Head replacement process
Step 1 – Handling the tool
When not in use, the tool should always be kept in a wooden box delivered with the
tool. This way of keeping the tool prevents any possible damage that could happen when
not handled correctly.
When taking the tool out of the box, always hold it for the shank. Never hold the tool
in the part where the head lifting snouts are.
Hard disk platter rotation speed makes the platters very sensitive to dust and any
other kind of contamination. Because of this, be sure to clean the tool before its use. Tool
can be cleaned with a piece of cotton wool and alcohol. When cleaning the head lifting
snouts, be extremely gentle.
