Care and Maintenance
Iron: Apply a light coat of thin oil or WD-40 on the iron if the iron will
be stored for long periods of time or in high-humidity locations. Wipe
the iron clean of finger prints with a clean cloth after each sharpening.
Sole: Wipe a thin coat of quality wax or paraffin on the sole prior to
each session.
Iron Adjustment Mechanism: Apply one drop of light machine oil in
the top of the lead screw and the index pin that fits inside the iron
once a year or upon the frequency of use to prevent premature wear.
Wipe a thin coat of quality wax on the surface of the brass lead screw
pivot to prevent the brass part from getting oxidization.
Store: If you plan to store the HP-12 bench plane for long periods, we
recommend you wipe out the dust from the plane, lubricate all the
moving parts and rub off the finger prints and spilled oil with a clean
cloth. Put the plane in the included micro-fiber plane sock and store in
a safe place.

All returns, replacements, technical services, and support shall be

If there is a defect on the workmanship of the tool (with no fault of the
