— Confirm hex bolt still touches blade. If
it does not, adjust hex bolt until it does,
then tighten jam nut to secure setting

Coolant is a mixture of cutting fluid and water.
While simple in concept and function, many
issues must be taken into account to mix and
use the correct coolant. Always follow all product
warnings and specifications, and contact the cut-
ting fluid manufacturer for unanswered questions.
Use the information below as a guideline to
choose the appropriate coolant. Always refer to
the cutting fluid manufacturer for specific applica-
tion and safety information:
•
For cutting low alloy, low carbon, and gen-
eral-purpose category metals with a bi-metal
blade , use a water-soluble cutting fluid.
•
For cutting stainless steels, high carbon, and
high alloy metals, brass, copper, and mild
steels, use "Neat Cutting Oil" (commonly
undiluted mineral oils) that have extreme
pressure additives (EP additives).
•
For cutting cast iron, coolant is not
recommended.
Tip: Using a refractometer or hydrometer to
replenish water in water-based coolant can extend
the life of blades and coolant, and ensure consis-
tent cutting results.
BIOLOGICAL AND POISON
HAZARD! Use proper per-
sonal protection equipment
when handling coolant and
follow federal, state, and
fluid manufacturer require-
ments to properly dispose
of coolant.
