Maintenance Tips

• Keep Blades Clean – Wipe off metal shavings and debris after each use to maintain cutting accuracy.
• Lubricate Moving Parts – Apply machine oil to hinges, pivot points, and guides for smooth operation.
• Inspect Blades Regularly – Check for dull or chipped edges and sharpen or replace as needed.
• Tighten Fasteners – Periodically tighten bolts and screws to prevent misalignment and ensure stability.
• Avoid Overloading – Do not exceed the 14-gauge metal cutting capacity to prevent blade and machine damage.
• Check Blade Clearance – Adjust the blade gap according to material thickness for optimal performance.
• Ensure Proper Alignment – Position the metal correctly before cutting to avoid uneven edges and unnecessary strain.
• Prevent Rust & Corrosion – Store in a dry area and apply a rust inhibitor or light oil on exposed metal surfaces.
• Perform Test Cuts – Use scrap metal for test cuts to confirm proper function and alignment.
• Follow Safety Guidelines – Wear gloves and safety glasses, and use proper hand placement to prevent injuries.
