Hi all,
I've just bought a montolit minipiuma and noticed the rail is quite stiff.
Does anybody know how to fix this? I don't know whether it needs adjusting or lubricating?
I've never had a montolit before but got a good deal so couldn't let it go!
If it needs lubricating what am I best using on it?
Also any tips on how to work the thing would be helpful as I'm usually a rubi guy!
Thanks in advance!
Hi mate ..If you’ve only got it & it’s stiff it just needs adjustment…there’s 2 small screws on a blue bar on the main handle …don’t make it too loose as it goes wobbly resulting in a wobbly cut…keep it lubed with some WD40 every now & again

I just use the spray as the dust from working just drys it up …suppose you could use some other sort of lubricant…hope this helps

Yeah spot on thanks mate much appreciated
Use some dry silicone spray lubricant, I spray it on the bar and the wheel, cuts like silk every time!
