FIGUrE Q
TO FILL THE COOLANT TANk
NOTE: When cutting magnesium, use soluble oils or emulsions (oil/water mix)
as water only will greatly intensify any accidental magnesium chip fire. See your
industrial coolant supplier for specific coolant recommendations when cutting
magnesium.
Remove the Hose (7) at the top of the Coolant Tank (2). Then slide the
Coolant Tank out from under the Stand (77S) of the Bandsaw. (See Figure r.)
Fill the Coolant Tank to about 0% capacity with a clean, water-soluble coolant
(not included). (See Figure r.)
Slide the Coolant Tank (2) back under the Stand (77S) of the Bandsaw. Then
re-insert the Hose (7) through the top of the Coolant Tank. (See Figure r.)
IMpOrTANT: The water-soluble coolant should be replaced as often as is
necessary to keep metal debris in the coolant from clogging the hoses.
