Inspecting The Press
Tool and Attachments
WARNING
Inspect your pressing tool and attach-
ments daily and correct any problems
to reduce the risk of serious injury from
electric shock, tool and attachment fail-
ure and other causes and to prevent tool
and property damage.
1. Inspect press tool according to the spe-
cific tool operator's manual.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the
tool and attachments, especially the han-
dles and controls. This reduces the risk of
the tool or attachment slipping from your
grip and makes inspection easier.
3. Closely inspect all pressing attachment
components (jaw sets, rings, actuators,
etc.) for any cracked, broken, worn, miss-
ing, mis-aligned or binding parts or any
other sign of damage that may prevent
proper and safe operation. Damaged parts
can cause the attachment to make incor-
rect pressed connections or fail during use,
and cause serious injury or property dam-
age. If any damage is found, the attach-
ment should be discarded and replaced.
Always discard the complete
WARNING
pressing attachment. Never replace individual
components or exchange parts between as-
semblies. Failure to replace the entire assem-
bly may result in component failure and seri-
ous injury.
