indicator with the nearest mark on the scale you want to use. Make a trim cut. When you return the
carriage for a second cut, lower the carriage to the next mark on the scale. This mark shows where
the blade should be positioned to cut a certain thickness of lumber, without having to measure on
the inch scale.
Example:
You want to cut 1" (25 mm) (4/4) random width boards from a log. Position the blade for
the first cut. Adjust the quarter scale so a 4/4 mark is aligned with the red line on the indicator.
Make a trim cut. Return the carriage for the second cut. Now, instead of having to measure down 1
1/8" (29 mm) on the inch scale, you can simply lower the blade so the indicator is aligned with the
next 4/4 mark on the quarter scale. Turn the log 90 degrees and repeat.
2.19 Water Lube Operation
See Figure 2-16.
The Water Lube System keeps the blade clean. Water flows from a 5-gallon
(18.9 liter) bottle through a hose to the blade guide where the blade enters the log. A valve in the
bottle cap controls the amount of water flow.
Super models include a solenoid valve that will automatically start the water flow when the power
feed is activated in the forward direction. The solenoid will stop the water flow when the feed
switch is returned to the neutral position.
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.
