3. When dies are not in use, make certain all surfaces are protected with a THIN coat of any good SAE

20 motor oil, and mate and store them in a clean, dry area.

5.3. Periodic Inspection

Regular inspections should be performed by quality control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections

should remain with the dies or be made available to supervisory personnel responsible for the dies. Though

recommendations call for at least a monthly inspection, the inspection frequency should be based upon the

amount of use, working conditions, operator training and skill, and established company standards. These

inspections should be performed in the following sequence:

1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by immersing the dies in a suitable degreaser that will not

affect paint or plastic.
