12.3 Accessing and Cleaning the Coolant System
Clean the drain screens on the machine base and the
drains on the ends of the table.
• Drain and wash out the dirt and debris from the
reservoir.
• Thoroughly clean the pump and pump inlet.
• Fill the tank with coolant solution.
12.3.1 Oils for Lubricating Coolant
Any 10:1 (water to coolant) solution will work; however,
we recommend a 20:1 (water to coolant) biodegradable
metal cutting fluid. It has excellent cooling and heat transfer
characteristics, is non-flammable, and extends tool and
machine life. Each gallon of concentrate makes 21 gallons
of coolant.
12.4 Pneumatic Care
• Start with clean and dry air. Follow your compressor
manufacturer’s instructions for proper maintenance,
filtering, and moisture control and removal.
• Use a 10W pneumatic air tool oil in an oiler set at the
lowest setting to provide enough oil to the system to
maintain good lubrication. Once started, do not allow
the air system to run dry.
