Check coolant daily. Insufficient or dirty coolant can cause a low cutting rate and
premature blade failure. Dirty coolant may cause bacteria growth that may cause skin
irritation.
•
When cutting magnesium never use soluble oils or emulsions (oil-water mix) as waster
may start an accidental magnesium chip fire. Talk to your industrial coolant supplier for
specific recommendations.
•
Pay attention to wiping dry surfaces where coolant accumulates but does not evaporate
quickly such as between the bed and vice of the machine. This is to prevent the
machined surfaces from corroding being that a water-soluble coolant is used.

When the saw arm is opened the interlock switch will function to stop all blade
