Cutting fluid System
this bandsaw has a built-in cutting fluid system
that extends the life of your bandsaw blades by
lowering the cutting temperature and washing
away chips.

tion.

material that may have fallen inside the res-
ervoir during shipping.
2. place the filter screen and drain tube in the
reservoir as shown in figure 32.
3. Fill the reservoir to the "high" mark with your
chosen cutting fluid solution.

hAzArD! Never plug or
unplug machine with wet
hands or while standing
on wet floor.
fIrE hAzArD! DO NOT
cut magnesium when
using oil-water solutions
as a cutting fluid! Always
use a cutting fluid intend-
ed for magnesium. The
water in the solution will
cause a magnesium-chip
fire.
4. Adjust the valve on the coolant hose to
control the flow of coolant (see figure 33).
Make sure that the pressure is not so high
that coolant spills on the floor and creates a
slipping hazard.
5. turn the pump toggle switch ON before mak-
ing your cut.

NOTICE
Keep the tray chip screen clear so coolant
can recycle to the pump reservoir. NEvEr
operate the pump with the reservoir below
the low mark or you will over-heat the pump
and void your warranty!
