear of the Edger frame. Lift
the weight from the rear Edger leg and fold the leg up to
the Edger frame, allowing rollers at the rear of the Edger
to rest on the bed of the truck.
3. Slide the Edger into the truck. Secure as necessary for
transport.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
1. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for
engine maintenance recommen dations and instructions.
2. Check the drive belt for wear every 8 hours of operation.
Replace as necessary.
Check the feed table rollers for wear every 25 hours of
operation. Rollers should spin freely, without too much
play. To replace, cut the old roller in half and remove it
from the edger. Install the new spring-loaded roller.
1.Check the blade every 8 hours of operation. Resharpen
or replace as needed
To replace, loosen the two mount knobs and remove the
top blade guard. Unscrew and remove the blade filler
plate. Raise the lock bracket to lock the blade shaft in
place. Through the access hole in the blade guard, remove
the blade retainer bolt (left-hand threads, turn clockwise)
and washer. Remove the retainer plate and blade. Install
the new blade. Reinstall the washer and the nut. Replace
the blade filler plate and the top blade guard. Lower the
lock bracket to release the blade shaft.
3.Over time, the drive belt will stretch. To tighten the belt,
adjust the clutch turnbuckle. If no more adjustment is
available, replace the belt.
Loosen the jam nuts at the upper and lower rod ends
(note the lower jam nut has left-hand threads). Turn the
clutch turnbuckle to the left as viewed to lengthen.
DANGER!
Always shut off the engine and allow all
moving parts to come to a complete stop
before removing any guards or covers.
Failure to do so will result in serious
injury.
WARNING!
Always wear gloves and eye protection
when handling bandsaw blades. Changing
blades is safest when done by one person!
Keep all other persons away from area
when coiling, carrying or changing a
blade. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury.
CAUTION!
Do not lift the engine by the carburetor
when replacing the drive belt. Damage to
the engine may result.
