4.3 Use of ethanol as cooling lubricant
When using ethanol as a cooling lubricant, observe the following
safety information:
Ethanol
WARNING
Fire hazard due to spark formation!
■
When machining steel or other metals where sparks are
formed during machining, pure ethanol may not be used as a
coolant/lubricant. Use another suitable coolant/lubricant (e.g.
fatty alcohol).
■
If ethanol is being used as a coolant: No more than 5 l of
ethanol may be stored in a flame-resistant canister for
operational use at the machine.
■
Do not place any objects on the top of the machine. If the air
vent at the top is covered, there is a danger that a flammable
atmosphere may form inside the machine.
NOTE
Only use as little cooling lubricant as possible and as much as
necessary: Ethanol max. 500 ml/h!
Chip suctioning
WARNING
Danger of explosion in the vacuum cleaner!
■
Suctioning chips is not allowed when ethanol is being used as
a coolant.
■
Only use extraction equipment which is suitable for extracting
swarf from the material to be machined.
Cleaning
When you clean the machine, wait until the ethanol has
evaporated and use a vacuum cleaner which is free of ignition
sources.
