Adjust the Guide Wheel Position

Before You Begin

Confirm the machine model and the component or screen being serviced. Record the original condition so the result can be compared after the procedure.

The lumber guide wheel is the final point of adjustment for the lumber before it is cut. The guide wheels job is to position the lumber so that it is inline with saw blade 1 and 2. If you find that the lumber isn’t being cut at all (the wheel is pushing the lumber too far to the right or isn’t pushing it in far enough and is consistently cutting length off of the lumber when it is a doing a standard 90 degree cut adjusting the wheel position can help.

To adjust follow these steps:

Step 1: Loosen two of the jam nuts on the threaded rod under the wheel (there are four total). Move the wheel in or out depending on what issue you are trying to correct and then retighten the jam nuts.

Confirm the Result

After restoring the machine through the approved startup procedure, confirm that the position or count changes in the correct direction, returns consistently, and reaches the commanded value without an encoder, calibration, or overrun warning.

If the issue remains, record the exact on-screen message, affected component, indicator-light state, and the last change made. Provide those details to Enventek Technical Support; do not repeatedly recalibrate or replace parts without identifying the cause.
