**WARNING 1:** THIS MAY **NOT** BE SUITABLE FOR **BF16** OR **G0704**. FIRST, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 155MM BETWEEN HOLE CENTERS AND THAT THEY'RE M6 HOLES. IF IT'S SUITABLE PLEASE DROP A LINE SAYING IT IS! **WARNING 2:** THIS MAKES USE OF THE Z AXIS **LOCK SCREW** HOLES. IF YOU USE LONG BOLTS YOU MAY LOCK YOUR AXIS AND **DAMAGE** IT OR YOUR MOTORS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. **I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES.** This is based on wantmys2000's Loc-Line Hose Clamp for Taig Spindle, which is released under a share alike license and therefore this abides by the same license. Thank you! Instructions: Position hose on one of the clamp sides and confidently fold the other hose clamp side around the hose. Use an M6x30 bolt to screw through the holes while holding both sides closed against each other. Position the tongue (the long, thin part) over the Z axis, matching the holes beneath, setting the bigger round side on the bottom, with its "clicks" side facing outwards and the flat side facing against the Z axis. Use M6x30 bolts to attach this on the lock screw holes of the Z axis, by setting the clamp on the tongue at the desired angle. Make use of the optional sleeve to attach on the upper hole, or use a shorter (7-10mm long) bolt without it. **DO NOT USE LONG BOLTS** which could lock your Z axis and cause damage. You may need to screw through the parts holes with the bolts themselves, as they're slightly tight. Tighten until clamp feels firm while deforming the loc-line around. **DO NOT FORCEFULLY TURN** the clamp once it's been tightened over the tongue. To change the clamp angle, loosen its bolt until you can gently turn it, then tighten again. Enjoy!
