Cleaning the Tool-holder and Spindle
Before inserting a tool in the spindle, ensure that the taper (1) and stop (2) of the spindle and tool-
holders are thoroughly clean, with no traces of dust, grease, cooling liquid, oil or metallic particles, nor
traces of oxide or scale. See the figures below.
Figure 9-2: Tool Holder taper (1) and stop (2) must be clean.
Figure 9-3: Spindle taper (1) and stop (2) must be clean.
Use clean soft cloths when cleaning the Tool Spindle and Tool Holder. Never use abrasive instruments
such as wire tool, metal scrapers, emery cloth, acids, or other aggressive media to clean. Do not direct
jets of compressed air into the spindle shaft when the tool-holder is absent.
