Introduction 

 
You have decided in favour of an environmen-
tally-friendly and economic technology by pur-
chasing a SKF minimum-quantity central lubri-
cation system. Our high-quality systems were 
designed to be used on modern machine tools. 
 
SKF minimum-quantity central lubrication sys-
tems are made in conformity with the generally 
recognized rules of technology and the applica-
ble safe working practices and the rules for ac-
cident prevention. Still, hazards may be involved 
in their use, which can lead to injury of opera-
tors or other persons or damage to the machine 
or other property. 
 
To ensure trouble-free operation and prevent 
hazards, we kindly ask you to read the present 
manual carefully and observe the notes con-
tained in it. 
 

Notes on the Operating 
Manual 

This symbol indicates passages 
of text in which particular dan-
gers or work which requires spe-
cial caution is described. 

 
This operating manual is subdivided into three 
parts. Part A contains a general description of 
both system types as well as basic notes con-
cerning assembly and operation. In parts B and 
C, the special features of the L

 Smart systems are described. 

 
Use the table of contents to locate the desired 
information promptly and successfully. 
 
This operating manual is a part of the system, 
and it must be given to the operating company 
upon sale of the system. 
 

Range of Application 

 

All products of SKF Lubrication 
Systems Germany AG may be 
used only in compliance with 
regulations and according to the 
stipulations of the respective op-
erating manual. 
 
We expressly emphasize that 
dangerous materials of any type, 
especially materials which are 
classified as dangerous accord-
ing to EC directive 67/548/EWG 
article 2, paragraph 2, may be 
stored and transported and/or 
distributed with SKF central lu-
brication systems and compo-
nents only after consulting SKF 
Lubrication Systems Germany AG 
and receiving their written con-
sent. 
 

The minimum-quantity lubrication systems de-
scribed in this document are intended exclu-
sively for the external lubrication of cutting and 
forming processes. In external lubrication, the 
lubricant is transported directly to the point of 
friction between the tool and the workpiece via 
spray nozzles which are fastened to the took 
machine. One or several spray nozzles may be 
used, depending on the mode of operation.
