Tool Inspection

WARNING
Daily before use, inspect your electrical tool and
cor rect any problems to reduce the risk of serious
injury from electric shock, crushing injures, inter-
changeable head failure and other causes, and pre-
vent tool damage.
1. Make sure that the electrical tool battery is removed.
Inspect the battery for damage. If any damage or
modifications are found, do not use until the battery
has been properly repaired or re placed.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the tool, including
the QCS Sleeve, handles and controls. This aids
inspection and helps pre vent the machine from slip-
ping from your grip.
3. Inspect the electrical tool for the following:
• Proper assembly, maintenance and complete-
ness (See Figures 1-3).
• Any broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding
parts.
• Presence and readability of the tool and battery
warning labels.
• The fabric loops are undamaged and stitching is
not torn.
• Foreign material in the QCS that could damage
the electrical tool or interchangeable heads.
• Confirm that the twelve (12) retaining balls in the
QCS coupling are present in all openings and that
there is no damage. Figure 4 shows the inside of a
complete and clean QCS coupling.

• Any other condition which may prevent safe and
normal operation.
If any problems are found, do not use the tool until the
problems have been repaired.
4. Inspect and maintain any other equipment being used
per its instructions to make sure it is functioning prop-
erly. Inspect the interchangeable heads for wear,
deformation or other issues. When inspecting the
mating portion of the QCS coupling on the inter-
changeable heads, dimples in the grooves of the
QCS coupling are normal with use and are not con-
sidered damage (Figure 5).
