1. Read all directions you receive and save them for future reference.

2. Never allow anyone not trained in the use of these machines to use them.   I cannot over-emphasize the fact that the single largest cause of injector failure is its use by someone who has not been trained by the owner of the machine or read the instructions that come with each machine.

3. We have seen first-hand, many people putting downward pressure on the injector handle when injecting.   This WILL invariably cause problems.   Always use smooth and even force applied horizontally to the machine, never putting weight on the handle during the injection process.

4. Use medium to fine-cut tobaccos of medium to long length, never pipe tobacco type cuts or other very short cut, bulky blends.

5. Never use tobacco that is overly moist, or overly dry.   The overly dry category includes the powdery tobacco residue often found at the bottom of tobacco bags.   This "Shake" will definitely jam the injector.

6. Finally should your injector become jammed or even require a little more pressure than normal to inject, STOP immediately, open the injector "crank" and clear the tobacco chamber using a non-metallic probe.   Follow this up with a few dry injection motions (no tobacco).   Forcing the injector when jammed with tobacco is the primary cause of failure in all injectors.

7. These machines have a one full year warranty.   However, if you follow the above procedures, as well as adhere to the instructions that come with each machine, you will most likely never need to send a machine for service.
