Maintenance

Cleaning and Storage
After use clean the hay core sampler with a damp cloth and rub it dry.
Store in dry place, preferably inside where the temperature stays above
32°F / 0°C and doesn't fluctuate much.
Maintenance – Sharpening
The most important factor of any kind of coring device is sharp cutting tip.
Thanks to the non-serrated cutting tip, the blade of the tip is easy to
sharpen with basic grinding stone. Try to maintain a 15°-20° degree
cutting angle for optimal performance. (Fig. 2)
Tests have shown that Hay Core Sampler's cutting tip stays sharp for
about 500 full depth core samples taken from dense round hay bale.
You can also use drill to sharpen the cutting tip but use special care when
sharpening the tip with the help of drill.
