What happens here
Before starting the sawmill, perform essential checks. Check the engine oil level. Lubricate the entire slide mechanism with automatic transmission fluid using a squirt bottle to prevent rust and ensure smooth movement of the saw head. Also, ensure the blade lubrication reservoir is filled with a soapy water solution (or windshield washer fluid in winter) for cooling and cleaning the blade during cuts. Remember to remove the reservoir cap during operation and store it safely to prevent loss.
Goal: Prepare the sawmill for safe and efficient operation.
