Maintenance

When you replace the old cutting fluid, take the time to thoroughly clean out both sides of the tank. Make sure to dispose all old fluid according to local regulations. Cutting fluid is considered hazardous waste by the EPA. Follow all disposal and storage guidelines when changing and disposing of cutting fluid.

Tip: Maintaining the specific gravity of cutting fluid with a hydrometer or refractometer can greatly extend the life of cutting fluid and reduce operating costs. Properly maintained cutting fluid allows for better cutting and longer grinding wheel life.

To change the cutting fluid:

1.Remove the four button head screws and washers from the tank cover.

2.Open the tank cover so the cutting fluid can be seen.

3.Fasten the waste coolant drain hose to the coolant nozzle. If the connection is questionable, use a hose clamp to ensure it does not leak.

4.Place the other end of the drain hose into one of the 5-gallon buckets. Clip or wire the hose in place so it won’t come out of the bucket when the pump is turned ON.

5.Open the flow lever on your cutting-fluid nozzle all the way open, and turn the cutting fluid pump ON. Do not leave the area as you will need transfer the hose to the other bucket to prevent over-filling and spills.

Leaving the pump running with an empty cutting fluid tank can damage a pump. Shut the pump OFF immediately when the fluid slows or stops coming from the drain hose.

6.When the fluid stops flowing, immediately turn the pump OFF, and disconnect the drain hose.

7.Disconnect the machine from power, lift the pump and cover from the tank, and set it aside for cleaning and inspection.

8.Remove the drain plug, and pour the remaining cutting fluid from the tank into the 5-gallon bucket.

9.Seal the buckets with their lids.

10.Mark or tag the buckets as hazardous waste (according laws and regulations).

11.Using a solution of soapy hot water and rags, clean and dry the tank, the pump, and the cover. If the tank residue is oily, clean with mineral spirits instead of soapy water.

Tip: Place one or more strong magnets at the bottom of the tank to collect fine metal particles from the cutting fluid.

12.Reinstall the drain plug.

13.Mix the new cutting fluid with water in the required ratio until the fluid reaches the specific gravity indicated by the fluid manufacturer.

14.Pour the cutting fluid into the tank. To prevent the pump from running dry, never use less than four gallons of cutting fluid.

15.Point the cutting fluid nozzle into the coolant trough and open the valve.

16.Turn the machine and pump ON to verify that fluid cycles properly, then turn it OFF.
