HCT Maintenance and Cleaning
Responsible personnel and operators of the Power & Signal Group HCT should maintain the tool with each use.
• Use a clean, lint-free cloth to remove dust, moisture, and debris from the tool. Do not use abrasive cleaners on
the tool, which could result in damage.
• Make sure that all screws and other removable parts are secure and in place.
• All pivot points, bearing surfaces, joints, and other movement points should be regularly oiled.
• When the tool is not in use, its handles should be closed to prevent foreign objects from being lodged in the
niches and recesses of the tool.
• Store the tool in a clean and dry area.
