5.11.2 Coolant

Friction during the cutting process causes high temperatures at the cutting edge of the tool.
The tool should therefore be cooled during the cutting process. Cooling the tool with a suitable cooling lubricant
ensures better working results and a longer edge life of the cutting tool.
INFORMATION
Use a water-soluble and non-pollutant emulsion as a cooling agent. This can be acquired from
authorised distributors.
Make sure that the cooling agent is properly retrieved. Respect the env.ironment when dispos- ing of
any lubricants and cooling agents. Follow the manufacturer's disposal instructions.

Properly-performed regular maintenance is an essential prerequisite for
safe operation
fault-free operation
long service life of the lathe and
the quality of the products you manufacture.
Installations and equipment from other manufacturers must also be in JPW condition.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
During work on the bit-holder head, make sure that
collector vessels are used, with sufficient capacity for the amount of liquid to be col- lected.
liquids and oils are not spilt on the ground.
Clean up any spilt liquid or oils immediately using proper oil-absorption methods and dispose of them in
accordance with current legal requirements on the environment.
Cleaning up spillages
Do not re-introduce liquids spilt outside the system during repair or as a result of leakage from the reserve tank:
collect them in a collecting vessel to be disposed of.
Disposal
Never dump oil or other pollutant substances in water inlets, rivers or channels.
Used oils must be delivered to a collection centre. Consult your superior if you do not know where the collection
