The sawmill's first lever breaks. Push the log platform to the far right, use the left platform's lever to position the log, and cut it with the blue button. Pull the platform holding half a log left, then climb from the log to the repair tool upstairs.

  1. Carry the tool back to the broken lever.
  2. Repair until the smoke disappears, then pull the lever.
  3. Return aboard with the tool.
  4. Raise the sail after passing beneath the sawmill.
