Edges Not Square | ||
Description | Probable Cause | How to Correct |
Entire edge of the material is out of square with the bottom. | Wear in the chain race. Both edges greater than 90 degrees from the bottom. | Check the feed chains side to side for flat. More than .018" across chains will cut material un-square. Replace feed chains and race. |
Saw blade is not parallel to feed chains. | Check saw lead. Adjust saw lead. | |
Blade is not square with both feed chains. One side greater than 90 degrees, the other is less than 90 degrees, to the bottom. | Check the blade to both feed chains. Set the angle of the arbor assembly. Be certain of the need for this. This is an uncommon adjustment. | |
Leaves a snipe on the trailing end of the material. | Wear in the chain race. Both edges greater than 90 degrees from the bottom. | Check the feed chains side to side for flat. More than .018" across chains will cut material un-square. Replace feed chains and race. |
