TOOL CARE

Maintain tools with care. Keep tools in good operating condition. Sharp tool bits perform better and safer than dull tool bits. Well maintained tools function properly when needed.

Check for damaged parts. If a tool has malfunctioned, been dropped or hit, it must be checked for damage. Run no-load tests and feed function checks. Do a com- plete visual inspection.

Electric motors. Use only with proper AC voltage power sources and observe all normal electric shock hazard procedures.

Do not abuse power and control cords. Pulling or running over cords and cables can result in electrical shock hazards and malfunctions. Keep control and power cords out of all cutting fluids and water.

Hydraulic drives. Observe proper procedures for electrically driven power sources. Avoid damage to hydraulic lines. Keep quick-disconnects clean. Grit contamination causes malfunctions.

Air tools. Check the exhaust muffler. Broken or damaged mufflers can restrict air flow or cause excessive noise. Use air motors only with a filtered, lubricated and regulated air supply. Dirty air, low-pressure air or over pressure air will cause mal- functions, including delayed starting.

AREA EQUIPMENT

Secure work. Whenever possible use clamps, vises, chains and straps to secure pipe.

Make sure the tool is secured; it is safer to have both hands free to operate the tool.

TOOL USE

Use the right tool and tool bit for the job. Do not use a tool, which is incorrect for the job you are doing.

Keep the tool bits fully engaged in the tool bit holders. Loose bits are a safety haz- ard.
