CARE OF GASKET CUTTERS
1. After using a gasket cutter, wipe it clean and apply a
thin film of oil to prevent rusting.
2. Carefully place the gasket cutter on a shelf, rack or
other suitable place to avoid damaging its cutting
edges.
3. For long-term storage, coat the gasket cutter with
rust-preventive compound. Protect the cutting
edges and store carefully in a dry place.
