Operation
Optional Lube System (Supplied from Water Tanks)
See Figure 2-23.
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.
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
(on average, the bottle content is sufficient for 4-hour-long cutting). A squirt of liquid
dishwashing detergent in the water bottle will help clean the blade when cutting wood with
a high sap content. Before you start cutting, check the water level in the bottle.
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, start the blade motor with the START button. 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 resaw
when done sawing and store it in a warm place. Blow any remaining water from the water
lube hose.
