tasks outlined below.
• Keep the tool exterior clean at all times, especially the
T-track area of the head and die holder. Remove dirt,
debris, and other foreign substances from external
surfaces daily, to help prevent corrosion and damage
to the tool, the ram & piston mechanism.
• Remove all surface contaminants. When surface
contaminants cannot be removed with a cloth, spray
head and ram piston with a general purpose cleaning
