The water tray got stuck

It’s impossible to lift the watertray because it got stuck bij the residu of the anti corrosion stuff from Tormek.
I’m using a diamond stone on the T8. How can i solve this problem, cleaning is not simple.

  • Hi Frank,
    I am sorry tho hear that your elevator got stuck.
    The only thing you to do is to clean the surface where the elevator moves.
    You should clean both the slide guides and the elevator itself.
    Use very hot water (almost boiling) mixed with a bit of dish soap. It’s important to try to get the water between the slide guides and the elevator. Wiggle the elevator while pouring the water onto the slide guides. (please be sure to unplug the machine when you do this).  As the water dissolves the residue, you’ll feel the elevator start to loosen.
    Do not try to rotate the knob when it’s stuck, you risk damaging the elevator.
    Once you feel the elevator loosen up, you can carefully start to rotate the knob to raise or lower the elevator so you can clean the bottom section of the slide guides.

    Good luck, and have a nice day!
    Mats
