CLEANING
Clean the jaws after every job. Blowing out with an air hose doesn't do a
thorough job. Vacuuming helps get the filings out. The best way to maintain the
metal former is to disassemble the jaws and clean as follows:
1. Loosen the screws (27) to remove the jaw assembly.
2. Remove the jaws and V-block as a single unit.
NOTICE: Be careful, don't lose the spring between the jaws.
3. Remove the suspension springs (16).
NOTICE: There is a small jaw opposite a large jaw, top and bottom.
4. Clean the jaws with cleaning fluid and a brush. Do not use a wire brush
or a wire wheel. Always brush in the same direction as the teeth, with
the grooves.
