coolant System

the coolant system delivers coolant through a
positional nozzle and is controlled by the control
panel coolant pump switch and the valve lever near
the base of the nozzle hose (see

Figure 45).

NOTICE

Running the coolant pump without ade-

quate coolant in the coolant reservoir may

permanently damage the coolant system on

your lathe. This action is considered abuse

and is not covered by the warrant.

Always use high quality coolant in your coolant
system and follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for diluting. Check the coolant regularly and
promptly change it when it becomes overly dirty
or rancid (see the

checking/cleaning coolant

System subsection on page 54 for detailed
instructions.

To use the coolant system on your lathe:

1. Make sure the coolant reservoir is properly

serviced and fill with coolant.

2. Correctly position the coolant nozzle for your

operation.

3. use the control panel coolant pump switch to

turn the coolant pump

ON.

4. Adjust the flow of coolant by using the valve

lever near the base of the nozzle hose.
