Once a month, remove the stylus front cap (the C spanner is provided for easy cap removal) then remove

all the residue with a low-pressure jet of coolant. Do not use a sharp tool or a degreasing agent. The

cleaning interval may be extended or reduced, depending on the rate at which dirt accumulates. If the

inner diaphragm is damaged, return the probe to your supplier for repair.

CAUTION: Do not use the probe with the cap removed. Check that the probe is rmly secured in its

mounting.
