After repositioning, retighten the clamp using
the same two plastic screws.
Tear off the used Teflon
®
material below the
clamp. Replace the roll when there is no more
usable Teflon

cover roll:
(See Figure 7)
Loosen the two plastic clamp screws and
rotate the roller knob with one hand while
pulling the trailing end of the Teflon
®
up with
the other until the two roller mounting screws
are visible.
Remove the two screws (use either a magnetic
or starter screwdriver). keep the screws for
reuse in mounting the new Teflon
®
cover roll.
Install the new Teflon
®
cover roll by passing
the mounting screws through the two eyelets
and into the roller. The screws should be snug.
Do not over-tighten as damage could result.
Rotate the roller knob, winding the Teflon

REPLACING COMPRESSION PAD
Over time the silicone rubber compression pad
becomes brittle and pitted and needs to be
replaced.
Remove the upper Teflon
®
cover by first
removing the retaining spring. keep the parts
for reuse.
Remove the nut and bolt retaining the
compression pad holder. (See Figure 8)
Peel off the old compression pad and
clean the area so it’s free of lumps and old
adhesive.
The replacement compression pad has a
pressure sensitive backing. Carefully remove
the backing paper and attach the new
compression pad to the jaw. Be sure that it is
flat and has no depressions or lumps.
Reinstall the upper compression pad holder
and Teflon
®
cover.
