KM80 units.............................5mm • Order number 1567575 for one grease cartridge. • Order number 1567577 for a 1,000 gram tin. • Clean towels or shop rags. • Solvent or degreaser that does not leave residue (used to clean inside the taper and canister upon disassembly). Should the unit become contaminated, you can use a degreasing agent or something similar to clean the surfaces. CAUTION DO NOT USE silicone cleaner or WD-40™-type lubricants. NOTE: All KM repair packages include the bump-off pin, lock rod, torque screw, two chrome balls, two socket head cap screws, and O-ring. KM Manual Standard KM Manual units require a torque wrench to activate. Using the proper torque wrench value is critical. Tighter is not better because over tightening can cause damage. The specific operating torque of the KM manual clamping units is listed on each unit (torque value information is listed to the right). The KM connection must be kept clean and free from nicks and burrs. KM plugs are available to ensure cleanliness when a cutting unit is not engaged in the clamping unit. activation KM size torque (ft. lbs.) torque (Nm) drive size When a KM head is unlocked, the head will bump-off. KM’s 10:1 taper KM32™ 7–9 10–12 5mm is self-locking, and therefore, requires a mechanical release. This is accomplished within the design of the KM System and does not require operator intervention. KM40™ 9–12 12–16 6mm After the head has been released, you will need to turn the torque screw KM50™ 20–25 27–34 10mm another 3/4–1-1/2 turns. This rotation will feel free of resistance. When the free turning motion stops, the head can be pulled from the clamping unit. KM63™ 35–40 47–54 12mm Do not turn the lock screw further, as damage can occur to the lockrod KM80™ 58–63 79–85 14mm and/or bump-off pin. Operator Maintenance All tooling showing damage must be replaced. Burrs and nicks should be removed by stoning and/or polishing. • Use plugs to protect clamping units when they are not in use. • Use spindle wipers to clean the clamping units. • For spindle wipers, refer to page J31.
