Cleaning
For efficient operation, the tooling should be cleaned daily. Use a soft bristle brush to remove debris from critical
areas. For best results, remove the tooling dies from the press. Brush and then use a clean cloth to wipe off the
upper and lower tooling mounting areas. Before reinstalling tooling, wipe all sides of the forms with a clean cloth.
See Chart 3.1 for recommended Preventive Maintenance Schedule.
NOTE
: Using compressed air to clean tooling is
not
recommended. Chips can wedge in the tooling and/or fly at an
operator.
3.2.
Lubrication
1.
Grease the ram including the up and down stroke feed arm.
