Sawyer Login – Checking this box will prompt a login
before using the Saw Production Reporter.
Office Mode – Checking this box will enable the
program to function on a computer that is not
connected to the saw.
NOTE
If this option is checked on the computer at the saw, it will not be
able to cut lumber.
This option is useful when truss designers are unsure if
the cut falls within the capability of the saw. With Office
Mode checked, they will be able to simulate the cutting
setup on their computer.
Metric Units – Checking this box enables the saw to
receive information and to display in metric units.
Idaco Angles – Checking this box enables the saw to
receive and display angles using the Idaco convention
where a square cut is 0°.

Setting up Bevels

When BEVELS is clicked or touched in Manual Mode, the
popup in Figure 33 appears.
The values in Figure 33 allow adjustments for bevel
cutting. Begin bevel cutting with all the values set to
0, and make adjustments only if the bevel centerlines
and/or overall length of bevel pieces are not accurate.
Always cut three or four like pieces before making a
decision about the amount of adjustment. Warped
lumber can significantly affect both centerlines and
overall length of bevel pieces.
!
Be very careful when making adjustments to these values. It's easy
to get confused with this process and enter a value that exceeds
the software limitations of the bevel axis. Contact Alpine
Equipment Customer Service at 1-800-521-9790 for assistance or
additional explanation.
