TO FILL THE COOLANT TANK

1.NOTE: When cutting magnesium, use soluble oils or emulsions (oil/water mix) as water only will greatly intensify any accidental magnesium chip fire. See your industrial coolant supplier for specific coolant recommendations when cutting magnesium.

2.Remove the Hose (78) at the top of the Coolant Tank (82). Then slide the Coolant Tank out from under the Stand (77S) of the Bandsaw. (See Figure R.)

3.Fill the Coolant Tank to about 80% capacity with a clean, water-soluble coolant (not included). (See Figure R.)

4.Slide the Coolant Tank (82) back under the Stand (77S) of the Bandsaw. Then re-insert the Hose (78) through the top of the Coolant Tank. (See Figure R.)

.IMPORTANT: The water-soluble coolant should be replaced as often as is necessary to keep metal debris in the coolant from clogging the hoses.
