Maintenance Tips
-
Clean jaws, slides, and angular surfaces after each use to remove debris.
-
Lightly lubricate lead screws and swivel/tilt mechanisms for smooth operation.
-
Keep all surfaces dry to prevent rust and maintain accuracy.
-
Avoid overtightening to protect alignment and precision.
-
Store in a dry area; apply light rust protection if unused for extended periods.
