This band saw is fitted with a coolant system that extends
the life of the band saw blade by lowering the temperature
of the blade and the workpiece.

to keep the coolant clean, therefore the coolant should be
changed every 1000 hrs.
To change the coolant.

2. Place a container under the drain and remove the
drain plug on the side of the machine. (Fig 5.5)

secure the screen on the top of the reservoir, and
remove the screen. (Fig.5.6)
4. With clean rags, wipe out the bottom of the coolant
reservoir until it is clean and free from dirt or metal
chips.
