coolant, or equivalent and 100 parts of water, or as
recommended. For mixing purposes, the approximate capacity of the
coolant tank is 8 gallons (30 ltrs), leaving a 1” (13mm) head space. The
coolant concentrate improves the finish of the grinding (& polishing)
operation and inhibits rust formation on the parts of the edger.
