See Figure 3-7.
Open the valve on the water bottle to start water flow to the blade.
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.
Usual flow will be 1-2 gallons (3.8-7.6 liters) per hour. A squirt of liquid dishwashing detergent in the
water bottle will help clean the blade when cutting wood with a high sap content.
WARNING!
Use ONLY water with the water lube accessory. Never use
flammable fuels or liquids. If these types of liquids are necessary to clean
the blade, remove it and clean with a rag. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury or death.
Before removing the blade, engage the clutch/brake lever (sawmills with a gasoline engine only). Let
the blade spin with water running on it for about 15 seconds. This will clean the blade of sap buildup.
Wipe the blade dry with a rag before storing or sharpening.
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.
