Non water soluble coolant has the potential to catch fire if it vaporizes or forms a mist inside the machine. Pay close attention to the following points to prevent the occurrence of a fire.
- Never use anything flammable near the machine.
- If an automatic fire extinguisher is not installed, place a fire extinguisher near the machine.
- When the automatic fire extinguisher and mist collector are used together, attach a shutter so that mist can be stopped for safety. Attach the shutter between the machine and the mist collector.
- Never carry out machining that exceeds the machine specifications.
- Check that the discharge amount and direction of coolant are correct.
- Check whether or not the moving parts or cutting chips alter the dirction of the coolant nozzle.
- Check that the safety devices (coolant level detector, broken cut-off tool detector, etc.) function normally.
- Ensure that all the doors are closed during operation.
