Usage Instructions：
Tool Clamping
· Handle the tool lightly when clamping
· Do not contact the diamond tip directly
· After removing the Diamond Turning Tool, place it back in the tool box immediately
· Do not leave tools exposed to avoid damaging the diamond
Tool Cleaning
· Wipe the diamond tips gently with a clean foam stick dipped in industrial alcohol
· Avoid excessive force or abrasive materials that could damage the cutting edge
①After-sales servies
We have professional after-sales service team and after-sales system which called “Litian Century after-sales system”. This system is used to manage the information of after-sale maintenance products, and can realize the functions of inquiring the grinding progress, grinding cost and feedback of after-sale problems. Advantages of the system: "zero consultation, more time saving, more convenient, more efficient", users can log in at any time to check.
②Quality Assurance
The company is equipped with advanced inspection equipment and trained inspection personnel which assure us carry out inspections during each process. At the same time, every single tool can be sent to our customers after the professional inspection by Quality Control Center.
