OPERATION The LubeMizer System The LubeMizer System Lube Mizer system is used to lubricate the blade during sawing. The LubeMizer applies lubricant on both sides of the blade as you are sawing to reduce resin buildup on the blade. The LubeMizer controls allow you to adjust the volume of lubricant for various wood types.
Lube Additives Lube Additives For further benefits, add one 12oz. ( 0.35 L) bottle of Wood-Mizer Lube Additive to a 5 gallon (18.9 L) jug of water. Wood-Mizer Lube Additive enables some previously impossi- ble timbers to be cut by significantly reducing resin buildup on the blade. It helps to reduce heat buildup, wavy cuts, and blade noise.
OPERATION Operation Procedure 2.10 Operation Procedure 1. Install a blade if necessary. Always wear gloves and eye protection when WARNING! handling bandsaw blades. Changing blades is safest when done by one person! Keep all other persons away from area when coiling, carrying or changing a blade. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
Page 38
OPERATION Operation Procedure Always be aware of and take proper protective DANGER! measures against rotating shafts, pulleys, fans, etc. Always stay a safe distance from rotating members and make sure that loose clothing or long hair does not engage rotating members resulting in possible injury.
MAINTENANCE Wear Life SECTION 3 MAINTENANCE This section lists the maintenance procedures that need to be performed. This symbol identifies the interval (hours of operation) at which each maintenance procedure should be performed. Be sure to refer to the motor manual for maintenance procedures concerning the blade motor.
MAINTENANCE Blade Guides Blade Guides 1. Check the rollers for performance and wear every blade change. Make sure the rollers are clean and spinning freely. If not, rebuild them. Replace any rollers which have worn smooth or have become cone shaped. See the Parts manual for blade guide rebuild kits and complete roller assemblies.
MAINTENANCE Miscellaneous Lubrication Miscellaneous Lubrication 1. Using the grease nipples, lubricate chain drive bearings the infeed and outfeed tables bearings, with a lithium grease every 200 hours of operation or once a month. Never apply grease to the feed track chain. CAUTION! It causes sawdust buildup in chain links.
MAINTENANCE Blade Tensioner Blade Tensioner 1. Grease the screw on the blade tensioner shaft with a lithium grease every fifty hours of operation, but at least once a week. See Figure 3-5. FIG. 3-6 Belts 1. Check the blade wheel belts for wear every 50 hours of operation. Replace as needed. 2.
MAINTENANCE Drive Belt Adjustment Drive Belt Adjustment Do not for any reason adjust the drive belt with WARNING! the motor running. Doing so may result in serious injury. See Table 3-2. Check the drive belt tension after the first 20 hours, and every 50 hours thereafter.
Page 44
MAINTENANCE Drive Belt Adjustment Next tighten the lock nuts. NOTE: Be sure to adjust the bolts evenly so the motor remains in alignment. 3. Tighten the four motor mounting bolts. Adjustment Bolts Mounting Bolts FIG. 3-8 Periodically check the belt for wear. Replace if damaged or worn. MHdoc022715...
Page 45
MAINTENANCE Drive Belt Adjustment See Figure 3-9. Keep the motor and drive pulleys aligned to prevent premature belt wear. To align the motor pulley to the drive pulley, loosen the mounting bolts on the motor plate and slide the motor plate in or out until it is in line with the drive pulley. After performing the alignment, make sure the drive belt tension has not been changed.
MAINTENANCE Feed Chains Tension Feed Chains Tension If necessary, use the adjustment bolts shown below to adjust the feed chains tension. The chains should lay freely on the upper bars. Do not over-tension the chains. Over-tensioning CAUTION! may lead to early failure of the gear, bearings, rollers and chains.

ALIGNMENT Alignment Procedure SECTION 4 ALIGNMENT The Wood-Mizer resaw is factory aligned. Be scrupulous when performing all alignment steps as resaw alignment determines the accuracy of your cuts. The alignment procedure should be performed approximately every 1500 hours of operation.
Page 58
ALIGNMENT Blade Installation And Tracking 2. Open the blade housing covers. 3. Manually spin one of the blade wheels until the blade positions itself on the wheels. See Figure 4-2. The blade wheels should be adjusted so that the gullet of 1 1/4" blades rides 3.0 mm (0.12") out from the front edge of the wheels (±...
ALIGNMENT Blade Wheel Alignment 4.1.2 Blade Wheel Alignment The blade wheels should be adjusted so they are level in the vertical and horizontal planes. If the blade wheels are tilted vertically, the blade will want to move in the tilted direction.

Adjust the drive-side blade wheel if necessary. See Figure 4-10. Use the cant control adjustment bolt to adjust the drive-side blade wheel.
ALIGNMENT Saw Head Tilt Adjustment 4.1.3 Saw Head Tilt Adjustment The saw head blade should be perpendicular to the table. 1. Make sure the rollers do not touch the blade. Using the adjustment bolt adjust the saw head tilt to that moment when the blade is set perpendicularly to the table (check perpendicularity with a square).
Aligning the Blade Guides 4.1.4 Aligning the Blade Guides Each Wood-Mizer resaw has two blade guide assemblies that help the blade maintain a straight cut. The two blade guide assemblies are positioned on the cutting head to guide the blade on each side of the material being cut.
ALIGNMENT Blade Guide Horizontal Tilt Adjustment See Figure 4-11. Adjustment Plate Loosen jam nuts and turn screws to adjust roller up or down Blade FIG. 4-11 4. Loosen the jam nut and tighten the appropriate screw until the blade guide deflects the blade 6.0 mm.
