Installing the lubricant/cooling system

The instrument is equipped with a lubricant/cooling system which must be activated
when using the diamond cut-off wheel and the polishing foil inserts. It can also be
used for cooling during milling to improve the surface quality. The bottle is normally
filled with water and a few drops of liquid soap.

A peristaltic pump (8.1) is located inside the case. The right hand tube should be
inserted into the lubricant bottle (8.2) and the left to the spout (8.4). Insert one tube
into the lubricant bottle through the hole of the lid to the bottom of the bottle. The
other tube is connected to the spout located on the protective cover (6). Insert spout
(8.4) into the alignment part (8.5) of the cover, either with the straight end from the
outer side or from the inner side (pictured and recommended), depending on the
sample length. By tilting and turning the spout the water stream can be adjusted to
the tool.
Place the waste container (8.3) beneath the milling area close to the corner of the
instrument. Connect the grey cable of the level sensor into the pug near the tube of
(8.1).
If the bottle is empty and the level sensor is connected, the instrument will not
run or will stop automatically to protect the sample during an automated run
(EMPTY will be displayed on the LCD display on the control panel). If the
sensor is disconnected the instrument will run (when using other
suspensions).
