Not all types of wood require the use of the Water Lube System. When it is needed, use
just enough water to keep the blade clean. This saves water, and lowers the risk of stain
-
ing the boards with water.
When changing blades, let the blade spin with water running on it for about 15 seconds
before removing it. This will clean the blade of sap buildup. Dry blade with a rag before
storing or sharpening.
For lubrication benefits, add one 12oz. (0.35L) bottle of Wood-Mizer Lube Additive to 5
gallons (18.9 liters) of water. Wood-Mizer Lube Additive enables some previously impos
-
sible timbers to be cut by significantly reducing resin buildup on the blade. It helps to
reduce heat buildup, wavy cuts, and blade noise. This biodegradable and environmen
-
tally friendly pre-mix includes a water softener additive, so it works with hard water.
WARNING! Use ONLY water and Wood-Mizer Lube Additive with the
water lube accessory. Never use flammable fuels or liquids such as
diesel fuel. If these types of liquids are necessary to clean the blade,
remove it and clean with a rag. Failure to follow this can damage the
equipment and may result in serious injury or death.
If you are sawing in freezing temperatures, remove the water lube bottle from the sawmill
when done sawing and store it in a warm place. Blow any remaining water from the water
lube hose.
