Cutting Fluid System

FIRE HAZARD! DO NOT cut magnesium when using oil-water solutions as a cutting fluid! Always use a cutting fluid intend- ed for magnesium. The water in the solution will cause a magnesium-chip fire.

This bandsaw has a built-in cutting fluid system that extends the life of your bandsaw blades by lowering the temperature of the blade and workpiece.

See Cutting Fluid on Page 26 for additional information.

To use the cutting fluid system:

1.Remove the Phillip head screw and the res- ervoir screen.

2.Thoroughly clean and remove any foreign material that may have fallen inside the res- ervoir during shipping and machine use.

3.Fill the reservoir (Figure 10) with your chosen cutting fluid solution and replace the screen.

4.Turn the cutting fluid pump switch ON, and adjust the valves on the cutting fluid hoses to control the flow of cutting fluid (see Figure11).

Note: Too much flow at the fluid nozzle will make a mess and can make the work area unsafe; and not enough fluid at the cut will heat the blade, causing the blade teeth to load up and break.

NOTICE

Keep the screen clear so cutting fluid can recycle to the pump reservoir. NEVER oper- ate the pump with the reservoir below the low mark or you will over-heat the pump and void your warranty!

5.Monitor the cutting fluid level frequently to keep the system working properly. DO NOT let the cutting fluid level fall out of view on the sight glass.
