Maintenance Tips
-
Keep Dies Clean: Remove metal shavings and debris after each use to maintain precise, burr-free cutting performance.
-
Lubricate Regularly: Apply light machine oil to cutting surfaces to reduce friction and extend die life.
-
Inspect for Wear: Check for dull edges, cracks, or misalignment to ensure consistent, accurate cuts.
-
Proper Installation: Always align dies using built-in grooves for correct seating and optimal operation.
-
Store in Dry Conditions: Prevent rust by keeping dies in a clean, moisture-free environment.
-
Avoid Overloading: Use only with compatible tools (e.g., Shear 30T) and specified strut sizes to prevent damage.
-
Routine Retraction Check: Ensure automatic retraction functions smoothly for safe, repeated use.
