Maintenance & Troubleshooting Clean The Cable Chain & Support Tray Clean The Cable Chain & Support Tray As you operate the sawmill, be aware of any pieces of debris that may fall on the cable chain and/or support tray. Stop the sawmill and immediately remove any pieces of wood, bark or anything else that may divert the path of the chain or cause it to jam.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting Cable Chain And Support Tray Alignment Cable Chain And Support Tray Alignment During each sawmill setup, check the alignment of the cable chain and the support tray: 1. The chain should travel in a straight line. Traveling at an angle will cause the chain to prematurely wear and break.
