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 staining 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 sharp-
ening.
For lubrication benefits, add 12oz. (0.35L) of Lube Additive (part number ADD-1) to 5 gallons
(18.9 liters) of water. Lube Additive enables some previously impossible timbers to be cut by sig-
nificantly reducing resin buildup on the blade. It helps to reduce heat buildup, wavy cuts, and
blade noise. This biodegradable and environmentally friendly pre-mix includes a water softener
additive, so it works with hard water.
Do not use flammable fuels or liquids such as diesel fuel. Failure to follow
this can damage the equipment and may result in serious injury or death.
Use ONLY water and Lube Additive with the water lube accessory. If these
types of liquids are necessary to clean the blade, remove it and clean with
a rag.
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.
5.11 Transporting the Sawmill

ing the sawmill. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
