When you are not using the Stem 
Master, it should be stored in the 
original case supplied.  This helps 
to avoid damage to the Stem 
Master whilst it is not in use.

1)  Clean the Stem Master 

(following instructions in  
section 5).

2) Remove the handle grip by 

twisting it in a clockwise 
direction and pulling it down to 
release. 

3) Remove the piston, by applying 

a small amount of downward 
pressure on the calibration dial. 
Detach the piston from the 
keyhole slots in the side arms 
and pull the piston from the 
main body of the Stem Master. 
Then remove the spring from the 
piston.

4) Wash and rinse the piston and 

spring, then allow to dry.

5) Once dry, smear a very small 

amount of liquid paraffin or 
castor oil onto the piston  
and spring, in order to keep the 
parts lubricated.

6) Replace the spring onto the 

piston and, with the trigger in 
the open position, reattach the 
piston to the main body.  Secure 
it by fastening the keyhole slots 
in the side arms.

7) Reattach the handle grip by 

pushing it onto the piston 
assembly unit and secure in an 
anti-clockwise direction.

8) Ensure the calibration dial is set 

to the 1mm position.

9) Store in the case supplied.
