5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
Milling lumber requires careful technique to achieve straight and even cuts. The Granberg G777 is designed for ease of use, but practice is recommended.
5.1 First Cut Setup
For the first cut, a guide rail system is essential to ensure a straight initial surface. This can be a dedicated rail system (e.g., Granberg Easy-Rails), an aluminum ladder, or a straight 2x8 board securely attached to the log.

5.2 Milling Technique
Start the Chainsaw: Ensure the chainsaw is running at full RPM before engaging the chain with the wood.
Żomm Pressjoni Indaqs: Apply steady, even forward pressure on the mill. Avoid forcing the saw, as this can lead to stalling, poor cut quality, and damage to the chainsaw clutch. The saw should pull itself into the log.
Support the Powerhead: When exiting a cut, especially at the end of the log, apply slight upward pressure on the upright handle to prevent the mill from dipping and creating an uneven finish.
Use Wedges: As you progress through the cut, insert wooden or plastic wedges into the kerf (the cut opening) behind the chainsaw bar. This prevents the log from closing in and pinching the bar, which can cause kickback or chain damage.
Monitor Sawdust: Observe the sawdust being produced. Consistent, fine sawdust indicates a good cut. Large chips or excessive dust may indicate an issue with the chain or technique.
