To use the coolant system on your lathe:
1. Make sure the coolant tank is properly
serviced and filled with the appropriate
fluid, and that you are wearing the necessary
personal protection equipment.
2. Position the coolant nozzle for your
operation.
3. Use the coolant pump switch on the control
panel to turn the pump ON.
4. Adjust the flow of coolant by using the valve
lever near the base of the nozzle hose.
Important: Promptly clean any splashed fluid
from the floor to avoid a slipping hazard.
Running the pump without adequate fluid in
the coolant tank may permanently damage it,
which will not be covered under warranty.
Rod Support
Models SB1043PF, SB1045PF, and SB1061PF
include a rod support that gives additional
reinforcement to the leadscrew and feed rod (see
Figure 92).
Figure 92. Rod support.
Rod
Support
Ideally, the best position along the bed for the
rod support is mid-way between the right end of
the leadscrew and the farthest place toward the
tailstock that the carriage will travel during the
operation.
Use a 6mm hex wrench to loosen the cap screws
that secure the clamp plate, position the rod
support where desired, then re-tighten the cap
screws.
To avoid lathe damage, make sure the carriage
will not crash into the rod support when using
longitudinal power feed.
BIOLOGICAL & POISON
HAZARD!
Use the correct personal
protection equipment when
handling coolant. Follow
federal, state, and fluid
manufacturer requirements
for proper disposal.
