What happens here

To prepare the sawmill for operation, engage the various leveling jacks located around the frame. These jacks ensure the sawmill is stable and level on uneven terrain. Next, use a log peavey to roll logs into position onto the sawmill's bed. If available, an excavator can significantly ease the process of loading larger logs onto the mill.

Goal: Prepare the sawmill for cutting by leveling it and loading logs.
