Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before replacing any insert or clamp screw. Use the correct Torx or hex key driver specified for the toolholder to avoid stripping the screw head. Do not overtighten or substitute screws from other tooling systems, as improper fasteners can cause insert ejection during cutting.
