Tool Safety

1. The power drive is made to thread pipe or bolt.
Follow instructions in Operator's Manual on tool
uses. Other uses may increase the risk of injury.
2. Secure power drive using a No. 775 support
arm. Hold power drive firmly. If power drive can-
not be secured by support arm, use other
mechanical means. Resists torque developed dur-
ing threading and prevents losing control of the tool.
3. Do not use dull or damaged dies. Sharp cutting
tools are less likely to bind and tool is easier to
control.
4. Do not use if momentary contact switch is bro-
ken. The purpose of the switch is to prevent injuries.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
