SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
Keep the work area clean, free of clutter. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause accidents.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating the saw mill. Distractions can cause you to lose
control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.
Be alert to your surroundings. Using a saw mill in confined work areas may put you dangerously close to
rotating parts and the blade.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when using a saw mill. Do not use a saw mill
while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. Inattention while operating a saw
mill may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields which comply
with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust mask if working in dusty work
conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves,
dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate.
SAW MILL USE AND CARE
•Do not modify the saw mill in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or safety
and could affect the life of the equipment. There are specific applications for which the saw mill was
designed.
•Always check for damaged or worn parts before using the saw mill. Broken parts will affect the saw
mill operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.
• Do not exceed the saw mill load capacity.
•Distribute the load evenly. Uneven loads may cause the saw mill to tip, resulting in personal injury to the
operator or others. Log should be secured before sawing.
• Use the saw mill on flat and level surfaces capable of supporting the saw mill and its maximum load.
Pulling or pushing a load on a slanted or uneven surface can result in loss of control. The Saw mill needs to
be on a flat and level surface before sawing.
• Store idle saw mill. When saw mill is not in use, store it in a secure place out of the reach of children.
It is also a good idea to back off the blade tension when not in use, helps to preserve belt and blade life.
Inspect it for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.

Assembly
Read all of the safety precautions and warnings in this manual before setting up or using this product.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: The Sawmill can be dangerous if assembled incorrectly.
If you do not feel completely comfortable assembling it, please have a qualified technician assemble it.
Note: For any additional information regarding the sawmill parts, refer to Assembly Diagram near the end of this
manual.
1) Open the package and carefully remove the Individual parts from the crate and organize on the floor. Leave
the large head unit resting in the crate.
2) The two long boxes at the bottom of the crate are the rail parts. Open these boxes and you will see a small white
box, open and take out the bolts and nuts for mounting the rails.

Range Road Enterprises Ltd
Box 944
Eckville AB T0M 0X0
www.range-road.ca
3) Place 2 guide rails on the floor and install 2 or 3 levelling feet in the large round holes on the bottom of each rail
4) Place the 2 rails on their levelling feet parallel to each other, the measurement from center to center will be roughly:
- RR5022 & RR5026 845mm (33 3/8”)
- RR5032 1008mm (39 11/16”)
- RR5036A 1099mm (43 ¼”)
Alternatively: assemble track without setting width, then:
1) You can assemble the sawmill head assembly, them measure the distance between the left and
right rollers on the sawmill head, that will give you the width that you need for setting the track
width. OR
2) You can assemble the sawmill head assembly, and loosely assemble the track, then set your
assembled head onto the loose track, the track will automatically move out to the proper width,
then run the sawmill head slowly down and up the track to set the width along the entire length of
the track.
Any of the above procedures will be suitable for setting the track width.
For any Sawmill to cut square and straight all pieces have to be squared to each other
and level. Use the adjusting feet to level one rail and then make sure the second rail is
level with the first one.

5) Place the log support cross tubes on each end and put the bolts in snugly but do not tighten. The log support
cross tube that the next rails will also attach to has 4 holes on each side, this rail will eventually be the center of
the rails and it has a side pocket on it.

6) Check your width measurement again:
- RR5022 & RR5026 845mm (33 ¼”)
- RR5032 1008mm (39 11/16”)
- RR5036A 1099mm (43 ¼”)
7) Do cross measurements now to make sure the rails are square to each other.

Range Road Enterprises Ltd
Box 944
Eckville AB T0M 0X0

8) When the rails are square, tighten all 8 bolts in the log support cross tubes and recheck levelness and
squareness, adjust as needed.
9) Mount and tighten centre log support cross tube.
10) Put the levelling feet on next 2 rails and put them in position at the centre log support cross tube.
11)When you have the rails level with the log support cross tube use clamps to hold the outer rails together.

12)Level one rail, then level the 2nd rail from it
13)Check to make sure rails are the correct distance apart at both ends and put on the end log support cross
tube, do not tighten the bolts.
14)Cross measure new rails and adjust
15)When rails are square and level tighten 8 bolts in log support cross tube, mount the centre log support cross
tube and tighten it.
Re check levelness and cross measurements.
