Introduction
This cutting fluid kit is for the Model SB1029
Surface Grinding Machine. The system is
designed to pump water-soluble cutting fluid to
minimize grinding wheel wear, load-up, glazing,
and heat. Using cutting fluid helps maximize
the quality of workpiece results, especially on
materials that should not be ground dry.

To install the cutting fluid kit:
1. DISCONNECT THE SURFACE GRINDER
FROM POWER.
2. Fasten the four swivel caster wheels to the
tank, and make sure the drain plug is tight.
Tip: Place one or more strong magnets at the
bottom of the tank to collect fine metal
particles from the cutting fluid.
3. Route the pump power cord around the
backside of the surface grinder, or fasten it
up and away from the floor.
4. Connect the SB1044 power cord to the
surface grinder as outlined on the Model
SB1029 Pump Connection Wiring
Diagram on Page 7.
If the surface grinder uses a 440V power
supply, the pump motor must be rewired as
shown in the OPTIONAL 440V 3-PHASE
CONNECTION diagram on Page 7.
5. Remove the existing chip shield and drain
cover from the table, as shown in Figure 2.
Retain the fasteners to install the SB1044
splash guard and port.
Note: For shipping purposes, the front and rear
splash panels are fastened together with four
wing nuts on the rear splash guard wall.

the trough to the machine, as shown in
Figure 2.
8. Insert one end of the drain hose into the
tank, and fasten the other end to the trough
using the hose clamp.

fasten the delivery hose to your desired
cutting fluid nozzle with the hose clamp.

INSTRUCTIONS
Operation
Only use high quality water-soluble cutting
fluid in this system. Never attempt to pump
straight cutting oils or kerosene. If you do, the
higher viscosity of the oil will overload the motor,
causing damage, or flammable liquids may
ignite.
Following the cutting fluid manufacturer’s
guidelines, check and maintain the specific
gravity of the cutting fluid to its required level.
Change the fluid when it becomes overly dirty,
rancid, or contaminated.
BIOLOGICAL & POISON
HAZARD!
Use the correct personal
protection equipment
when handling cutting
fluid. Follow federal, state,

requirements for proper
disposal.
To use the cutting fluid system:
1. Make sure the cutting fluid is properly
serviced and the tank is filled.
2. Put on the necessary personal protection
equipment.
3. Position the cutting fluid nozzle for your
operation.
4. Use the control panel coolant switch to turn
the cutting fluid pump ON.
Coolant Switch
Running the pump without adequate fluid in
the tank may permanently damage it. This
damage is not covered by warranty.

5. Adjust the flow of cutting fluid for the type of
flooding required.
Note: Promptly clean any splashed cutting fluid
from the floor to avoid a slipping hazard.
