4. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

Once the mill is securely attached and the log is stable, you can begin the milling process. Always ensure your chainsaw has sufficient power for the task; a minimum of 60cc is recommended for this 30-inch mill.

4.1 First Cut (Establishing a Flat Surface)

For the initial cut, a guide system is necessary to ensure a flat surface. This can be a ladder, a straight 2x4, or a dedicated guide rail securely fastened to the top of the log. The mill will ride along this guide to create the first flat face of the log.

4.2 Subsequent Cuts (Slab Milling)

After the first flat surface is established, you can use this surface as the guide for subsequent cuts. Adjust the mill's depth posts to achieve your desired slab thickness. Slowly and steadily push the chainsaw and mill assembly along the log, allowing the chain to do the work. Avoid forcing the cut, as this can lead to uneven cuts and increased wear on your equipment.
