threaded inserts on either side ( see Fig.3 ) and these should  

 

be aligned with the fixing holes on either side of the lower edge  

 

of the machine bed.

3.3.5  Bolt the machine bed to the stand using the 10mm bolts and  

 

spring washers provided. See 21 and 23 in Fig.4.

3.3.6  Lift the machine and place it in it's intended position. Mark the  

 

floor fixing positions through the holes in the floor fixing points.

 

See 26 and 27 above.

3.3.7  Lift the machine to one side and drill the floor to take suitable  

 

anchor bolts. Lift the machine back into position and secure it  

 

with the chosen fixings. Note: Floor fixings are not provided.

3.3.8 

Stop rod and bracket

3.3.9  Screw the stop rod into the front of the vice as shown above in  

 

Fig.4 - 17. Slide the main bracket (16) onto the stop rod with its  

 

flat surface facing towards the vice. Bolt the adjustable 

 

extension piece into the keyway on the main bracket so that it  

 

is facing towards the vice.  

3.3.10

COOLANT

4.1.1  The use of a water  soluable coolant will increase cutting 

 

efficiency and prolong blade life. Five litres of soluable cutting  

 

oil can be ordered under Sealey Part. No. SCO5L (follow  

 

instructions on pack regarding use and precautions).

4.1.2  Coolant is drawn from the coolant tank by the coolant pump  

 

(see Fig.4 - 18) and fed through a clear plastic tube to a valve  

 

situated on the top edge of the bow casting (see 'J' in Fig.9).  

 

When the valve is opened the coolant is fed down two 

 

separate pipes which deliver the coolant directly into each  

 

blade guide. The coolant is then deposited onto the machine
