5 USE
ATTENTION!
Use the filter system with full filter package only.
The MistEliminator operates by activating the integrated or
connected extraction fan.
CAUTION!
Always turn off the connected or integrated
extraction fan when the machine tool is not in
operation.
Using the MistEliminator when the machine tool is
not in operation will lead to evaporation of the
aqueous (water) part of the metal working fluid. As
a result, the filters will be clogged by crystallization
of the additives that were dissolved in the metal
working fluid.
5.1 Oil container
During use, you must check the level of contents in
the oil container regularly. The emptying frequency
depends on the intensity of use and will be a matter
of experience.
• Check the level of contents in the oil container on a regular
basis.
• Empty if necessary. Refer to paragraph 6.2.
