Lube Additives
For further benefits, add 12oz. of Wood-Mizer Lube Additive to a 5 gallon jug of water.
Wood-Mizer 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.
WARNING!
Use ONLY water, Wood-Mizer Lube Additive or
windshield washer fluid 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 do so can dam-
age the equipment and may result in serious injury or
death.
See Table 2-1.
Use windshield washer fluid as an antifreeze to prevent the water from
freezing and damaging the LubeMizer system. See the chart below for recommended
mixture levels depending on the temperature where you are sawing or storing the saw-
mill.
Run the LubeMizer system on the “Continuous” setting for 30 seconds after adding the
windshield washer fluid to the system. This will insure the water throughout the system
will not freeze and damage the check valves.
CAUTION!
Add windshield washer fluid to the water tank
and prime as recommended when sawing or storing the
sawmill in below-freezing temperatures. Use windshield
washer fluid with a freezing point of at least -20°F (-29°C).
Failure to do so may cause damage to the LubeMizer sys-
tem.
