11.1.2 Servicing cutting fluid
Pour cutting fluid or coolant mixture into chip tray so
that it drains through strainer into basin. The sight
glass is located on front of base, at lower left.
Many cutting fluids on the market are formulated for
special applications. Consult your local distributor
for details if you have a long range production task
or are required to cut more exotic materials. Refer
to the cutting fluid provider’s instructions for mixing
recommendations and fluid life span.
To drain cutting fluid, unscrew drain plug located at
bottom left of stand (Figure 11-3). Use pipe thread
sealant on drain plug threads when reinstalling.
Follow local regulations for disposal of used
machine fluids.

authorized service personnel.
