What happens here
Familiarize yourself with the sawmill's control panel and hydraulic levers. The panel typically includes an engine start/stop mechanism and controls for various hydraulic functions. Use the hydraulic levers to manipulate the log lift, adjusting the height and position of logs on the bed, and to control the rollers for precise log alignment. These levers also manage the raising and lowering of the dogs, which secure the logs during cutting.
Goal: Understand and operate the sawmill's hydraulic and electrical controls.
