  2. Place the basket filter in the included tray.

    When much milling waste has accumulated in the basket filter, or when milling PMMA, coolant may accumulate inside the basket filter.

    Place the basket filter inside the cleaning tray to catch the coolant which flows out from the basket filter.

    3. Repeat Steps (1) and (2) two to three times, until the basket filter is clean.
  4. Remove the cap of the coolant tank, and then drain the coolant.

    Dispose of coolant and milling waste appropriately in accordance with local regulations.

    Do not thoughtlessly dispose of them in sewers or rivers or dump them in inappropriate locations. Doing so may have an adverse impact on the environment.

  5. Clean the inside of the coolant tank.
    1. Use the included spatula and collect the milling waste in the collection tray placed inside the tank.
    2. Remove the milling waste that was collected in the collection tray.
      After removing the milling waste, use tap water and rinse off any remaining waste in the collection tray.
    3. Pour a little tap water into the tank, shake the tank to the left and right, and then dispose of the dirty water.
    4. If milling waste has adhered to the tank filter (), use a brush to remove it.
      IMPORTANT

      If the filter is clogged or torn, there is the risk of damage to the machine.

      Contact your authorized DGSHAPE Corporation dealer for filter replacement.
