Operation:
The function of the Lubie sprayer is to apply a small amount of lubricant/coolant through
atomizing nozzles onto the cutting tool. The high-pressure air drives the lubricant/coolant
onto the tooling.
The higher the speed of the tooling the higher the air pressure you will use. Band saws
generally use 20-60 psi, moulders, finger jointers and circle saws 90-120 psi.
Disconnect or shut off air supply to the spray system.
1. After tank is completely de-pressurized remove cap.
2. Fill tank with Lubie approved lubricant.
3. Replace cap and reconnect or turn on air supply.
4. Maximum air pressure: 150 PSI
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Use Lubie approved lubricants only.
2. Never use any flammable or combustible liquids (class 3 or 4) in Lubie spray
systems; DIESEL FUEL IS CLASS 4.
3. Never remove the fill cap while the tank is pressurized. Always allow system to de-
pressurize before attempting to remove fill cap.
4. Water-based lubricants will freeze in winter. If the temperature of your mill falls
below 32° F then install a belly band tank heater (PN: OP-4) or build a heated
enclosure around the tank.
5. It is important that you install the air pressure regulator with filter. Rust, scale and
other contamination in air lines can clog the very small ports in the metering venturi.
6. The closer the nozzle to the tooling the better the lubricant delivery. Make sure and
leave enough room to easily remove the tooling.

Assembly and Mounting
Unpack the box and check to make sure the tank, nozzles, tubing, air pressure regulator and
any option parts are un-damaged. Generally mounting will take 45 minutes or less. You will
need a compressed air line with ball valve and a ½” male NPT fitting going to the air
pressure regulator.
We do not recommend nozzles on the outside of the band unless you are having problems
with extreme pitch build-up, which is rare for most large vertical head saws and resaws
cutting hardwoods. Two nozzles above the guide and two nozzles on the inside back.
Sometimes a narrow band has pitch problems on the outside and the Lube Master can help.
Direct the outside nozzle to the band just before it enters the cut. Outside nozzles should
only be installed at the guide just before the blade goes into the wood.
1. Sit the tank upright (it will not work laying on its side) somewhere close to the
machine where you can fill the tank easily and where employees do not trip over the
air line or tubing that runs to the nozzles.
2. Mount the spray nozzles/brackets so that they are between ½” and 3” away from the
tooling. This will vary depending upon whether it’s a band saw, circle saw, finger
jointer or other tooling. See nozzle mounting pictures. The closer the nozzle to the
saw the better but leave room for saw removal.
3. Run the ¼” poly tubing from the tank to the nozzles and wire tie them so they don’t
get caught in your machine.
4. Fill the tank with lube and attach your air line to the air pressure regulator.
5. You are now ready to start the sprayer. See Lubricator adjustment & pressure
settings.

Nozzle Mounting:
12” Band Saw with 2 nozzles mounted just
above guide, 2 additional nozzles go on the
inside of the saw. Any place that is easy to
attach the nozzles on the inside back is OK.
The objective is to coat the blade before it
reaches the top wheel. This prevents any pitch
transfer to the wheel.
1 ½” narrow band inside mount.
1 ½” narrow band standard mount
Finger Jointer

Now that the nozzle mounting is done, fill the tank with lube and attach your airline to the
air pressure regulator. Turn on the air and set the air pressure regulator for the saw or
tooling you are using. See the pressure settings below. Next set the lubricant flow by turning
the black knob on the top of the clear sight dome.
Lubricator Adjustment & Pressure Settings
LEANER – Clockwise
RICHER –Counter Clockwise
Drops per Minute Total Volume
25 dpm 1oz/hr (1/2 pint per 8 hours)
50 dpm 2 oz/hr (1 pint per 8 hours) standard narrow band setting, 2 nozzle
100 dpm 4 oz/hr (1 quart per 8 hours) standard 7”-12” band setting, 4 nozzle
200 dpm 8 oz /hr ( ½ gal per 8 hours) standard 12-14” band setting, 4 nozzle
¾-2” band saws 20-30 psi
3-8” band saws 30-40 psi
10-14” band saws 50-70 psi
Circle saws, moulders, finger jointers 90-110 psi
Your final adjustment will be to adjust the lubricant flow to each nozzle. This is done by
opening or closing the ball valves on the top of the lubrication unit. The yellow handles.
For band saws the best general adjustment is for the line that runs to the inside of the band
pointing at the gullet and tooth area is left fully open. The nozzle that points to the inside
body of the band is 50% open and the two nozzles spraying the outside of the band are 25%
open. If you see build-up stating in any area of the band you can then fine tune the amount
of lubricant to that area.

Cold Weather Operation
All water-based lubricants will freeze in the lines and tank at below 32F. There are a
number of solutions to this problem.
1. Tank freezing is easily remedied by;
a. Installing a 110-volt belly band heater on the tank (PN: 5W669)
b. Building a box around the tank and putting a 25-watt light bulb in the box.
c. Sitting the tank on top of a metal pail and putting a 50-watt light bulb in the
pail.
2. Lube freezing in the lines is the most common problem and to solve this first gently
turn the black drip adjustor knob on top of the lubricator until it stops dripping. Wait
for a minute or two and let the air pressure blow all the lube out of the lines. Then
turn off your air line ball valve or on the air pressure regulator turn off the air. In the
morning simply turn on the air and readjust the lube drip rate.
