coolant System
the coolant system delivers coolant through a
positional nozzle and is controlled by the control
panel coolant pump switch and the valve lever near
the base of the nozzle hose (see
Figure 45).
NOTICE
Running the coolant pump without ade-
quate coolant in the coolant reservoir may
permanently damage the coolant system on
your lathe. This action is considered abuse
and is not covered by the warrant.
Always use high quality coolant in your coolant
system and follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for diluting. Check the coolant regularly and
promptly change it when it becomes overly dirty
or rancid (see the
checking/cleaning coolant
System subsection on page 54 for detailed
instructions.
To use the coolant system on your lathe:
1. Make sure the coolant reservoir is properly
serviced and fill with coolant.
2. Correctly position the coolant nozzle for your
operation.
3. use the control panel coolant pump switch to
turn the coolant pump
ON
.
4. Adjust the flow of coolant by using the valve
lever near the base of the nozzle hose.
