instructions of the manufacturer in this regard. The required intervals for
replacing the liquids must always reflect the manufacturer's instructions.
Always dispose of operating substances correctly, in accordance with the
legal provisions and local regulations! The cooling liquid is available from
Planmeca.
A water separator is located on the rear or the right side of the unit. This
water separator removes any residual moisture from the compressed air.
However, clean, dry and oil-free compressed air must be provided. If water
accumulates in the sight glass, it can be drained using the drain screw.
To empty the water separator follow the steps below:
1. Turn off the compressed air supply.
2. Turn the drain screw in a counter-clockwise direction (left) until the water
separator is open.
3. Wait until the water separator is empty.
4. To close the water separator turn the drain screw in the clockwise
direction (right) until hand tight.
The water separator must be checked at least once per day and emptied
if necessary. If contaminants are found check the compressed air supply
immediately.
The guide rails and drive shafts are provided with long-term lubrication and
are maintenance free. If necessary they will be re-lubricated during
maintenance by qualified Planmeca personnel.
The following steps must be performed before each wet milling:
1. Clean the swarf filter in the coolant tank.
2. Remove the swarf from the outlet to ensure trouble-free flow of coolant.
3. Check the coolant level. An adequate volume of coolant must always be
available to prevent the pump from running dry and being destroyed. The
capacity of the coolant tank is 1,8 litres.
4. To top up the coolant tank dilute the coolant with distilled water. The
concentration of the coolant is given in the instructions for use for the
coolant.
5. Empty and clean the coolant tank at least every two weeks. For heavier
use, the coolant tank must be emptied and cleaned at shorter intervals.
6. Replace the entire coolant at least once per week.
7. When disposing of the coolant, ensure proper disposal.
