Maintenance Tips
- Clean after every use: Wipe both upper and lower rolls to remove debris and prevent surface damage.
- Lubricate key components: Regularly oil gears, bearings, and adjustment mechanisms for smooth operation.
- Roll gradually: Reduce metal thickness in stages to avoid stress on stacked rollers and maintain alignment.
- Monitor alignment: Check both roll sets for even pressure to ensure consistent results.
- Use annealed, clean metal: Prevent roller wear and marking by avoiding hardened or dirty materials.
- Protect all roll surfaces: Keep both rolling levels free from scratches and contaminants.
- Store in dry conditions: Apply anti-rust oil and keep away from moisture to extend machine life.
