Engine Blown? Testing the sawmill after ENGINE TROUBLES
What happens here
Once all desired lumber has been milled from a log, or when moving to a new log, use a leaf blower to clear accumulated sawdust from around the sawmill bed and drive chains. This helps maintain the equipment and prevents sawdust buildup from becoming a hazard. For inventory, use a black Sharpie marker to label the finished boards with their dimensions (e.g., '2x6x8'). Finally, ensure all tools are stored safely, and the sawmill is powered off if work is complete.
Goal: Clean the work area, organize and mark lumber.
