• Installation tools should be periodically inspected for damage or wear. Tools should be kept clean

so that foreign objects and debris (chips, oil, and dirt) will not clog the tool, and preventing the drive

contour from fully engaging the insert. Operator misuse can contribute to premature wear and/or

damage to the mandrel.

• Lubricate the front and rear prewinder assembly threads, the adapter drive sleeve, and key-way

with minimal amount of grease for smoother operation and longer tool life.

• Use the lowest torque that will install the insert. This will also prolong the life of the tool.

Always wear eye protection when working with KATO tools.

Replacement Mandrels are available from KATO (see part list below).
