Care and Maintenance
Wear Strip and Rubber Strip
• Use a Phillips head screw driver to
loosen the screw enough to allow the
Endcap to be removed by sliding it off of
the screw (see Figure 1 & Figure 2).
• With the Endcap removed, slide the
Moving Hinge half way down the length
of the Fixed Hinge exposing the Wear
Strip and Rubber Strip on the Fixed and
Moving Hinges (see Figure 3).
• Use a clean cloth to wipe the portions of
the Wear Strip and Rubber Strip that are
exposed (see Figures 4-7).
• At this time WD-40
®
or equivalent
should be used on cleaned Moving
Hinge surfaces to reduce wear and fric-
tion. (see Figure 6)
• Return the Moving Hinge to the work-
ing position and repeat steps 1 thru 4,
sliding the fi xed hinge in the opposite
direction.
• Slide Moving Hinge back into working
position.
• Reattach Endcaps
Clamping Surfaces
• Clean Clamping Surface each day be-
fore using. Use only clean shop towels
that are free of dirt, oil and metal chips.
• Do not use your MX Series™ Brake
around saw tables as the cuttings may
get in between clamping surfaces or
hinges and cause excessive wear or
material scratching.
• If material is getting scratched,
examine the Stainless Bending Edge,
Fixed Hinge, or Moving Hinge for rough-
ness or burrs. Remove burrs with emery
cloth or replace excessively worn parts.
Transportation
• The MX Series™ Brake should be
transported in the unlocked position
unless a piece of cardboard or vinyl
siding is clamped between the clamping
surfaces.
