Inspection
WARNING
Daily before use, inspect your press
tool and correct any problems to re-
duce the risk of serious injury from
electric shock, crushing injures, attach-
ment failure and other causes, and pre-
vent tool damage.
1. Remove battery from tool.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the
equipment, especially the handles and
controls. This aids inspection and helps to
prevent the tool or controls from slipping
from your grip.
3. Inspect the press tool for:
• Proper assembly, maintenance and com -
pleteness.
• Any broken, worn, missing, misaligned
or binding parts. Confirm fabric loop is in
good condition.
• Smooth movement of attachment mount-
ing pin between the fully open and fully
closed position. Pin should lock into each
position. Confirm that the run switch
moves freely and does not bind or stick.
