MIST COOLANT
THE SYSTEM: Mist coolant is delivered from the coolant tank mounted on the back
of the head to a drip applicator valve which has a sight glass. Next, the coolant
enters a manifold where it is directed into a nylon tube which passes through the
center of the flexible air tube. The air and coolant are mixed at the end of the
applicator tube nozzle to form a fine mist.
THE APPLICATION: Regulate the mist by adjusting the drip applicator valve and
counting the drops visible through the sight glass. A normal adjustment to produce
a fine mist would be about one drop of coolant per second. Direct the mist stream
on a metal surface to check for a fine, consistent mist. If the mist stream is inter-
mittent, with spurts of coolant, there is probably an air leak somewhere at the
manifold. Check all joints. Bend the mist applicator tube to direct a mist stream
on the blade teeth and work.
COOLANTS TO USE: The mist applicator is
designed to work properly with
coolants such as POWER-CUT HD-600,
Kleen-Kool, and POWER-CUT No. 360.
MAINTENANCE: Clean the nozzle and cool-
ant tank when necessary. If the nylon
center tube is replaced, disassemble and
replace the nylon tube, make sure all
joints are sealed and tight, coil the appli-
cator tube a few times, then trim off the
excess nylon flush with the end of the
nozzle.
SUPPLY CABINET
The supply cabinet provides
for orderly, safe storage of
saw band coils, welded saw
bands, file bands, as well as
the component parts and
accessories when they are
not being used on the
machine.
Saw bands may be looped
into a triple coil, but the
file bands should be hung
over the appropriate hanger
in one loop.
