IMPORTANT
The needle bed may be damaged if the channel file is
used improperly!
If too much of a stay is filed off, the needle bed is defective at
this point and can only be repaired by a Stoll technician.
➜ Use the channel file for the removal of burrs only.
➜ The grooves must be cleaned carefully after the channel
file is used.
