TOOL MAINTENANCE
4.1
INSPECTION
A thorough inspection should be carried out prior to usage,
storage or transportation to ensure the completeness and
condition of the tool.
Inspection should include:
• visual inspection of the outer parts of the tool,
checking for obvious damage, degradation or missing
parts

tool actuation). Damage to the Alignment Piston can
be indicative of tool over-load.

prior to the tool being used, stored or transported.

If more thorough cleaning is required (for example
following immersion in water) carry out the following
cleaning procedure:
• strip the tool down, observing the schematics in
section 8
• clean the components using detergent, following the
manufacturer’s guidelines
• rinse the components to remove traces of detergent
• dry the components thoroughly
Inspect, service and lubricate the tool immediately after
the cleaning process.
