Blade Height Sight Gauge

2-26 HD92doc042701 Setup & Operation

2.17 Blade Height Sight Gauge

See Figure 2-16. The sight gauge is provided on the cutting head carriage to help you

decide where to make the first cuts on a log.

Move the carriage forward until the blade is close to the end of the log.

Position yourself so that your eyes are level with the bottom of the sight gauge spring.

With one eye closed, move your head up or down until the bottom of the sight gauge is

lined up with the bottom of the blade.

Sight down the length of the log. You should be able to see where the blade will pass

through the log down its entire length. Raise or lower the cutting head until you get the

blade height you want.

HINT: After judging by eye where you want to make your first slab cut, check the scale.

Move the up/down crank to fine-tune the blade height to an even measurement on the

blade height scale.

Example: Adjust the blade up to 15" rather than cut at 14 13/16". This will make adjust-

ments for the next cuts easier to figure on the scale.
