APPLYING COOLANT
• Cutting oil ensures longer cutter life and enables the
slug to be ejected cleanly.
• Oil will be automatically delivered to the cutter when
the cut commences
• When cutting on vertical surfaces or upside down, cutting
paste, gel or foam is recommended. It is best applied inside
the cutter before drilling.
