KM Tooling
KM Manual Clamping Operating Instructions:
LOCKING - Before inserting the KM unit into the clamping unit (Fig. 1),
clean the contact face and taper.
Turning the torque screw clockwise locks the KM cutting unit in position.
To ensure proper clamping forces are exerted for maximum safe
operation, tighten the unit to the specified torque using a torque wrench.
UNLOCKING - Rotate the torque screw counterclockwise (Fig. 3) until
initial resistance is felt. In this position, the locking balls are free of the
cutting unit, but the taper interference is still holding the KM unit in the
clamping unit. At this point, the bump-off pin is in position to free the
cutting unit from the interference fit.

OPERATING POSITION - With the balls locked in position (Fig. 2),
and the face and self-locking taper fully engaged, the cutting unit and
clamping unit are rigidly secured together.
COLLETS / SLEEVES
Continue to rotate the torque screw slowly until the cutting unit is no
longer making face contact (Fig. 4) and is released from the taper. The
torque screw will stop rotating and a second resistance will be felt. Do
not turn the torque screw any further.
CAUTION: Continuing to rotate the torque screw
may damage the clamping components.
