When you replace the old cutting fluid, take the 
time to thoroughly clean out the chip drawer, 
catch tray, and fluid tank. The entire job only 
takes about a 

1

⁄

2

 hour when you are prepared 

with the proper materials and tools. Used 
cutting fluid is hazardous! Follow all applicable 
regulations for storage and disposal.

  Position the coolant nozzle over the splash 

guard, so it is pointing behind the lathe. If 
you have the optional hose, connect it to the 
end of the coolant nozzle now.

  Place the 5-gallon bucket behind the lathe 

and underneath the coolant nozzle. If you 
have the optional hose, place the hose in the 
bucket. Otherwise, you may need to hold the 
bucket up to the coolant nozzle to prevent 
coolant from splashing outside of the bucket.

  Turn the cutting fluid pump ON (or have 

another person turn it ON if you are holding 
the bucket), and pump the old cutting 
fluid out of the tank. Turn the pump OFF 
immediately after fluid stops flowing.

 The electrical conduit was purposely left 

long, so the tank can be removed without 
disconnecting wires from the pump. Do not 
disconnect electrical lines.

  DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

  Remove the vented cover shown in Figure 

122 and slide the tank half way out of the 
base, as shown in Figure 123.

— If necessary, disconnect fluid hose from 

pump, where shown in Figure 124.

  Pour out the remaining cutting fluid into 

your 5-gallon bucket and close the lid.

 

Wipe up the layer of swarf/residue on the 
bottom of the tank and put the waste in the 
second 5-gallon bucket. Flush out the tank 
with soapy water and drain into the second 
5-gallon bucket.

  Slide the tank partially into the base and 

reconnect fluid hose (if removed).

 Leave one or more magnets at the bottom 

of the tank to collect metal chips and make 
cleanup easier next time.

Refill the tank with new cutting fluid, then 
slide the tank completely into the base.

  CONNECT LATHE TO POWER.

  Open the valve on the cutting fluid nozzle.

  Turn the cutting fluid pump ON to verify 

that fluid cycles properly, then turn it OFF.

It may take a few seconds for the pump to 

start circulating fluid; however, if fluid does 
not start coming out within the first minute, 
turn the pump OFF so you do not burn out 
the pump motor. Try priming the pump 
manually by pour cutting fluid down into the 
nozzle, then repeat Step 13.
