Safety
11
Improper coolant use includes, but is not limited to, these points:
• Do not use plain water. This causes machine components to rust.
• Do not use flammable coolants.
• Do not use straight or “neat” mineral-oil products. These products cause damage to
rubber seals and tubing throughout the machine. If you use a minimum-quantity
lubrication system for near-dry machining, use only the recommended oils.
Machine coolant must be water-soluble, synthetic oil-based or synthetic-based coolant or
lubricant.
NOTE: Be sure to maintain your coolant mixture to keep the coolant
concentrate at acceptable levels. Improperly maintained coolant
mixtures can allow machine components to rust. Rust damage is not
covered by your warranty.
Ask your HFO or your coolant dealer if you have questions about the specific coolant that
you plan to use. The Haas Resource Center website has videos and other general
information about coolant use and maintenance. You can also scan the code below with
your mobile device to directly access this information.
1.6 Safety Decals
The Haas factory puts decals on your machine to quickly communicate possible hazards.
If decals become damaged or worn, or if you need additional decals to emphasize a
particular safety point, contact your Haas Factory Outlet (HFO).
NOTE: Never alter or remove any safety decal or symbol.
Be sure to familiarize yourself with the symbols on the safety decals. The symbols are
designed to quickly tell you the type of information they give:
• Yellow Triangle - Describes a hazard.
• Red Circle with Slash-Through - Describes a prohibited action.
