This is a cordwood saw, guaranteed to be free from defects and properly
tempered. It is not guaranteed against breakage of teeth, as this is under the
control of the operator.
MOUNTING SAW IN HORIZONTAL POSITION

carriage bolt.
3. Remove key from small bag attached to pulley, and insert in pulley key way
under set screw.
4. Place pulley on arbor shaft so that it lines up with idler pulley; then
tighten set screw.
5. Place 58" saw belt (7, Fig. 1) over arbor pulley and over middle groove
of engine pulley so belt rides on idler pulley.
6. Tighten set collar (8, Fig. 1) on adjusting screw assembly and turn tightener
screw (9, Fig. 1) until belt is tight; then lock with nut (10, Fig. 1).
7. Remove left hand hex nut and flange from end of arbor shaft. Place saw blade
as shown in Figure 1 over end of arbor and secure it with flange and hex nut. To
insure tightness tap wrench with hammer.
NOTE: Belt leaving idler pulley should enter arbor pulley on a straight
line. If belt tends to run off top of idler pulley tilt idler bracket
