At Willard Conservation, we take pride in crafting world-famous hand tools renowned for their high build quality and long-lasting craftsmanship. Each tool is a significant investment in your conservation practice, and with proper care, these tools will serve you for years—even decades—to come.
By following these simple care tips, you can ensure that your Willard heated spatulas remain as reliable as the day you first used them.
Before Using Your Heated Spatula
1. Read the Setup Instructions
• Every Willard tool is unique, with its own setup requirements. Make sure to read the instructions specific to your model before first use.
2. Ask for Assistance if Needed
• Our expert team is always happy to assist with any questions or setup concerns you might have. Don’t hesitate to get in contact with us!
3. Use the Correct Control Units
• Willard Control Units (Standard & Special models) are designed exclusively for our tools. Using incompatible units can cause damage, so stick to the tools specifically designed to complement your equipment.
While Using Your Tools
1. Use Spatula Stands for Safety
• Heated spatulas need a safe place to rest during use. Our spatula stands are the perfect solution, offering both enclosed and open designs. Avoid makeshift solutions like wedging the spatula under the handle of the control unit, as this can lead to damage.
2. Enhance Comfort with a Control Unit Stand
• The Willard Control Unit Stand provides a convenient, inclined position for your unit, making it easier to adjust settings and use during conservation work.
After Using and Storing Your Tools
1. Allow Tools to Cool Completely
• Always ensure that your tools have cooled down fully before storing them away.
2. Coil Cables Carefully
• Avoid winding the flex around the handle. Instead, coil it gently to prevent unnecessary strain and prolong its lifespan.
3. Disconnect Properly
• When unplugging a spatula or iron, hold the plug firmly and remove it directly. Tugging on the flex can damage the plug connections over time.
