Installation Notes

This wrench is a hand tool used during insert change and assembly procedures on indexable cut-off toolholders. Before performing any insert indexing or blade change, ensure the machine spindle is locked out and the toolholder is fully secured or removed from the turret. Use only the designated assembly wrench for the KM series to avoid rounding the clamping fastener or damaging the insert seat. Follow the toolholder manufacturer assembly sequence when seating or indexing blades.
