the tool's internal parts. Always replace the dust cap on the connector fitting, and store the tool in its clean, dry carry-
ing case when not in use. When using the tool, regularly check that no foreign matter or debris exists in the open areas
between the ram and tool head. Solvent can be used on the tool head to remove any foreign matter or debris. A tool
that is dirty with excessive foreign matter may jam and become damaged during operation.
