Operator’s Manual
Selection of appropriate materials and joining
methods is the responsibility of the system designer
and/or installer. Before any installation is attempted, care-
ful evaluation of the specific service environment, includ-
ing chemical environment and service temperature, should
be completed. Consult connector manufacturer for selec-
tion information.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC)
The term electromagnetic compatibility is taken to mean
the capability of the product to function smoothly in an
environment where electromagnetic radiation and elec-
trostatic discharges are present and without causing elec-
tromagnet interference to other equipment.

Tool Inspection
WARNING
Daily before use, inspect your electrical tool and correct any
problems to reduce the risk of serious injury from electric sho-
ck, crushing injures, interchangeable head failure and other ca-
ses, and prevent tool damage.
1. Make sure that the electric tool battery is removed.
Inspect the battery for damage. If any damage or
modifications are found, do not use until the battery
has been properly repaired or re placed.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the tool, including
the QCS Sleeve, handles and controls. This aids
inspection and helps pre vent the machine from slip-
ping from your grip.
3. Inspect the electric tool for the following:
•
Proper assembly, maintenance and complete-
ness.
•
Any broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding
parts.
•
Presence and readability of the tool and battery
warning labels.
•
That the fabric loops are undamaged and that
the stitching is not torn.
•
Foreign material in the QCS that could damage
the electric tool or interchangeable heads.
•
Confirm that the twelve (12) retaining balls in the
QCS coupling are present in all openings and that
there is no damage.
Figure 4 shows the inside of a
complete and clean QCS coupling.

•
Any other condition which may prevent safe and
normal operation.
If any problems are found, do not use the tool until the
problems have been repaired.
4. Inspect and maintain any other equipment being used
per its instructions to make sure it is functioning prop-
erly. Inspect the interchangeable heads for wear,
deformation or other issues. When inspecting the
mating portion of the QCS coupling on the inter-
changeable heads, dimples in the grooves of the
QCS coupling are normal with use and are not con-
sidered damage (
Figure 5).
