blade could shatter into several pieces and escape from the
protective guards of the sawmill. Small blade pieces pro-
jected into the area around the sawmill creates a safety
hazard for the operator and any bystanders surrounding the
mill.
WARNING! DO NOT use blades with stress cracks. Blades
with stress cracks can shatter causing bodily injury and/or
machine damage.
Preventing sap buildup on the blade is critical when using the high-performance blade
guide system. If the wood you are sawing leaves sap buildup using plain water in the
blade lube system, use Wood-Mizer lube additive (part no. 033439).
Throat Screw
Make sure the blade screw in the top center of the C-frame is 1/16" (1.5 mm) away from
the blade. If not, loosen the nut and adjust the screw as necessary. Check the screw
every blade change. Failing to maintain this adjustment will lead to early blade breakage.
