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 Fairmont
service center for inspection.
Skin injection hazard:
Do not use hands to check for oil
leaks. High pressure oil easily punc-
tures skin causing serious injury,
gangrene, or death. If injured, seek
medical help immediately to remove
oil.
