2.1
The LubeMizer System
This option is used in place of the standard Water Lube system to lubricate the blade
during sawing. The LubeMizer option applies lubricant to both sides of the blade as you
are sawing to reduce resin buildup on the blade. The system utilizes an automatic valve
which activates the lubricant flow only when the saw carriage is moving forward. The
LubeMizer control box allows you to adjust the volume of lubricant for various wood
types. The LubeMizer option uses less volume than the standard Water Lube, helping to
reduce lubricant/sawdust mess and waste, and to prevent stained boards.
Usual flow will be between .07 and 2.5 gallons (2.6 - 9.5 liters) per hour.
1.
To start the self-priming system,
Open the water lube bottle valve all the way.
Turn the sawmill control box key to the ACC or ON position.
Turn the lube control switch to PULSE
1
and set the lube dial to the desired flow rate.
Use the lowest setting that successfully eliminates pitch buildup.
NOTE:
Softwood applications will usually require more
lubricant than hardwood applications.
2.
Cut the log as normal.
3.
To shut off the lube,
Turn the lube control switch to OFF.
Close the lube bottle valve all the way.
See Figure 2-1.

Pulse is suitable for most cutting applications. CONTINUOUS delivers a steady stream of lubri-
cant and should be used only for heavy pitch buildup or occasional blade cleaning.
