The coolant reservoir on this mill is only designed to store coolant. During storage some fluids grow dangerous microbes, which will produce an unpleasant odor. As well, due to the collection of toxic metal chips in the fluid, the fluid can become a potent and extremely poisonous solution to humans and animals. Use the correct personal protection equipment and immediately change the coolant if either of these conditions occur.
Follow Federal, State, and the coolant manufacturer's requirement to safely dispose of the used coolant.
