Maintenance

Each Operating Day
Before use:
1. Inspect dies for wear or damage such as cracks,
gouges, or chips.
2. Inspect the tool for damage or leaks. If damage is
detected, return the tool to an authorized Greenlee
service center for inspection.
Skin injection hazard:
Do not use hands to check for
oil leaks. High pressure oil easily
punctures skin causing serious
injury, gangrene, or death. If injured,
seek medical help immediately to
remove oil.
