Cleaning the Magnetic Gap
If any material (fillings, dust, etc.) is apparent in the magnetic gap, it may be easily cleaned using a small
piece of masking tape doubled over with its adhesive side out. Insert the tape end into the gap, and slide
it all the way around. Repeat this process until the masking tape comes out clean.
