Cleaning &
Protecting
Metal chips left on the machine that have been
soaked with water-based coolant will invite oxi-
dation and a gummy residue build-up around the
moving parts. Use a brush and shop vacuum to
remove chips and debris from the working surfac-
es of the saw. Never blow off the saw with com-
pressed air, as this will force metal chips deep into
the mechanisms and may cause injury to yourself
or bystanders.
Remove any rust build-up from unpainted cast
iron surfaces, and treat with a non-staining lubri-
cant after cleaning. Protect other unpainted cast-
iron surfaces with regular applications of ISO 68
oil or other quality metal protectant.
Checking Coolant
Coolant is consistently cycled and stored in the
coolant reservoir. For efficient operation and
tool longevity, add coolant when it runs low,
and change coolant when it becomes dirty from
excessive use.
BIOLOGICAL & POISON
Use the correct person-
al protection equipment
when handling coolant.
Follow federal, state,
and fluid manufacturer
requirements for proper
disposal.
