How to use

Secure the workpiece before filing. Hold the ERGO™ handle with a comfortable grip and apply even forward strokes along the file's length; lift the file on the return stroke to avoid dulling the teeth. Use the flat surface for general flattening and the rounded edge for curved profiles or chamfers. Clean the file teeth regularly with a file card to maintain cutting efficiency.

Recommendations

For best results, use light to moderate pressure and maintain a consistent filing angle; select a coarser or finer file depending on the material and desired finish. Store the file dry and protected from impacts to preserve the cutting teeth and handle.
