Inspection/Maintenance
Before each use, inspect the strut shear head for issues that could
affect safe use.
1. Remove the strut shear head from the press tool.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the tool and head, includ-
ing handles and controls. This aids in inspection and helps
prevent the machine from slipping from your grip.
3. Inspect head for:
• Proper assembly and completeness
(See Figure 1)
.
• Broken, cracked, bent, missing, loose, or binding parts or
other damage to the head and dies.
• Chipping or cracking of the dies
(See Figure 2A).
• Damage to mounting tabs or to arm hinge area
(See Fi-
gure 2B).
• Presence and readability of Warning Decal
(As shown in
Figure 1).
• Any other condition which may prevent safe and normal
operation.
If any issues are found, do not use the Strut Shear Head
until corrected.
