5.1 CLEANING AND OILING
When finished with the machine always clean down the machine and oil with a light oil all
moving parts and machined surfaces.
Clean both of the jaws when finished. Using a vacuum will remove the surface dirt but to clean
them properly, disassemble the jaws as follows.
1. Loosen the Screws M5 x 8mm (25#) to remove the jaw assembly.
2. Remove the jaws and V-block as a single unit.
NOTE: Be careful not to loose the spring between the jaws
3. Remove the Suspension Springs(23#).
NOTE: There is a small jaw opposite a large jaw, top and bottom.
4. Clean the jaws with cleaning fluid and a brush. Do not use a wire brush or a wire wheel.
Always brush in the same direction as the teeth, with the grooves.
5. Clean the V-blocks(10#, 13#,17#,20#).
6. Lubricate the surface between the jaws and V-Blocks.
7. Reassemble. Be sure you place the large jaw opposite the small jaw.
8. When not in use for extended periods of time, lightly oil the jaws to prevent corrosion.
REMEMBER: Clean the jaws after EVERY job.
